Can anyone direct me to someone in my area that has a Factory Five MK3 or 4? I took a tour of FF this past weekend and was impressed with how clean the place was. I've just about made up my mind on a purchase of a MK4, but wanted to talk with someone who owns/drives one. any info would help. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of builds in Texas, but being close (Texas is BIG) may be another thing.

Thanks Doug! I'm so very close to pulling the trigger on an MK4, but I need to talk with a few guys in my area that have built one, and hopefully get a ride in one before I pull the trigger. Yes Texas is big, but I think / hope I can find someone in my area, The Woodlands Texas….. north of Houston proper, and just south of Conroe Texas. I live in between Spring Texas and Conroe Texas.

I'm in Pearland. I've built a number of roadsters over the years. Just finished a Mark IV for a guy in Pearland and there's a Mark III that I built for a guy in Clear Lake. I can get you their contact info and maybe they will give you a ride. I have a heavily modified Mark II and a new Coupe in the garage now and have just taken on a consulting job on a 33. You are more than welcome to stop by some time.

Tom, if it's easier you can text/call me on my cell 302-983-1954
I'm in The Woodlands, in Creekside Park. I have a MKII, that you are more than willing to check out. Of course, my build probably isn't near as good as Tom's...he's built 20 or so, LOL. There are actually quite a few FFR's in the Houston area.
PM me if interested.

After 11am on the weekends work best. Give me a call and we can set something up. (713) 392-6656.
Rob's being modest, he has a very nice Roadster and has had plenty of time to play with it, something I don't get to do.
Thanks Michael!
I'll send you a text, and we'll figure out when I can swing by.

You'd be welcome to see mine. I live down in League City. But if you hookup with Tom, you'll get all the info you need. You should also join the Yahoo Houston Cobra Club and you'll see all the posts from owners in this area. It's a very informal group....no rules, no dues, just car guys who like to get together.

I'll make note of the phone number correction. I'm off from midday the 17th thru the 25th. I'll give you a ring and perhaps we can meet…….thanks for all the help. I'm torn between the FFR and the BD cars both have very strong and weak points. Again, thanks….I'll be in touch.
