While visiting Unique Motorcars, Gadsden AL, where I ended up buying my Cobra 427 S/C, during their 2010 homecoming, I was fortunate enough to be around ~40 Unique Cobra 427s and FIAs. The next day, Sat, was an organized drive through the north AL hills to Barber Intl. Speedway museum. And since I signed my purchase order for my Cobra the day before,,,,, I was invited to drive along, even though I didn’t have a Cobra to drive. So I drove my Porsche RS60 Spyder. It was spectacular driving in a ~40 Cobra parade. The cars strung out at least a ¼ mile. People were on their front porches, stopped their lawn movers, standing in front of small shops and just waving with smiles from ear to ear. Now a Porsche is no “cheesy” car, but I guess when compared to a Cobra…. That’s another story? While the Cobra caravan was slowing down to make a right turn at an intersection and people alongside the road watching…. One group of guys said within ear shot of my wife and I…. What the f*** is that car doing there?
That kind of said it all. Next year’s homecoming, I’ll have my own Cobra and can start hearing some of the positive comments mentioned throughout this thread.
