This all really got started for me around 2003-2004. My wife and I were planning for our wedding and we merged finances. That is when we decided to open the replica savings account. We've been saving ever since, and slowly but surely we're getting closer.
To begin my quest I started researching online for replica manufacturers. Of the many options available I initially liked the Unique Motorcars replica, then I found the ERA site and it's wealth of information and thought that would be a great option. Finally I found my self looking into the Factory Five Roadster.
Factory Five really does seem to be the best bang for the buck in my opinion. The fact that there are companies making many aftermarket parts and an entire forum devoted to Factory Five really made it the right option for me.
I just got the Factory Five MKIV manual for Christmas, and this is where the adventure really begins...
