Default "The Car Was the One" by Mark Knopfler

Can't post the entire MP3 but Mark Knopfler's (Dire Straits) new song "The car was the one" is likely a must have for all Cobra enthusiasts. On the "Get Lucky" album. Friend of mine sent it to me and said I must have had it written for myself.

Info and a short piece of the sound track is available at http://www.markknopfler.com

Mark Knopfler is simply amazing. You probably recognize some of his stuff with Dire Straits...

Spectacular. Heading to Barnes & Noble right now to pick up some of his work.

Picked it up on Napster. Thanks for the heads up.

"I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track
But the truth is when all was said and done
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
The car was the one - the car was the one"

To cool.

That's a 1954 Stratocaster through a Fender Vibrolux amp. Sorta like a 427 side oiler in a Cobra, a marrriage made in heaven.
