Craig,
It's all about fun. I was in Sydney in 1966. I was treated like a
prince. The Aussie atittude is incredible. And the hospitality
is unbeleivable. It has always stuck in my mind about their
carefree approach to things. I couldn't buy a drink or a
meal while I was there.
Mikie, the Mrs. may have to fly to the event. She was glad to
let Craig drive it. She can't push the clutch in because it's so
strong. Craig, I hope it's not your left knee and if it
is I hope it is well enough to use the clutch. It's a compitetion
type and does require a little more effort to get it down.
There are certain sections of old route 66 that is still intact
right next to I-40 that goes for miles. Mostly in New Mexico
and Texas.
You surely will enjoy this trip. I have made this trip three
times in a Cobra and dozens of times in other vehicles. I
see something new every trip.
Last year Me and Mike Foss had one of the best times you
could have on the road. We would stop at a drive in and get
a couple sandwiches to go then we would find a rest area or park and eat our lunch. It never fails that the cars drew attention.
People were getting out cameras and asking if they could
take their picture next to the car. Mike even let some
sit in his. (They liked his color better)
Every gas station and rest stop ensued a conversation about
the Cobras. So you better learn all you can about the car
cause if you're diving it then you get to answer all the
questions. And my car ain't easy to explain !
All of us Arizona Cobra guys can't wait to meet you and
show you a good time. We're thrilled that you are coming
along.
Hersh
