Fuel is amazing! Jason a really nice guy and his shop is top notch! Every car in there is a work of art. If your looking for a builder I don't think you can go wrong at G-Force Design.

My next post should be after I park Fuel in my garage 2200 miles away....

Thanks for all the nice stuff said about the car. I feel like I cheated by purchasing a PT car rather then building. Hopefully I redeem my self with my high speed venture across the country, Take Care~ Drive safe.

You didn't cheat, many of us stuck in "forever projects" secretly wish we would have done this. lol

And buying a done car is less expensive that building, besides it doesn't make you less of a car guy.

Hell, a real car guy drives his junk and you're putting 2,200 miles on the car right off the bat.

Take pics and document the story of the trip. I'm sure we would all like to hear about your personal "power tour". :yes:

Congrats Dave and Jason....
Another cool G Force Designs Concept car on the road:thumbsup:
Scott

well it left tonight at about 6:30

It was a sad moment for all of us , I hope they have a great trip .
I will inform everyone of any updates. they plan to drive for 24 hrs then sleep .

I just spoke to Dave about there trip . Right now they are past Chicago somewhere and have been driving since 6:30 last night .

Dave and Fabion have been averaging speeds in the 100's and have been running smooth.

I will keep informing you guys the updates as I get them .

I just spoke to Dave again , he says it goes much faster in the daylight. HE IS DRIVING IT LIKE HE STOLE IT HE SAYS

Apparently the cops dont like Canadians at the gas station , LOL !!!!

Congrats on the sale/purchase guys. Awsome car :yes: . Hope the trip to the new home goes smoothly :) .

David

Wow...pretty cool to follow along here on the road back home.:thumbsup:
Can't wait for more updates...with pictures and burnout videos.:unibrow:

Go Dave Go!!! Bring FUEL to Canada! :D Now only if you Americans would give us back the Stanley Cup :lol:

That is so cool.......I would love to do soemthing like that someday. You got some serious balls to jump in that sucker and drive 2200 miles. Sick car man...congrats!

I just spoke to Dave again. Fuel has been running great and they finally stopped after a 24 hr jaunt. I think they are in ST Cloud Minn. right now. Looks like there heading to fargo North Dakota and then across Montanna and up to Calgary .

He seems to be having a lot of fun .
I think he will be posting some updates soon .

I wish I had more time for the updates but we are DRIVING! The burn outs LOL ya... there would be some good video, from the first unintentional ones...to the ones out of the "hood" gas station in Minneapolis for or lives/car and all the others all between.
The car is crazy good I'm super stoked, words can't explain! The adrenaline rush and a few dozen Red Bulls keeps us going and then we turned on the stereo, Wow!
Eat Now> Sleep> on the road again in a few hours! (funny we picked our hotel by the best car security in town!)

Oh ya Jason I said I would not drive in bad rain.... well it's not sooo bad really... I just wish it was not at night! Still handles like a charm in the rain just a bit greasy.

What size of snow tires? LOL

I am so happy you are driving it and having fun . This is what we build these cars for , heck with the perfect , super clean show cars !

The stereo should be plenty to keep you awake, are you getting some pictures along the way ?
How many miles have you driven ?

We're getting an adrenaline rush reading these posts Dave ! Driving IS what these cars are made for and it's so cool you're getting to do just that.

THANKS for letting us join in on the ride man !!! Crank it up !

:thumbsup:

Well once again I just heard from Dave. They just called after buying a car along the way .

They are about 100 miles to Montanna. And in a few miles FUEL will have 5,000 miles on it . It has been running perfect and the only malfunction they had was a loose ground in the trunk and lost tailights and fuel gauge.

They actually stopped to try to fix it and they were asked what was wrong with there Mustang, LOL !

