What is the LATEST recognition your Cobra has had recently?

[Turbonut48]

I have a friend ( actually , I have 2 friends) at one of the cruises who offered to buy me lunch, if I would bring the coupe over to show to some of his co-workers. The co-workers really fawned over it.
Lunch was good!
Life is good !

Just one more comment regarding recognition.

I love when your at car show or on the road parked, and a small gathering of old intelligent looking guys spend several minutes inspecting the car. Best part is when their discussion is..is this an original cobra or a replica? Hmmmm!

I smile and enjoy their comments. :

Just goes to show that "intelligence" is not something that can be determined by appearance, the slobbering fool drooling on your car wouldn't have know to ask which puts him ahead of those guys

Thank you all the stories just make this hobby a true lifestyle...soon, fairly soon....Bill

I'd just bought my Superformance and was trailering it home on a four-lane boulevard trough some town or another. As I'm sitting in line at the traffic light waiting for it to turn green, a young black guy in a black Escalade pulls up next to me and stops well short of the light. He puts down his passenger window and is waving frantically for me to put down my window. I do, and he yells. "What kind of car is that?"

What the hell do you say to that question with 10 seconds before the light changes. "Cobra," I yell back.

He hollers, "Who makes it?"

What the hell do I say that he'll understand? "Ford...Shelby," I reply.

"I thought so," he shouts. "My buddy was telling me about those. I followed you for five miles past my turn just to catch up to you!"

The light turns and he makes a U-turn, snapping pictures out the driver’s window with his cell phone.

As I drive down the street I to leave my neighborhood, a kid runs out into the street waving. I slow down enough to hear what he is saying: "Hey, can I get a ride to town?". I was kinda of a jerk and was a little annoyed and just sped away....I'm not used to the celebrity status of my Cobra....

Hey Ward, smart thing to do, the kid could have turned ugly while in your car, you never know the ulterior motives of some people, specially kids and chicks. tin-man

I went to the store right down the street to get some cigarettes in my SPF an when I came out a black guy came up on a bicycle as I was getting in the Cobra, he said you must be a millionaire an also said that it was the nicest car he had ever seen, I told him I was not a millionaire an laughed. I then had to asked him to give me a push because my starter failed to engage. lol

I took BDR 687 to a show last weekend and after leaving the wifey and I stopped at Hooters before the drive back home. I have a great wife so while she is inside getting a place to sit; I’m moving the car to where I can see it whilst eating. She mentioned what we were doing to the waitress, so after I was seated the waitress wanted to know which car was ours. When I pointed out the Cobra she seemed genuinely impressed, as though she’d seen a thousand crappy cars and finally got to see something cool. When we were done eating I asked if she or any of the girls would care to let me snap a couple of pics of them with the Cobra to which she replied a very enthusiastic “Sure!” So the wife and I head out and a couple of minutes later half the waitresses on duty showed up outside. As they were walking out the only one who knew which car was ours was our waitress (the redhead in the pics) and a large truck was blocking their view until they were right up to the car. Before they saw the Cobra you could tell from their voices and mannerisms that the others weren’t too excited, it just seemed like something to do. That changed radically when they realized which car they were going to. All sorts of girl chittering started with several of them wanting pics taken with their own cell phones. Really, I took more photos with the girls cells than I did with my own camera, the results of which are below. Damn I dig this car!

At the begining of this summer I was followed and pulled over by this female cop (cute and young) she just wanted to have a few secs to drull over my car, "it is the most beautiful car in the world sir" she said . You have a nice day and drive safely. A few weeks later another woman stuck her head out of her Escalade and asked me at a stop light "What is that ?" I replied a Lamborghini killer" she replied nice car is that a new brand name? you got to laugh ;-)

"Are you OK? WTF happened? Just how fast were you going before you hit? Your going to have to sign this release, Hold on the Ambulance is coming, Where do you want me to put these pieces?Oh man there is oil all over the place,Wow look at the Armco,I'm going to have to put you on the roll back backwards, is there anyway you can get that front wheel straight? Where is your trailer parked"?
Hey it was a good 22 year run and I had a hell of a lot of fun, never won a trophy, never passed every car on the track but made a few friends along the way, drank a few too many TnT's and have more good memories than bad.

Stopped at a gas station to fill up after a car show. 5 people get out of there cars and ask if they could take a pucture! A week later I stop for gas and the gas station attendant was taking pictures of the car with his cell phone. A woman starts yelling at him " Your taking pictures of the car and not waiting on me?" She sped off in a huff. I guess some people just don't know when they are in the presence of a true automotive legend.

I stopped at the gas station in the Cobra today and the guy at the next bay walked up and said: "you wanna' trade straight across for two screaming kids and my car?"
I asked, "Does the wife go with the deal?"
"We can talk" is his response.
You should have seen the look his wife gave him when he said that.... priceless!
He was in such trouble... I would not want to have to be in that car.

So I Went to the all American Muscle Car day at Lakeside Qld, at the twin space station servos got asked about my kit the guys jaw dropped your taking a aussie kit to an all american day.
I walked off no answer.

last Friday night was out cruising home from a friends send off, Saw the police car pull out infront I drove quietly as lakeside pipe allow, they drove slow I rolled past, indicated to go the back way home, they pulled up along side asked if I minded a breathalizer test. I said ok.
The female officer very cute couldnt care less about the breath test she wanted photos of the car, asked all the right questions even got in to the drivers seat for a classic shot, I believe now on the wall in the station office. lol
Shows there are still good people left in the world. I was .01 for the record.
