Old time forum members not on here anymore.....
I've been thinking about some of the old timers on here who seemed to have disappeared from posting. One that pops to mind is ERA Chas. I know when last heard from on here he was having sme sort of unspecified issues. Does anyone know what's going on with him?
My very good friend Jim "El Mariachi" passed away a couple of years back, pre-covid. Jim was one of the most amazing people I have ever met and he's greatly missed. I know he contributed quite a bit on this forum over the years.
Does anyone have info on other old time posters who have disappeared from Club Cobra? I'm sure some have sold cars, some have had health issues, and unfortunately some have passed away.

He sold his ERA and literally disappeared in to the night. Several of us were actually worried about him and I tracked him down and told him that. He then reappeared for one goodbye posting. And that was that.  |

Thanks, Patrick. I hope he's doing well wherever he is. |

One of my all time posters was Roscoe. I've known him for at least 20 yrs. I see him occasionally, but we still keep in touch either email or phone. He has sold his Cobra a few years ago.

I’ve wondered about 428Street who went probably further than almost anyone in adding original details to his street ERA build. Haven’t seen him post in awhile.

I remember his build, and I also seem to remember that he lived in Manhattan. That's a tricky place to own and drive a Cobra.  |
