Unhappy Cobra Withdrawl syndrome

I had my hands on two Cobras today.....My old FFR, and a beautiful ERA (no, I do not own it)......2124K was like an old friend as I fired her up for the last time and drove it out of the trailer this AM and parked it next to it's new playmate (a 1970 350/350 corvette convertible) at the new owners home...Kind of sad to see her go, as I spent less time behind the wheel of her than any other Cobra I've owned...........The second car was being picked up at ERA and delivered to my client (in a secret location somewhere here in the tri state area)...A bit on the dirty side from being stored in a DEA warehouse for roughly a year, this soon to be "summer driver" is painted a candy apple red with white stripes and a black interior. Crisp shifting toploader 4spd, 427 side oiler(I think, as I did not get a chance to pop open the hood), the sound in the crisp CT air was like music to my ears. Same goes for the quick trip from my trailer to the garage of it's proud new owner..........Sadly for me, I came home to an empty garage space, and an empty trailer........My heart is palpitating, my throat is dry, my hands are shaking...........I am truly in Cobra withdrawl right now......Have to find myself another one that I can afford to keep for at least the summer...........I had my rum and coke, feel a little more relaxed, but have yet to find a good deal on the web, perhaps some more rum will help with the search......


Sincerely,

Bill "Cobraless in NJ" S.

PS: Know of any really good deals, I'm open to suggestions...............
