    Wow! What a great car. Visited with Paul yesterday at AutoRama. An exceptional build, better live than in the photos. Looking forward to seeing it in sunlight and being able to spend more time looking it over.

    Detroit Autorama Weekend

    Great weekend show at the Detroit Autorama. Met and talked to a bunch of people, including club and forum members. The new 20th Anniversary Roadster received a ton of very positive comments. The classic shape draws a crowd, with many comments and surprised looks seeing the Coyote in there. The most common question this time around was not of the usual “Is it real?” variety. Factory Five is really well known and most recognize it as a replica in a positive way. But I had a bunch of “How much did it cost?” questions. Tried to respond with ranges and how the build plan can affect the cost.

    All good and a not too bad an ending. First place Handbuilt Sports.



    Was happy our son came up from Texas and helped and hung out with Dad for the weekend. Sharon came for the Sunday festivities including the awards. Good times.



    Everything is back home and the new Roadster parked back next to #7750. Now to collapse for a couple days.
