I don't know how you cobra guys do it. You must have to have armed security or something.
In a few days we are heading for mexico. It's the last day of nice weather in the forcast, so I wanted to drive the shelby (clone) one last time. I absolutely LOVE driving this car. It's such a blast. Anyway...
I get tons of comments, as I've been driving it around, on weekends and so forth.
I've been tweaking the mechanicals for a few months. The car is still mostly in primer.
I probably spent an hour and a half extra driving home from the gym tonight.
1st a guy stopped me in the parking lot, when I was leaving.. chatted, wanted to see the engine, wanted to listen to it... he was a body man and appreciated my body work and fitment etc etc
next on the way home someone in a mini van started yelling something from his open window (I didn't roll my manual window down)
He followed me into Tim Hortons, blocking off the parking lot with his vehicle and spoke to me for 15 minutes (another ford/shelby/cobra enthusiast) said that it looked great just the way it was (in primer)
The after getting my ice cap, another kid rushed out of the restaurant and said he just wanted to "hear it!" covered all of his dad's vintage ford truck builds.
Whew, then stopped by the auto parts store, hoping to get a motorcraft
oil filter.
On the way out, I think good... no one's around. Just as I'm about to close the door... there's another fan.
"Is that a shelby cobra?"
I straightened him out on that. Explained the differences.
"shouldn't the back end be higher?"
okay, no... did the corner carver vs drag racer explaination
yes it was nice... but a 15 minute drive took 1 1/2 hours
Like I said , I don't know how you cobra guys do it
