Hey,
Is anyone going to be at Blackhawk farms this weekend?
I'm thinking about bundling up and making the ride, but only if dry. I can handle cold... but not when soaked to the bones.
Later,
Chris

Yuck, Saturday appears to be low 40's and rain. Count me out for that day. As we get a little closer though, if Sunday looks better I may make the trip down.

Hi, sorry to jump into your thread. I have a Mk IV Roadster and in a suburb of Chicago. Would really like to met up with other Factory Five guys. Licensed in 2016. I know weather is a factor now but might be a nice day or two left. Greg
If Sunday doesn’t look too bad I could bundle up and take a spin!

Greg, where are you? I’m sure we can work something out. Perhaps a Garage get together!

Late as usual. I'm in Elkhorn. Been working on my donor for too long but almost done with it. Just need to r move the engine and trans. Hard to find time. I plan on ordering an MK4 early next year or the next 50/50 sale.It is good to see so many builders in the area. I can't at enough good things about going to the build school. Good time. Because I'm going the donor route, the instructors we're really good about pointing out differences vs a complete build. The next time you all get together,I'd like to join in the fun. I ran into Sten in OshKosh this summer at the EAA. At the FFR truck displaying his roadster. Nice car. Poop
Sorry gents, I'm going to pass on tomorrow (Sunday) at Blackhawk. Hoping for at least one more decent day for a bit of a drive. My FFR is tucked away at the shop, no longer at home, but it's not yet ready to be put away for winter storage.
Later,
Chris

Brrrr!!! It was a cold day at 39* but I was able to put on 140 miles today. I was mostly in my snowmobile gear but it only helped a little. I don't run warm-weather tires which would be scary in these temps, but my Cooper Cobras were even harder than usual. Like greased butter when you get on the skinny pedal.
I'm hoping for at least one more day but only if it gets into the 50's I think. Too cold today....

I would like to thank Greenbaygreg for showing me his roadster on Saturday.
I am extremely impressed with his meticulous attention to detail.
I had my first ride in a Factory Five car. Even better, he let me drive it!!! You are a very trusting person.
It rode very nice, better than I thought it would. I loved the steering feel.
Building a mk4 is now set in stone.
I am looking forward to seeing some other builds.
Thanks again Greenbaygreg,
Jim
I have to admit I chickened out today! I took my Sonata out for a couple of errands and ate chili! Seemed like a chili kind of day.

Thanks Jim. Nice meeting you also. Any questions you have my cell. Greg
