I love a lot of the cars here. When I wanted something different than a Cobra I decided to build my own Cheetah Tribute. Tribute because my car is not a replica. I tried to incorporate the the styling of the Cheetah with my ideas of how I wanted it.
- Dedicated Space frame. The pics are of a new frame that I'm finishing up. (the roll bar and shocks are for mock up)
-freshened LS1 with Tremec TKX
- 52% rear weight
- 1900lbs
- MGB windshield
The pictures of the red car are of one that I built a couple of years ago. It drives great. It has a mild SBC and Richmond 4 speed. I'm building the new one with the upgraded drivetrain. I'll finish it to a higher standard with nice paint and interior. The goal is to make a removable hard top as well. The red car is going up for sale. Having fun!

I have a personal soft spot for the Stretched Buick Stratoliner (Four Hole) Station Wagon Convertibles with a Blown Buick NailHead and a B&M HydroStick.

Honda 600 Sedan. You get almost everything you get with a Cobra: It's noisy. It's uncomfortable. It's really fun to drive. People gape at your individuality. Its speed capabilities are outside the norm. ;>D

Try it, you won't like it. Then try a Caterham, even a base 170 roadster version, and you'll be hooked.

I second that! A friend of mine has one, I joke, it's like a roller-skate with an engine! He offered to let me drive it, but I'm afraid I will like it to much! Cheers, Dennis |

***Groan*** 
But hey - to each his own. I'm no better; this is what's tugging at my heartstrings right now. A brand-new manufactured, 296BHP Ford Escort Mk1 RS

Had one of those (Modified Escort 1300 GT) in my very early twenties - only 110HP. Hit the mountain head on driving to work one morning Went A over K once then rolled back down to land on roof facing the way I had come from. Roof V'd down to dashboard. Fortunately had full harness seat belts so no injuries for passenger and me (Thanks Britax).
Learnt a lot of lessons from that experience that have kept me safe behind the wheel. Aah the over confidence of youth!!!!!! Don't think you can handle anything fancy until you have safely and successfully tried it. |

One of the cars I learned to drive in was my uncle's 1300 Escort. I loved that car but unfortunately he was a grumpy old judge and he used to drive to work in his robes and the stupid looking judge's wig on his head. For some reason I was getting a ride to school with him one morning and he drove so damn slowly that two of my friends on racing bicycles overtook us. Being a kid, that embarrassed the hell out of me and I asked him if he could speed up a bit because bicycles were passing us. He promptly stopped the car and told me to get out. On top of enduring jokes about being overtaken by bikes, I also got into trouble for being late.
I did have the pleasure of riding and racing later on in a Twin Cam Escort against Cortina GT's etc. and the MK1 holds a special place in my heart.
