The deal is done!

The car is mine!

A few photos...

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.

It's a Formula Ford. Not really competitive at with the best in the
class, but good enough for regional racing.

Thanks. Jusst read up on it. Looks like a fun and fairly reasonable

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
