Thanks for all the comments guys...had another fantastic day cruising around yesterday, taking mates and family members out for a ride...any excuse at all to get out in it!! Still smiling like a cheshire cat!!
Bryan - I can understand the anticipation you have waiting for the "green light" from Vic Roads to get out in your Cobra again!
Sambo - Yes, I'm looking forward to getting on a track to stretch my cars legs a little....After a couple of days in my car...I'm under no illusion that my abilities can match it with my cars abilities at the moment, but with time, practice and some tips from those who have better skills, I aim to match it!! I'm taking a few comments from some newly established friends (from the Nationals) very seriously..."...watch that right foot and remember to gently squeeze!!..."
Mitch - Thanks - you're welcome "down under" anytime!
To all my new friends from the Nationals - thanks and I look forward to seeing you all again next year but this time with a car!
Cameron - Wind, sunburn, noise, smiles, grins, more smiles and who cares about the horses!
Harry - Couldn't find any Corvettes or Cobras, but I still had a ball! I'll PM you about catching up with you and the WA club guys!
Richard - yes I posted a month or so ago the following link put together by Mark at Mark's Workshop who installed the motor/gearbox after he gave it it's first dyno tune.

Ben - yes I was expecting a little more difficulty with Rego because as we all know, if any inspector took the letter of each of the rules, they could make it difficult for any Cobra. I was just thankful that the inspectors really were pragmatic and that everything went well! I've heard of so many horror stories and that made me a little nervous I suppose, so I just approached the day with the expectation that they may pick up on a couple of points and give me a list of things to address and that I'd go back again in a couple of weeks...So when the inspector said everything was in order, I simply smiled up at the cobra gods!
Bobby - Good to catch up yesterday, yes, get yours across the line and let's go for a drive!
Merv - I'll try to post a few more shots later this week - having too much fun driving it at the moment!!
Thanks again to all the supportive comments guys!
Regards.....Paul
