UT,
That was wonderful for the little girl, but for you it must have been a priceless experience.

I second that!
The most touching story I've heard yet with a Cobra. 
Hell, now you gotta keep it!

Hot Rod TV
I was interviewed by HOT ROD TV while I was on the Power Tour. The guy that interviewed me said that it will air on the 16th. The show is about the top ten muscle cars of all time.
He also said that it might be shown on the Power Tour show that will air in about three weeks.
I made the whole tour, drove a total of 3850 miles in 11 days. Had a blast.

Yesterday at a local car show a fellow approached me as I stood behind my car. He asked if "This" was my car, I responded and he approched and as he circled around the back said "Thanks for not bringing a kit car". "It is a real one right" I said no its a kit; he stopped in his tracks.

Too funny!
A bunch of us guys got together and went to the Dutton rally at Eastern Creek a couple of weeks ago and parked the cars (7) along the covered garages. We were watching the racers going down the straight from the pit roof, wearing our various Cobra related t-shirts and such when a guy comes up to us and says "if you guys like Shelbys you ought to know that some guy has bought an original Cobra down stairs!" My mechanic replies "which one? the silver number 96? he said yes have you seen it? and who owns it? the finger was pointed at me to which I replied that it was not an original but a Robnell. He was a little embarrased I think but congratulated me on it's how original it looked.

I won first place in the local annual Ford show this past Sunday. Since it was primarily a Mustang based show, I was put into the "Special Interest - stock vehicles" class. This class had about 15 cars in it, with some really nice stock musclecars and vintage non-Mustang Fords.

Wide berth!
I spent an hour or so at the local wednesday night car show.
The thing that struck me odd was how much room everyone gave the Cobra, like it would bite!
People seemed to get a lot closer to most of the other cars, right up to & almost touching them. But I only saw one guy get any closer than an arms length, & he brought a Shelby GT350 clone!
I know it didn't smell bad or anything like that. It was puzzeling to me. Just not quite the reaction I'd expected.

Jdog,
That is unusual. Normally you have to stand and keep them back and I have seen people open the doors and get into the Cobras if the owner wasn't there to stop them. Of course yours is so bright and shiny, they may be afraid of touching it. The Built While I Was In Folsom Prison sign may have helped also.

Today I went to a sandwich shop to pick up lunch. I came back out, got in the car and as I was strapping in a car pulled in next to me. It was a family with kids. The wife gets out and looks down and says "Honey we better move the car, we're not worthy to park next to this car". Too funny...

Yesterday my wife and I were out for a nice drive. Minding our own business at the stoplight I noticed a guy walking his dog with his wife. He said something, but I didn't pay attention. My sweet spouse taps me and said, "did you hear what he said?" Nope, thank goodness.
Apparently the creep was going on and on about "your car stinks, shut that damn thing off... etc."
Then she asked what I would have said if I had heard him. I just shook my head and said "honey, you don't want to know."

I was cruzin' down the road today about 65 mph looked in my mirror and saw something with orange lights flying up on me. This guy in a Z06 pulls along side of me and yells, "That car is bad as sh!t!" I said back, "Thanks".
He then yells, "I should have gotten one of those." I just nodded my head and said, "Yup."
He then eased on past me and I just smiled.

Took a 200 mile cruise on the 4th of July to pick up a FE surge tank for a buddy of mine.
Took the back roads from Southern MD to Dickens, MD I was coming to a crossroad somewhere on 198 or 28 not sure at that point and was paying more attention to the street signs when I hear the high streak of a well tuned small block, I look in my rear view mirror and see the tail end of a gray GT40. He had pushed the clutch in and gave it a rev. either that or he missed second gear and I am just flattering myself.
anyway it made me jump.

Was cruisin' Rodeo Drive in the Cobra when some guy (it's always some GUY!) in a new Ferrari said over my rumbling sidepipes---"I wish MINE sounded as good as yours!"

Out for a cruise a few weeks ago and three Lambos reved their motors going by. Cobras are loud, but a Lambo's is ear piercing!

My FIRST Cobra 'admiration experience' was Monday...I was taking my brand spanking new Cobra up to Ft Worth for the LoneStar folks to inspect and register it etc. I was pulling it behind a rented Ford F350 pickup on a trailer and pulled into a gas station in Temple, Texas to fill up.
1) The old guy at the next pump had the usual "is it a kit?", question, but he was really nice about it, and impressed that I had built it (  ) and I resisted the obvious responses and just chatted while I filled up...I thought that was going to be it.
2) A woman at the pump behind came over gushing and said "Oh my god, is THAT a Cobra? It is my husband's dream car. He will never believe I have actually seen one, would you mind waiting while I call him and get him to come over?" Not in a particular hurry, I said "sure"...5 minutes later a late forties guy roars up and spends the next 20 minutes asking me every kind of question...
3) ...In the meantime, the two Indian guys who own the gas station have closed down the pay booth and come over to take a look, three young Latino guys park next to me and want to know "hey man, what IS that car...beeeeeautiful!", and a family of five in a minivan get out and all walk over to chat. I ended up with their 8 year old son sitting in the car on the back of the trailer while his dad took pictures...
It took me 40 minutes to get out of there to waves and smiles.
God, if this is my FIRST experience and I wasn't even driving it, someone tell me how you EVER fill up with gas without taking hours?
LOL
