How did you ever decide? flip a 3 sided coin? Good luck on the sale and the coupe build.

Hi Chris,

I have five+ years in the Unique...Blood, Sweat and Tears, I looks and runs great and most important my wife likes it better. I picked it up in Redding Friday night and over the weekend put 600 miles on the new engine. The SPF is a great car it just that the Unique feels like it belongs as part of the family.

Her feeling is that this one is our car and the coupe will simply fill out the stable...twins. We have twin daughters and that is how she sees the coupe and the roadster equal but different.

Who am I to argue with that kind of support from my wife.

I saw your coupe setting at DV's shop last Friday. He almost has it done!

Just kidding, you know the status!

It was funny at the fling when they called you and got no answer. A cry went up in the croud "DRAW ANOTHER". DV wouldn't do it. He is an honest guy of his word. If he wasn't, it might be setting in my garage!

Good luck with the sale. Love my Unique as well.

Tony, how about I trade you SPF 1249, this is the factory light weight race model (less some fiberglass and suspention parts) and some vitamins for #343.

Hi Joe,

Done deal I'll take the light weight model with replacement parts that are in transit from Cape Town and call it square. No need to include the vitamins or the new cam
