    FFR Open House was a great place to catch up.

    Hello all
    I just wanted to say what a great time I had at the FFR open house.
    It was nice to take a day off and just chill while talking with friends.
    My wife and I were walking the show and even had a few guys stop and thank me for helping them out.
    Now most know I am NOT great with names But cars I remember.
    anyways I guess These guys have had issues in the past on their builds and just needed a little 1 on 1
    to narrow down what they already knew. This I can do. I love talking cars and builds. Its not only my living, but
    my hobby as well.
    I feel I live a blessed life to have such a loving family, and extended family also.
    I have met many wonderful people through this hobby. More than any one man deserves.
    So to close

    Thanks FFR, and the FFR employees for providing a place for so many good people to meet.

    Thanks to all the people who took the time to just say Hi.

    I look forward to seeing many of you in the future at the next event, where ever that may be.

    Thompson speedway is next. Sorry not the LCS no Time for them all. But say Hi to MAtty my son
    he will be at the LCS.
    He will be the kid in a orange MGB GT. Stop him and say hi it just so happens he loves cars to.

    Mark,

    The Traveling Builder is your title but you could also be known as a Factor Five Ambassador, Coupe guru, all around Great Guy, Accessory to Dreams. I could go on and on ...

    The Factory Five family/community is a great "happening" because of guys like you. You and your family are much appreciated.

    I will be sure to hook up with Matt and Nate at LCS. Look forward to seeing you at Road Atlanta for the East Coast Championships in late August.

    Tell Matty that I'd be happy to have him serve as my co-pilot again for the drive into London:



    Cheers,

    Hey Mark-

    Let's see a picture of that MGB GT. I had an orange MGB and still hate the fact that I sold it. Although it turned into an engagement ring, and that purchase was my smartest!!

    I look forward to seeing you at one of the shows soon Mark.

    Regards,

    Steve

    Mark - Not sure you guys realize this, but to us mere mortals you guys are celebrities. You've been on TV shows building cars!

    You might need to work on your primadona routine a bit though, you are too good at being a nice guy to be a celebrity.
