Six Factory Fives Customers Meet for Mid-Fall Cruise

Factory Five customer Patrick W. sent us some photos of a cruise he went on with some fellow Factory Five Roadster owners last week.

What was dubbed the “Unofficial End of the Driving Season” cruise, six Factory Five owners met up in Kent, CT then headed north to Great Barrington, MA for a fun day of driving and some lunch. A similar event happened last year as a bunch of customers took a ride to the Mill Brook Winery in Millbrook, NY.

The group included customers:

Pat & Jean, FFR Mark I #2302K Silver/ grey stripes Supercharged 30,2 New Fairfield, CT
Pat & Renee W., FFR Mark III #4630RD Jaguar Racing Green/ sliver stripes ’01 Explorer 302, East Greenbush, NY
Bob S., Solid Red w yellow team stripes
Dave M., FFR Mark III #5902 Ford Performance White w/ True Blue Metalic stripes 5.0, Danbury, CT
Dave & Tiffany, FFR Mark III Grey / black stripes 347, Oxford, CT
Carl J., FFR Mark II # 4857K Fiji Blue with white stripes 5.0, Danbury, CT

Pat concluded his e-mail by noting that he put about 170 miles on the Roadster making sure that he took the least direct route possible. Pat’s not a big car show guy, but really enjoys getting together with fellow owners for a nice ride.

Thanks for sharing this great story and photos, Pat! Hope you get a few more driving weather days before the year ends.
