I was on the negative side of the comment
While visiting Unique Motorcars, Gadsden AL, where I ended up buying my Cobra 427 S/C, during their 2010 homecoming, I was fortunate enough to be around ~40 Unique Cobra 427s and FIAs. The next day, Sat, was an organized drive through the north AL hills to Barber Intl. Speedway museum. And since I signed my purchase order for my Cobra the day before,,,,, I was invited to drive along, even though I didn’t have a Cobra to drive. So I drove my Porsche RS60 Spyder. It was spectacular driving in a ~40 Cobra parade. The cars strung out at least a ¼ mile. People were on their front porches, stopped their lawn movers, standing in front of small shops and just waving with smiles from ear to ear. Now a Porsche is no “cheesy” car, but I guess when compared to a Cobra…. That’s another story? While the Cobra caravan was slowing down to make a right turn at an intersection and people alongside the road watching…. One group of guys said within ear shot of my wife and I…. What the f*** is that car doing there?  That kind of said it all. Next year’s homecoming, I’ll have my own Cobra and can start hearing some of the positive comments mentioned throughout this thread.

I was in Pasadena (LA) on Friday night at a stop sign when a new red Farrari pulls up to my left about even with the front of my car. The driver lifts himself out of his seat and says, that is one beautiful car. the blond next to him gives me the thumbs up.  |

The Eureka Rally
Sunscreen was the order of the day. I left home in a t-shirt, sweatshirt and light jacket and it was a little chilly, but not one cloud was in the sky. I met Larry (one of the few brave enough to spend a day in the Cobra) at the start of the Eureka Rally and we registered as car 6. This rally was a Santa Monica Sports Car Club event written by Jeanne English. Car 1 left at 10:01 and by the time we lined up behind a beautiful red Mini Cooper (you know, the car that can double as a coffee table) the temperature was up and we were down to t-shirts.
The instructions took us to the Antelope Valley where we found 9 checkpoints and scored well enough to take home the trophy for Touring Class. It was a very enjoyable rally that left us full of memories of mountains, cactus and perfectly paved roads. Come out and join us for the next one: http://www.smscc.org/.
NOTE: The touring class has simple to follow instructions without all the tricky rules that make people feel frustrated. I highly recommend it.

Thanks, no harm to the door but I was not happy about it.
