Young lads and a Cobra
Sunday I was working on my car in the garage when I heard this Wow look at that, I looked up and in my drive were three young guys on bicycles maybe 12-14 yrs old. Is that a Cobra, yes, wow. you want to take a look at it? Can we? sure c'mon.
More wow's, this is so cool etc. They walked around the car , looking it over--more wows etc. Asked a few questions. You want to sit in it--Really, yeah really , wow 160(saw the speedo)will it go that fast--Not with me in it---I really don't know. You want to hear it--3 chorus Yes. I fired it up let it rumble for a minute or two, blipped the throttle then shut it down. Wide eyed looks from the the lads. As they left I overheard one young man to his friend saying I want one of those , his friend said I thought you wanted a tricked out Honda Accord like Mikes(an older brother?)--Not any more ricers suck compared to that, even Mikes. And off they went.
Sort of made my afternoon. Very polite young lads with their first look at a Cobra--made an impression I think
