    Northern Illinois - Southern Wisconsin FFR Owners Sound-Off

    Blackberry Township, IL (just west of Geneva/Batavia) here.

    Roadster is just a roller still, but hopefully go-karting this summer.
    Later,

    Lee - good to see you over here at FFRforums - thanks for the ride a couple of weeks ago and I hope all is well with your car after the recent dyno tuning.
    Later,

    I live in Zion just off Sheridan road. Stan it may have been your Cobra that snake bit me, I heard one rolling down the road past the restaurant I was in with a friend and went to the front window and watched and listened to the nice sounds. May never be able to afford but sure hope I could. Good to know there are some in the area.. Wayne

    Illinois member/owners - any issues or information to know regarding registering build cars in IL? Read thread on WI (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...s-in-Wisconsin) and Hawaii registration process and any insight would be helpful. [posting to an old thread, I didn't see a more recent IL thread]. Kevin

    La Crosse, Wisconsin. I get out cruising as often as I am able. PM me if a group meets up. There are a few of us in this area - so I can be the contact person for those guys.
