2005 Knotts Berry Farm
Replica Show
FFROGs once again
dominate the West Coast's premier event

The Southern
California FFROGs are always happy to get together - Segio, Roger
and Ken "work" the camera |
|
| The Knotts Berry Farm
Replica Show is one of our favorites as it gives us a chance to get out to
the West Coast to see what everyone's been doing for the past year. |
|
 |
We've never been disappointed by
the craftsmen who show up with their Factory Fives every year.
These are some of the nicest people, and annually among the prettiest
builds we see. Judging from among the best cars in the country is
nearly impossible, as anywhere else each car would be an easy show winner.
It's even tougher if you're
trying to compete against a Factory Five at this show - with 60
Factory Five's in our spot, everyone else is just fighting to get
noticed. |

no one has more fun at a car show
than Factory Five customers - no one wins more awards than Russ

Despite rain storms that would
keep only the heartiest of roadster owners inside, a battalion of FFROGs filled the show parking lot. Although less than 50% of
the show field were brave enough to weather the deluge, almost all
of the FFROGs were happy to get out and join the Factory
Five team that made the trek from the other coast. |
