Thread: Hello From Steubenville......

  1. #1

    Hello From Steubenville......

    Gentlemen, just wanted to give a shout out to all of you here on the forum. Thank you for having me.

    My name is Bill and I'm from Steubenville,Ohio, which in case you didn't know already, is about 20 minutes from Robinson Twp., 40mins. from Downtown Pitt, and a half an hour from Wheeling,WV.

    I've been blessed to know alot about all kinds of cars in general, but my one true passion has always been with Mustangs, at least since I was 14 years old.

    Fortunately, I've been able to make cars in general a part of my everyday life and career.
    I've worked for a local Ford-Lincoln-Toyota dealer here in town now for a very long time. It truly is perfect for me guys being able to be around people and cars all the time.

    Not to long ago, I pulled the trigger and got my favorite car ever.....2012 Shelby GT500. I equipped it with the SVT Performance Pkg., the Electronics Pkg. and Recaro Seats. The color of the car is Race Red.
    I couldn't be happier.

    Anyways, enough of my rambling.....but let me say that I look forward to spending time with all of you here on the forum and hopefully one these days our paths will cross out on the streets.

    All my best to you guys.----Sincerely, Bill Blake

    Hi Bill - welcome aboard!!

    Thank you Paxton. I have met Nick quite a few times at Mountaineer Casino, but I know his brother Jim and wife Babette quite a bit better. I consider them my friends.

    Also of note, their Mom and my Grandmother were best of friends. It's a small-small world, Paxton.

    I had no idea that Nick was that into cars......in all the years I've known Jim, he never ever said a word about it. I guess Jim is just being discreet ?

    Thank you again for the welcome Paxton.------Bill

    Ah ! Well that is great to hear. I would definitely join you, but I'm actually paying good 'ol Atlantic City a visit starting on Friday. Just getting a little time away from the rigors of work, if you follow ?

    The Recaros will definitely be a great move. They'll be money well spent, you'll love them.

    Well have a great time Saturday, thank you for the compliment on the car, and I hope that you continue to enjoy that awesome car of yours,2011GB/CS.

    Bill,

    its a small world lol. His name is Chris btw. I just installed an IRS out of an 04 cobra and i hate the FTBR kit that the IRS came with so i will probably be coming over there sometime to get some prices on OEM subframe bushings and Diff bushings so it will be a while before seeing mine out on the streets. Aside from tearing the rear end back out, i gotta figure out why my front is sitting higher than the rear. I installed H&R sport springs with no ISOs when i put the IRS in and i cant get it to settle. So, hopefully i can get it all figured out and on the street again.