At this last stop they went to get gas, had a crowd around the car in North Dakota, probably not to many cars that look like FUEL in North Dakota!
They were approached by a guy who had a RS/SS 68 Camaro for sale. they quickly took off to see it and forgot to pay for gas. Shortly after that they were pulled over by 2 cops for not paying. After they explained the situation and paid for there gas they went to look at this other car .

I dont know much about it but apparently they bought it.
I cant wait to see there post later tonight.

Imagine they will wait to hit the border in the daylight. Roughly 700 miles to go to its home.

This makes us at G Force feel real good about the work we do . Hammer down Dave !!!!!!!

We need pics!

I would hire a security guard with a .45 to stand by the car all night;)

What a great story !:thumbsup:
My old Nova was shipped to Australia on a HUGE cargo ship !
Not too much excitement there.
I'll probably never hear about it ever again.

But this is awsome !

This is like a Lateral-G soap opera. :lol: Go Dave Go!

This trip sums up the PT lifestyle!! GO DAVE!! :thumbsup:

Man I hope he's taking pictures...:yes:

Fuel is home sitting in my garage!!! :willy:

Amazing trip. I tried to quickly upload a few pics, have some great ones but my brain is burnt out, not much sleep and a bit to much partying for a road trip like that.

I'll post some pics and details later, must go sleep.

Just wanted to say thanks to Jason and the rest of the guys at G-Force!!!
It was a pleasure doing business with you.
You build mind blowing cars. I really can't believe I own such a nice car.


More details later>>>>

good to hear you made it!!

Glad you guys made it back safe :yes: :woot: . Congrats again to you and the guys at G Force on the sale/purchase. I really have to give you guys props. To you for having the balls to drive a car you just bought that far to get it home and for having great taste in cars :cool: . To G Force for building such a great car :thumbsup: :hail: .

David

Anyway, congrats man, what a blast that must have been. Really cool.

We left around 6:30PM and drove for about 25 hours almost non-stop, quick fuel stops and thats about it. One point we stopped for about 1/2 hour when an idiot light under the dash came on. We went over the entire car and could not find any issues. Phoned Jason and got word... don't worry about it.

Somewhere just passed Chicago after driving the morning rush hour.

Our first stop for some sleep was in St Cloud, Minnesota the first major city we hit after driving evening rush hour through Minneapolis. (that is a whole story on it's own)

I woke up at about 5:00am to the sound of a car alarm, I panicked, yelled car alarm, two of us bolt up speed dress, and sprint 8 floors down the stairs, up 4 floors into the car park. About the 3rd floor of the car park (about to have a jammer) I realized it was not my car the key fob in my hand was not even going off! That was a rude awaking from a late night out on the town in St Cloud. Up so early we ate a nice breakfast went and bought some car cleaning gear and gave it a wash and hit the road.

We had planed on driving long as the road in Montana long and fast with enough turns to be exciting.

Montana

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...background.jpg

However once night hit the amount of deer on the road was crazy, we passed 4 dead on the road and at least 100 alive.... it was very nerve racking! The brakes are amazing and had too many tests in this zone, we had to pull over. What ever the next town was we were stopping. As we pull into Wolf Point I see out of the corner of my eye, Welcome to Montanas Largest Indian Reservation!!!
Oh my god, it was interesting to say the least. ( again another whole story)
Filled up Fuel, asked where the Hyatt was and raced away to lose the crowds of people, the wild wild west. We checked out all the hotels. In the back of the best choice of the three hotels, we ran into some out of town workers and they said the car would be perfectly safe. Off to the Casino...

Up earlyish and away we go. We hit some of the highest speeds on this section of the trip, clear, empty, straight police free roads. I had Fuel holding about 135 mph for about 15 minutes just hummed along like it was nothing. When we pulled over for the next gas, smoke was pouring out of the engine bay, that was a bad feeling! The drivers side valve cover had come loose. Tightened it up and we took off again, headed for the border.

We stole the "Heart beat out of America," Fuel and I after all the paper work at customs, it's a Canadian car now!
