Hello,

Perhaps some of you have seen this video on Winding Road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01xWrt2all8 This is the car I just picked up Saturday night, which is also to say, I can't take credit for building it, but I am a completely hopeless gearhead nonetheless. :cool: I attached a pic as well taking it to breakfast yesterday. I'm simply blown away how much fun it is.

One of the big draws, other than it is a fantastic car, is the support surrounding Factory Five. This looks like a great forum, I belong to similar forums for Triumph and Ducati motorcycles. My strategy with a new vehicle is oh-so simple - find people that know more than you.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi - haven't even figured out how to do a signature or avatar yet (but will).

Best,

Robert
Royal Oak, MI

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new ride! Maybe you know this already, but there are a bunch of us here in the SE Michigan area part of the Great Lakes Cobra Club. The club has lots of activities including (of course) the Woodward Dream Cruise. You're welcome to join us. All brands are welcome, and there are a number of Factory Five's around. I have a Mk3 and Mk4 in my garage just up the road from you in Lake Orion.
