The Dallas group had a nice gathering yesterday. We used to have 4 ERA's pretty regular; I seem to be the main one these days. Matt sold his beautiful black one a few months ago, and Don? has a dark green one. Oh, and Tom M. just sold his a few weeks ago. I wonder if a registry would work with such a potential for frequent ownership changes?
I know that ERA takes the chassis number of the owner when you order, and that they only sell to ERA owners, I wonder though if they have good, organized lists. I doubt it, but I don't mean anything offensive by that- just an observation. More the 'old style' shop, write things down on the back of the lunch sack!

How many are there?? Around 1000??

Actually, They have a very good filing system for all of their cars by serial #. All transactions, orders and updates get recorded in its own file and put into a filing cabinet. I stop by the shop after work every now and then to see Peter and Doug. They always make me feel like family

I have been the proud owner of two of ERA's finest, I owned #002 for a number of years and I just purchased #115 a few weeks ago. I haven't had the opportunity to drive it yet except in my driveway and a couple of hundred yards on the road in front of my place but I'm hoping the weather will be good to me this week and I can get it registered and take it out for a long drive. It would be great if we could get a bunch of ERA owners to bring their cars to the London Ohio cobra show in june. I know I'll be there. I tried to upload a pic of the new car here but it's too big, you can check out my gallery if you like.

About what year was your new one manufactured?? 1980-5?

I'm glad to hear they have a file on the cars. Gary (who I bought my car from) told me to be sure they knew I had bought #291.

I'm not sure if I'm going to London this June. I went last year and had a great time, but was thinking of making it every other, or every few years. Hard to do it all. (I go to Tulsa/mid-america in June, too)

I would be more inclined to go to London, though, if I thought we were forming a 'charter reunion' group for ERA.
