Join Factory Five's Sally B. for Breakfast in Florida This Thursday

Posted on April 1, 2014 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

As many of you are aware, our winter up here in New England seemed like it was never going to end. So when the 1st day of Spring finally arrived, we were so ready for warm weather and lots of sunshine. We’ll, we got some sunshine but if the high 50s was all we were going to get then my trip down to the Sunshine State couldn’t have come fast enough.

We’re all excited for the warmer weather. Here’s a shot of the line of Roadsters pulling in to Open House. Sally gets an early taste of warmer weather in a trip to Florida.

So off to The Villages I went (with a huge smile) to visit family and I thought while I was here, I’d love to meet any Factory Five Racing customers that are in the area. As a company, we don’t get many opportunities to travel down south so I’m ready to snap some great photos of customers with their beautiful cars and hear the always entertaining stories that go along with every FFR build. And if okay with everyone I’d like to post the photos and stories on our website to share with the rest of the FFR community.

I look forward to meeting those of you that can make it this Thursday at 9:00 AM at The Polo Fields. See you soon!
