My Grandmother always said that, "It's better to be silent and thought a fool, than speak and remove the doubt"......Oh well, that was before the internet.

There I was, alone in the garage nearing the end of my 11 year build. I had saved the install of my Halon push cable for the very end, to avoid an accidental discharge.

The car had been together prior to paint, this was the final assembly after paint for a long planned trip to wine country via Sears Point raceway (to drive Audi's, not the Cobra). As I pushed the cable home, safety clip in place, I experienced the wallet draining hiss of Halon spraying into the engine compartment and trunk. The good news is that, just as advertised, Halon leaves no residue. It did freeze a portion of my nice new Wilton Wool trunk carpet, but it defrosted nicely. We made the trip on time and all is well, except maybe my wallet and ego.
