Tony:
I was starting to feel bad for you, when you remind me you substituted the Cobra by a GT40 with the Gulf scheme  I love the GT40.
You now, I warned my wife (of only 12 years, but she will yell you those are 12 LOOOONG years) about the "hardships" of Cobra ownership months before i ordered. She was in disbelief that I would want such a "difficult" car as my dream sports car (she always figured I would go the Ferrari/Porsche way). Anyways, it did the trick, because when she first met the car, she was not stunned. Today, we ride together to the local coffee shop, and stuff, and she knows not to put make up on, or do her hair, etc.  As a matter of fact, I am having Olthoff Racing build a set of pedal extensions so that my wife can reach them, as she wants to drive the car.
Thanks for sharing your reasons for selling the Cobra. And the kind comments on my pictures, I'd love to take full credit, but Photo Bucket allowed me to alter my original pictures  I DO take tons of pictures and have invested on some really good lenses 
Mr. Real 1:
I did not think your comments had any bad connotations in them! I am very humbled that you took the time to look at the pics, and gather you enjoyed them, and that's all I wanted. BTW Wasn't it your son who made a sweet video of your car with the infamous and highly discussed Aerosmith song on the background? That's creativity 
Oh, and any Cobra driver that uses driving gloves can drive my car anytime I use a pair of vintage (repro) grand prix gloves, and I totally dig them...
Cheers!

Not quite, it's the 2006 Ford GT, not a GT40. The GT40 wouldn't have passed muster either. The Ford GT has regular three point seat belts (although I have a set of harnesses for track use), air conditioning and a place to plug an iPod into.

Tuto: I like the roll bar and stripes you did. Tastefully done and different. In a sea of blues and reds with the obligatory standard white LeMans stripes it's nice to see something new and different. I did enjoy the pics.
Yes, that was my son who made the video. He complained I really didn't do anything exciting for the vid. I guess I'm getting old. If you like pics and videos you should also check out my sons automobile blog on Facebook Automotive Erotica.
Driving gloves are standard fare when you drive a Cobra. Anyone who's seen Gumball Rally knows that. ; )
It's also nice to know my Cobra is not the only one with a name!

Yep, beige and black -- you just can't beat 'em. Had you painted your car with those colors, your wife would be dancing to a different tune.  |

You may be right especially if I had dual roll bars.

I named mine Steve McQueen. I think my Kirkham's value tripled overnight. |

I dunno, LIGHTNING MCQUEEN may be even more enticing to the market |
