Still a few of us lurking, but not many.

[size=14]Hello everyone.  I just joined after looking at the website and lurking around the forum.  I must say, the Hurricane Cobra is a very nice looking car and you guys are most polite. I used to have a FFR Cobra with a 503 BBF.  Now I have a GT40 Mk1.  Some of you know me from the FFRCobra forum.  I hope I'm welcome here.

Cheers

I knew it was just a matter of time for you to be seduced by HM  

Hey Larry,

  I agree, it's not the car company or even the owners group that is at fault, just some of the narrow minded owners (in any ownership circle, and I not just kit cars) that give everyone else a black eye with incidents like that one. Oh well, there are car people, and then there are car enthusiasts, we know which one they were and which one I am...Enough said on that as it is like beating a dead horse.

  I appreciate your offer in regards to questions, don't think I'll be buying anything soon as I'm stretched and tapped out due to an impending move out of NJ....Signed a lease on a 10,000sq/ft building last Thursday morning for my MAACO center out near Klayfish (Steve), that night I listed my house for sale and sold it less than 48 hours later to the first couple who came in to see it. Put an offer in on a home this past Wednesday and it was accepted yesterday. Close on this house on the 15th of August, close on the new one on the 17th...I start training classes on the 30th of this month and will be gone for the month of August. Hopefully open by the 15th of September if my new paint booth arrives in time. between now and then I've got a ton of things to get done so that my wife and son have it a little easier than they think they will............So for at least the next 6-12 months, I do not see any toys in my immediate future........

Well said Bill.

Larry,

  As a staunch, long time supporter of FFR as a company (how many other people have Dave Smith's personal contact numbers in their cell phone   ), I am amazed at some of the bashing that takes place. I had a recent experience in Penn while driving a CSX3000 series car where a "pack" of replica owners degraded themselves in public, again I just cannot fathom this type of mentality. it's not a certain brand owners group, just a select few owners who drag everyone else down with their actions. So far, the Hurricane owners groups seems to not fallen into that same quagmire, and again I commend you guys as a class act that likes to keep an open mind to everyones opinions. Even if those opinions differ from your own. I'll stop rambling now as I'm buried in moving and business paperwork, I will however ask, aren't we all just car guys, can't we appreciate each and every one of them for what they are and not have to put down one car or another just to make our personal choices more acceptable to our own ego(s)?

Again, everyone who reads this, keep up the great work, while I've yet to owned a Hurricane, you never know what the future might bring.

Malcom,

   Since i have not yet owned a Hurricane I cannot tell you how they ride or handle differently, I can however tell you that the hype you here about round tube vs square tube and one chassis design over another is 85% talk and 15% factual. Does Hurricane make a nice product, yup, you bet, does FFR, again, yup, you bet. Does one body shape look more accurate than the other, yes, Hurricane wins this one hands down. Does the tub vs pop riveted aluminum panels matter, only to a select few as neither offers any advantage (other than a lack of air leakage) over the other. I believe the biggest advantage to owning one or the other is the group of owners and their attitude(s). Take a look at the responses you have received on the various forums and decide for yourself which is more of the class act over the other. You can then go from there.

Here is wishing you the best on whatever decision you personally decide on.
