Sten and Dan drove in from Illinois in Sten's Factory Five Roadster! Sten (forum handle is Steno) picked up his Factory Five kit on Memorial Day exactly 10 years ago! Right now, they were conscripted to help sort parts for the massive Scratch & Dent sale tomorrow. So remember, if you show up to the Factory Five Open House early, you end up working! Hope to see you all tomorrow.

After 1,100 miles, Sten is entitled to brag about his ride, although he accused Dan for wanting to stop too many times on the way for donuts.

Factory Five customer Jim M. and his wife Suzie from Virginia arrived this morning to pick-up their Type 65 Coupe while the Factory Five crew is busy preparing for Open House tomorrow.

Hi Sten :D

Hi HOTROD :D

Man, seeing you there is really making me regret my decision not to join you :( ...even if Mr. Smithers had put me to work ;)

Have a good time, a safe journey back home and I'll see you in a couple of weeks for our trip to the London Show!

Wow - I can say I knew Sten way back when... maybe when he gets back here to the flatlands, I can get him to sign my dash!!!

Well I'm officially jealous seeing the preparation and guys arriving for Open House. Last year was our first, and we enjoyed it very much. We plan to be there next year with the completed Anniversary Roadster. Maybe I'll even get a hot dog this time. :p Have a great time everyone.

My goal is to be there next year, but until then a wrenching I will go.
Wrenching in the garage that is.
Have A Great Time All!
