ive seen that car... its not bad. it figures into my life because the
person that bought the "one day build" car, as it was called, left the same
day as i did to look at the car i bought FFR 1630 (in LA). he left by car
and i left by plane the same afternoon. he arrived first, but couldnt find
the place where FFR 1630 lived. so he went back to mike seniors house and
bought the ODB (one day build) car instead. so by the time i got there FFR
1630 was still available. lucky for me, as i doubt i would have bought a
car built in one day (FoMoCo notwithstanding :))
some interesting history of my car- it was built inside the shipping crate.
ariel (the builder) crawled in through the trunk opening and built the car,
ship-in-the-bottle style. then the day after he finished it, he drove it
3400 miles in 3 days from LA to new york city. one hell of a shake down
trip. typical build time, 300 hours.
its cool to see people's cars as they are all different and reflect the
tastes of the owners. mine is one of the plainest you will ever see.
anyway... there is FFR spec cobra races this weekend at thunderhill, i think
at 2PM each day. come see ex-autocrosser david borden continue his
dominance of the series in his silver spec racer. please feel free to stop
by and see the cool cars! i will be there all weekend driving my ITS z car.
