I hesitated to post this in the Newbies section as I'm really not "new" to this.
I was first infected with a different strain of the madness back in 1982 when I built my Classic Roadsters Ltd. Duchess MG TD.
I was there when Al brought those first few Speedster guys to Carlisle to join the New Jersey Replicar Club party.
While the NJRC withered away, I was able to watch and participate while the SOG group grew exponentially.
With Schu, my TD and I were the first TDs welcomed into the group (maybe because they have German VW hearts?)
Well....the madness is indeed infectious. And yesterday I became the proud adoptive parent to a 2005 Intermeccanica Roadster.
The artificial light does not do the car justice.
She's a 2005 build with only 2800 miles on her (the last 25 being my test drive yesterday!!). 1776, with a freeway flyer.
A little of her story...
Built for Jacob (lastname omitted), a retired gentleman on Long Island NY. It appears Jacob didn't drive it much further than the golf course. In June 2013, the car was sold to a retired doctor in Wyoming. Dr. Lou had had a roadster in his youth. But soon realized he had a few too many years of life experience under his belt and no longer enjoyed the roadster experience! The good doctor sent the car back to Intermeccanica US in Southfield MI to be sold.
So...as of Feb 15, the practically new car has a new owner. And once mother nature stops dumping all this white stuff on us, I'll be going back to Southfield to drive her home.
