This months C.O.M. belongs to Dan Turnbull. This from Dan's submittal:
I purchased my FFR MarkII, # 4402, from Chris Loubier of I-Squared Engineeering. This was his test and show car. I was told I should get my cobra by my wife on our 16th anniversary. Shelley had taken me to FastLane Cars and I was told to pick one from what they had in stock. Unfortunately I couldn’t find one that just said “Buy Me!”.
I found the car on the FFCobra forum and 2 weeks later I flew to Pheonix Arizona to look at the car. The car is painted a 2004 BMW Sterling Grey with BMW Black Sapphire Stripes and has dual chrome rollbars. As soon as I saw the car I knew if I could, I wanted to own it.
The car has many additional features to make it more comfortable for a large framed individual. I took delivery of the car on Aug 28th, 2008 and I’ve logged over 3,000 mile so far.
