The deal is done!
The car is mine!
A few photos... <http://www.flickr.com/photos/23487697@N07/sets/72157631147132016/> It took most of the day--the previous owner, Scott, is a nice guy, but fairly chatty--but from starting out at U-Haul at 8am, I had the car in its new home and the truck and trailer back by about 5pm. Now, it's all about getting organized--making a list of the hundreds of little jobs that will need to be done between now and the first race of next season... ....but I'll probably take one day to bask in just having it. :-) -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling four feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |

Not really competitive at with the best in the class, but good enough for regional racing. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling four feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |

Looks like a fun and fairly reasonable > way to get into the racing gamre. > > Harry K That's what I thought when I saw the car. Frankly, I wasn't really looking to buy a Formula Ford, but after talking to a bunch of folks, I realized the deal was really good. It's going to be a challenge to learn everything I need to know about the care and feeding of an open wheel race car, but I'm really looking forward to the experience... ....especially the racing part. :-D -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling four feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |
