    Let me introduce myself

    Hello all,

    I have attended the LCS since 2007 and knew early on that a FFR roadster would be in my future. I only hear good things of FFR and will be visiting their facility in August. I planned a vacation around a factory tour........ I am learning much from this forum and enjoy the comraderie of all you FIVERS!

    Welcome - if you're even remotely thinking about getting into one of these, the factory tour will push you over the top. The facilities, professionalism, and capital outlay are all very, very impressive; all of which shows in the products they turn out.
    Later,

    Greetings. I haven't made it to the factory yet (its on my bucket list), but meeting Dave Smith, his crew, and 30+ more-than-satisfied owners at an F5 event in Tampa last year, a week before my delivery, confirmed my belief I had made the right choice. And with my roadster finished (well, they're never really finished, are they?), I have absolutely no regrets. Just take your checkbook, planning a vacation around a factory tour, you know you're gonna do it anyway.

    Chris,
    Even though I've seen all the videos - I still want to go on the factory tour. It's all part of the process!

    Riptide Motorsports,

    Nice collection of toys. I don't think I should list my 1949 ferguson tractor, Bad Boy zero turn, and my Hyundai Sonata. Coupes are cool!

    Alan,

    Unfortunately, I have a bucket list of things I must finish that pertain to the roadster.(notice the signature) I have my priorities - and eating every day is over rated! N.E.Ohio weather will not permit year round driving like you get!!!

    Dave,

    I look forward to visiting your factory in August. The passion FFR has for cars carries over to your customers; they swear by you, your company, and your cars.

    P.S. Will relocate to Wareham and work for roadster parts!!
