If there is any trend from all this feedback it is "Friends don't let friends buy a cheap FFR." Thanks for all your feedback, As I said, work is about to hit hard so waiting until May and checking them out at the Carslisle show might be fine. I am interested in that NJ ERA so I might have to move soon, but we'll see. It is nice to know that there are folks that know this car and feel it is a strong one. I have always felt it is better to buy convertibles (and motorcycles) while the weather stinks, but it might be nice to really have a good look at all of them in one place. Thanks for the PMs as well

I can't believe how hard this obsession has hit. I think my law partners are about at the point where they are going to buy it for me, just so I get back to work and stop checking this stuff out. They may figure they are losing more money from me searching the web at work, rather than billing clients. Also on the upside, I have gotten my wife to agree that she can do no more home renovations until I buy my car. If I put off this puchase for another 20 years, the money saved on stopping her from any new "remodeling" jobs alone might be worthwhile. Thanks again.

It's fun to make fun of FFRs. But seriously, when set up properly they can be fierce competitors on the track -- no doubt about it. The problem is that, once you're used to looking at Cobras, they don't look all that much like Cobras.

Come on out to the shop around 12 noon tomorrow, I'll show you a FFR that on the mechanical side is a 10+ (paint side is now being worked on ) and will give any number of replicas a run for the money. Again, come on out as it appears that you have let others jade you from what may or may not be the right choice for you.

Sorry I missed this opportunity to meet you folks but great weather and a house full of kids lead to some 2 wheel adventures this weekend. Nobody has jaded me on any option. The FFR forum is also quite active and those folks seem like they have great things to say about their cars. Because of that dedicated forum, I think FFR folks are probably underrepresented in this forum; hence, less folks standing up for their car here. There is another local BDR that I want to take a look at, and then the Jersey ERA is on my short list of cars I am interested in. I was not looking at 289 FIA cars, but Marcs looks like one to see as well. Irrespective of brands, most of you folks seem to love your cars and are pretty proud of what you own.

I would like to see your car. And, coincidentially, my daughter hammered my 550i door by throwing open my wife's door in a tight garage, and the paint on the hood appears to be bubbling up for some strange reason, so I have a reason to visit your shop for other reasons. If I can shake loose tommorow from the grind, I will try and swing by your shop.
