Default Roadtrip to Raleigh, NC

After a short trip into the office tomorrow morning I'm off for a roadtrip to Raleigh, North Carolina. Arranged an in-person meeting with my contact that works for the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. He was of course pivotal in my authoring the NCSHP SSP Mustang History & Restoration Guidebook.

Both Mustangs will be there and available for my viewing pleasure. Will be taking LOTS of photos in/out of the 1993 NCSHP SSP Mustang and the 1984 Mustang convertible "donated" to the NCSHP that was painted in their silver and black. I'll also take some video with my ipod that I can post up on youtube or something like that.

After the morning I won't have any access to this site for a couple days. To that end I won't be able to post any informational updates to this post until some time on Friday. Should be fun .

Hi Hector - I'll ask about the unmarked cars while I was there to see if can jog my contact memory on those kind of NCSHP SSP's. Unfortunately the tossed all the written records when changing computers circa 2000.

Default Successful trip

Returned home from my trip early this morning. About a 12 hour drive there on Wednesday and a 12 hour drive back on Thursday. It was a succesful trip to a beautiful part of the country. Took a few videos with my ipod and am trying to download those to youtube right now and will post links to them when I'm done.

Also took about 350 photos of the various old NCSHP cars including the 2 Mustangs; 2001 Camaro; 1941 Ford; 60-something Ford; Harley Davidson motorcycle; early 90's Cheverolet Caprice. Will be working to get those photos posted up to my Fotki album to share with you.
