I thought I'd have the new grey Cobra ready to take to the 2009 nationals...
then it was DEFINATELY going to be ready for the 2010...
then the 2011 Nationals came and went....
along with the 2012 Nationals....
So...after all that...I HAD to drive it down there this year.
I used to love driving the Cobra (the Bumblebee) to the Nats,driving the arse off it all weekend, and packing it up and driving it home again,
So just driving the new one there and back is no biggy.
And, yes...Ronny "the butler" Ford will again get the chance to beat me in my own car..but he has the job of towing it.(the race car)
He pretends like he's holding back each time to be polite to the owner of the car, but last year when he managed a 1m 5.80s lap, against my best of a
1m 5.97s lap there was "crowing a plenty".
I'm certainly still hearing about the MASSIVE thrashing he handed out...and my argument that 17/100ths is not a lot , gets laughed down...he points out that 17 anythings...is a big number!!
We'll swap around a bit on the trip down to Goulburn...his brand new luxurious Range Rover is not a bad support vehicle.....and if it starts pissing down like the last 6 years on this trip...it's my turn in the RR.
Not long now.
Cheers
