Hi David & Laura, Thank you for the warm welcome. I came upon my Figaro quite by happenstance. In 1991 I had read an article on the Figaro and was simply taken by the design and execution of the little car. I clipped the article and had held on to it for these many years. I was home watching TV one lazy afternoon and happened to see a Traveler's Insurance commercial. It showed a young woman perched atop the hood of an Emerald Green Figaro. When I saw it, I immediately Googled the web looking for images of the auto. Not only did I find photos, but, lo and behold, I found a Fig for sale here in Dallas, TX! After exchanging emails with the owner, I made arrangements to see the Lapis Grey beauty. It was love at first sight--I couldn't really believe I was seeing one "in person" after admiring it in a magazine some eighteen years earlier. I was not able to drive it for another few days, but I kept driving by and looking at it every chance I got. By the time I wasable to actually drive the vehicle, I was totally hooked. We made the deal in December 2008, and I immediately put it in the garage for some extensive engine repair as I was not sure of the vehicle's service history. I took possession last month just in time for the warm days of spring! My partner, Robert, and I have had a blast running the streets of Dallas. In a city that has luxury vehicles of every description, you would not believe the attention the little Fig garners (or maybe you do)! I had envisioned using the car only on occasion, but now I find that we look for any excuse to get the Fig and take it out for a spin. I will be taking it to a local car club tomorrow evening for its debut at their monthly meeting. I have heard rumors that there may be one other Fig in the State other than the one you have listed in your Register. I know there are several in Canada and I can't help but feel some will eventually trickle down to the US. Inthe meantime, I am loving every minute spent with my lovely little Figaro!Kindest regards,Michael
