B&B and LA Exotics owners club!

[Rick Young]

I built an LAExotics in 1994 and now have 40k miles on it. It was an easy car to build and has been a pleasure to drive. We have taken it on vacations to Idaho and Wyoming, from Morro Bay, CA., on six occations, about 1800 miles round trip.

We also go to several local shows and the three hand crafted shows, here in the west, as often as we can. I have been to Knott's every year since I built the car and have several trophies to preserve the memory.

We have some cool mornings, with the marine layer, here on the central coast, and have encountered just about all the weather you might expect out here in the west. In order to enjoy the trips I designed and built a folding top for my car. That has become my retirement hobby of late.

I have a vinyl cover and hard plastic windows that do keep the bad stuff out. There are no body modifications to install the top, it takes up no trunk space (a definite plus on long trips) and it is easy to put up or down.

Give me an e-mail response if there is any interest in this sort of thing. I have had several owners of FFR kits interested but, due to the slight differences in the body, in order to build a top that fits an FFR I need one in my garage. I really don't want to sell my LAE but I may have to in order to satisfy my hobby needs.
