Trip to Putnam County...

[HEAVYGT]

Yesterday my Finance and I took a trip to see her fathers property in Putman County, IL. about 30 miles north of Perioa, on Lake Thunderbird. Beautiful and relaxing country. The Kenne Bell performed flawlessly as we reached speeds of 140 mph on interstate 180. We even got to race an older gentlemen in a white Roush 427R! He tried to pull on us but couldn't keep up with the KB!

Here are some pics...

I know, I really need to get some video shot as well.

This car loves the cool weather! I need to get your cell phone #, PM me. I think we drove right past your neck of the woods down I80, right? I would have stopped by to say "hey."

Thanks. I wanted something different than the boring double white stripes on a red car, so I had a set of custom metalic silver set made in a solid 20 inch strip with 1 inch strips along the side. They are graphics. I had them done through a Ford dealership in Northern Illinios. They contract the work out. They are the best I have ever seen...not some cheap kit. It makes the car stand out!

I figured after the description of the tire type, that you would have elaborated on how useless they are for traction.. Especially after our phone conversation..

Actually Erin, I was surprised, they were alot better...maybe it was just that the first time I drove on them it was 40 degrees and they still had stickers on them. Starting to get use to getting sideways...its fun!
