Going to visit IM this weekend...

Is there anything I should make a point to do other than check out Henry's cars and decide what colors, engine and options to get??

Thanks, Scott

Find out if the prices given are real prices or is it like going to the Ford dealer "Would'ya take..." I suspect they are real and firm.

I received information recently on pricing, and I noticed that the price and standard features had changed as compared to just 4 months ago. Yes it would be interesting to know how much your car costs the way you option it, and if you get any price brake on some of the costs. Also it would be interesting to know what is meant by the options price of (original style front trunk modification to fit full size spare or extra luggage space, includes manual rack and pinion steering ) then it says NOT APPLICABLE WITH A/C......what do they mean by this: that the mod is part of A/C mod or does it not work together? I was going to call henry and ask, but I hate to bother him until I'm a little closer to ordering date.

Also is this option really necessary and why? People on this forum could answer this question....I wonder how hard it is to buy a replacement tire when the one on the car is damaged. Wouldn't just about any tire place carry a tire that size? I do know that some people like the extra space and weight up front.

The price is the price is the price... ya cannah dicker, laddie.

While you're there please check out the paint job on my Speedster and tell me how it looks here on the forum - it should be back at IM from the paint shop sometime this week.

I suspect the "N/A with A/C" for the original requested modificaztions IM came up with for my first car (convertible "D") is due to the fact that the A/C condensor is located up front and impinges on that space. The spare tire and rack and pinion mods seem to have become a standard option.

I would guess the change in price is a result of the US dollar vs. the Canadian dollar. Last year you could get a Canadian buck and a half for every US dollar; in June it hit bottom at about 1.35; it's now creeping up again.

Now, why would I be watching those numbers...?

George, I will definitely ask and check it out. What color am I looking for??

Scott, it will be "saphir silver", a VW color which is silver with just a hint of blue overtones. I picked that color because it appears to have very nice tonal gradations from light to shadow and should work very well to enhance Speedster body contours.

PLus, it will go with his silver pompadour.

Funny thing, here I am at 65 and my hair is still blonde with the same amount of gray I had when I was 20. Go figure...

Sorry, no pompador, it's usually falling in my eyes.
