Guest Luke Warmwater Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Traveled to Olthoff Racing in Mooresville, NC this week to pick up the GT40. Great bunch of folks. Had a great time but am wore out from driving our asses off. Good to be back home in Colorado.
Guest Luke Warmwater Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Headed out towards Ashland NC and on to Knoxville TN Wed night, then St Louis Thur 6am, and on to Hays Kansas Thur afternoon. Windmills as far as the eye could see for 20 miles or more. Rolled into Denver around midnight Thur.
Guest Luke Warmwater Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 This is with the mufflers on. I have megaphones coming next week that will take it to a whole other level of nasty <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_A14tDl7VOk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

mc2hill Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Nope, I don't like you any more! Especially after I watched your new video of your new old GT, then watched your old video of your old new GT running with the white GT! Congrats on the sweet new ride Mike!
TK427 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Sick Ride, Boy would I love to get my hands on that around the track:D
MichiganSRT8 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 so very nice, there was one over here at a car show last year, pristine and just amazing!
mikegeaney Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Good luck with it. That is a beautiful machine.
Guest Luke Warmwater Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Yesterday I had the privilege of taking the car up to a charity dyno competition for a little girl who has brain cancer. There were so many companies and people that showed up to support the family it was incredible. I was able to contribute a few hundred dollars to them by raffling off a ride in the car. The highlight of the day for me was being able to take Morgan out for a jaunt in the car. I'm not a sentimental type of person but to be able to hang out with this little girl and talk to her almost brought tears to my eyes. She is an incredibly strong and positive person while being in such a painful and sad situation. If there's a God on heaven he owes that little girl one. Video as we left to go for a ride <iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XR8w54RAvOc?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Guest Luke Warmwater Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Later driving home <iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6TveNeTVg40?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Guest Luke Warmwater Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 The star of the show Morgan Wildman.
mc2hill Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Great way to help Mike! The star of the show Morgan Wildman. I bet that grin will not come off for weeks!
Guest Luke Warmwater Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 My part was small in comparison to what many folks did. Puts everything into perspective for sure. This little girl blew me away with her positive attitude. What do I have to complain about anyway!
70'sChevyGirl Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Alright now Mike, another fun fast car. Didn't you want to take me for a ride?? I bet you had a great ride home!! How much HP does that have and it sounds great!! Since it is going to be snowing there soon are you putting it to sleep like you did the old car? :D:D
Guest Luke Warmwater Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Ha that's great although I'm not sure I would consider myself that successful. Just lucky in some respects I guess. If you're in CO I'll give you a ride no problem. The car has a Roush 427R in it. 550hp and 2200lbs. It's a ton of fun Yup, unfortunately, I have 2 more weekends to get it out for a spin before I put it away form the winter. I'm actually looking forward to doing a little work on it over the winter and making some slight mods and adjustments. It's a very raw car. No power steering, brakes, and a heavy clutch and shift action. You drive this car. It's an absolute blast and a car I love a lot more than even the GT.
Adam Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Wow, nice car Mike! Glad you made it to the event, and did you see our reps and donated goodies there? Our prayers go out to Morgan as well.
