Michigan here we come....

A new job in Traverse City MI means a relocation from Houston. So much to think about and organize it's not funny but of course the question of where are the nearest FFR owners!!!

Will be looking for advice on the state laws when it comes time to re-title the roadster in MI so if you are living in the area please drop me a message.

Cheers, John

John, John, John...like I told Monique, I can store the roadster right next to mine. It's not going to like the cold weather.

Welcome to the mitten! There must be somebody up there with a Factory Five. There are a few of us in the Lansing area, and several in the Detroit area. They all come to you eventually...as all roads to fall color tours lead to Traverse City it seems.

The Traverse City area is very nice, and I'm sure you'll adjust quickly to being a troll. Embrace four seasons and enjoy!

Send me a PM we have several members up there. I can give you their names and emails and you can try and contact them.

On the moving note, it is one of the most bueatiful areas in the country up there.
I am very envyous.
Not too bad for wine country either.
Welcome to the state.

Couldn't agree more. One of the most beautiful parts of the state, and the country for that matter. Sleeping Bear Dunes, just a few miles away, was recently recognized as one of the best. Just hope you're in for real winters, and that you like snow. Huge climate difference from Houston! (Today's understatement.) The locals learn to embrace the winter and enjoy winter sports.

I can't say how many FFR owners there are up there, but a number of us down here in the SE corner. You will find the Michigan laws are pretty friendly toward specialty cars like ours. You shouldn't have any big issues getting it titled and on the road.
