As I understand it, they expect to finish up the silver one on the lift this week.

Ray,
By the time I left on Friday afternoon, the silver FIA on the lift was just about ready to start up. I believe the owner was scheduled to pick it up this week ... anybody know who's car it is?
Are you next on the lift ???

As I understand it, the blue and white one that is next to the lift will be #1 on the list and mine is right behind...
Actually, when you were by Jeff's car by the front door, you may have tripped over my engine.

There were a couple of motors in the assembly area, each carefully covered with a plastic sheet ... just waiting to be installed ... one of those must be yours!

Wow! What a great day!
On a whim, I drove up to ERA today to spend some quality time with my new baby and discuss one or two things with the ERA pros.
As luck would have it, Phil, aka fastd, pulled up in a cab not long after I got there, to pick up his silver 289FIA and drive it home to North Carolina. We had a great time comparing notes, etc. Before Phil headed out, he asked me if I'd like to "go for a ride". Well, friends, the ERA is one hell of a car!! I'd never ridden in an ERA before, and was concerned about comfort, quality of ride, etc., and was genuinely surprised by how tight and smooth the car is. My Mercedes felt all sloppy all the way home! I think I'm putting a lot more miles on this beast than I anticipated!
Here is a pic of fastd's 289FIA:
I shot some better pics of my car:

Jeff,
FYI, I just got in to North Carolina at 11:58 pm; 604 miles in just under 10 hours. Great drive; could have gone a couple of more hours.
Thanks again for lunch.
Regards,
Fastd

That's great! Glad you didn't get hung up in traffic. Thanks again for the ride: yours is one beautiful car!
