Good time guys! The turnout was pretty poor because of the weather, even though it never rained. The sky spit a couple of times but that was it. I guess it was enough to scare away a lot of the potential show participants. There were NO Boss 302's, Boss 351's, or Boss 429's. There was also NO Mustang Cop Cars (California Highway Patrol, Florida Highway Patrol or Georgia Highway Patrol units.) There was only 1 Shelby Mustang and 1 SVO.
Also, they could have let all of the Capris into the show but they said "No" and even made Matt (1986RavenBlack) hide his Capri behind some bushes in the parking lot in front of the showfield. Later on, they allowed a McLaren Capri into the showfield and that raised my eyebrows because I never received an answer to my e-mail about the allowing of Capri's. After that, Matt was able to plead his case and was allowed to bring his '86 Capri into the show. It's a true survivor and with some TLC, it can be brought back to brand new condition. It's not too often that you can find an original, unmolested Mustang or Capri, especially when they're equipped with a 5.0/5-speed combination. There's no rust on it and he has a blank canvas to paint his picture - an excellent starting point, as it's "all there".
We had a nice ride down there though, as there were 9 Mustangs.

1984 Mustang GT-350 (Capriman86)
1985 Mustang GT (Retro50)

1992 Mustang GT (My friend Noah's)
1993 Mustang Coupe (WETDRM)
2004 Mustang Mach I (My friend Kenny's)
2005 Mustang GT (My younger brother's)
I ended up winning "Most Popular" in the 1974 to 1993 category, while my brother Retro50 took first place in our class (if someone wins a Most Popular trophy, they are excluded from other placings). Rafiki47 (Steve) bagged 2nd place with his White '85 GT ('85 Upper front bumper cover with '87 GT style front lower airdam and foglights). It looks nice with the two bumpers joined together.
All in all, it was a decent day but I wished more cars had shown up.

It's too bad the weather scared everyone away such as myself. I woke up at 5:00 a.m. and the weather was not good at all. I didn't think it was going to be a good day.
I would have liked to be there with everyone. There are still a few cruises left and the NE Tech show in Oct. I am glad to hear that they finally let Matt's Capri into the show. I definitely don't think the Capri's should be left behind and hidden. Congrats again to the trophy winners!

I loved his coupe!! I had been toying with the idea of painting mine black. They look sharp in black.
It was a great guys, and Girls. Congrats to all the Winners, its cool to get a trophy but the cruise is the real fun for me.
