Although I haven't driven my "Cobra" much in the past 3 years due to it undergoing major changes I look forward to getting it back in the next week or so.

Here in Cape Town we have some of the best day or overnight Cobra drives in the world in good weather, what with the Cape Point route around the Peninsula via Chapmans Peak Drive, trips through the Vineyards in the Stellenbosch and Paarl area, the wheat fields of Malmesbury, the four passes route through Franschhoek, the trip from Gordons Bay to Hermanus via Cape Hangklip and back via the Botriver and Sir Lowrys passes, a blast through the Du Toits Kloof Tunnel (who can resist dropping a gear and a brief bit of acceleration to hear the exhaust echo) to Ceres and back via Baines Kloof Pass and so many more - and all easy day trips of less than 300 km with many world class restaurants on the way. Although traffic can be a problem over the weekends one of the advantages of being part time retired is weekdays are your oyster.

I am REALLY looking forward to getting the car back.
