My wife has always indulged me when it comes to cars. Whenever I start talking about cars, my wife shakes her head and says “you’ve got the bug.”

In the early 80’s, I built and raced a G Production MG Midget in SCCA's San Francisco region.

In the early 90's, I raced an ITC Class Datsun 510. I ended up having a spectacular crash coming down the back stretch at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma. I flipped the car multiple times. Luckily I walked away without a scratch, but came to the realization that unless I had more money than I knew what to do with, my racing days were over.

Two of my dream cars have always been the Porsche Speedster and the Cobra. In the late 90’s, I decided I really wanted a Speedster Replica, so I bought one from a guy in Orange County. The car was beautiful and fun to drive, but it was it gutless so I only kept it for a few years.

Well, fast forward a couple of years and the “bug has bitten” again. This time the Cobra Bug is biting at my wallet.....and I can’t wait!!
