What is the LATEST recognition your Cobra has had recently?

[Sharroll Celby]

Was at the "John Force's Racestation Holiday car Show" yesterday, and my Cobra was practically buried amongst the Roadrunner and '57 Chevrolet Hardtop. (Did you know the top of my Cobra's windshield sticks up about 6" above the top of the Roadrunner's door ledge where the driver puts his/her arm?)
There was this one young teenager girl who was taking pics of some of the cars, and she took a pic of my Cobra. I asked her if she wanted me to take her pic with her IN the driver's seat...she thought about it for about a second, then said "Heck yeah!"
I gave my usual "Sidepipes are VERY hot" speech, and she climbed in for the pic. When she got out, she had this WIDE smile, and a look of great pleasure from sitting in the Cobra. She kept looking back as she walked away!

I was driving down Goldenwest St. in Westminster, CA yesterday with my newly on the road SPF Brock Coupe. A Suburban pulls along side and a 12-ish year old boy sticks his head out the window and yells, "I love your car!" After thanking him, he says, "What is it?". I yell, "A Superformance Brock Coupe!" He says, "Cool". I pull into a restaurant parking lot a few minutes later for lunch. I park, shut her down, grab my stuff and start to get out. As soon as I turn around, there's the kid and his brother. The mom is in the Suburban and sheepishly says, "Can my kids ask you about your car?" I could tell she was embarrassed, but being a good mom. The kids were going nuts over the car and one of them asks, "What year is it?" I said, "Actually it's brand new, but it's a reproduction of a 1965 race car - the first American car to beat Ferrari for the world GT championship." The kid just looks stunned for a second and says, "Whoaaaaa, I thought it was from the future!"

Absolutely made my day!

Doug,

After all this time it is good to hear that you are enjoying the fruits of your
labor and waiting. Congratulations!

Thanks Flip! I definitely have a permanent smile on my face! Put 100 miles on it yesterday getting my brake/lamp inspection done, going to the DMV to get my plates (UNRL 65), going to the B.A.R. to get my SB100 smog exemption sticker (!), and then going by a friend's house to show it off. Drove it to Hillbank today to show Lance Stander (owner of SPF Distribution) that it IS really done. Had my four year old in the passenger seat (in his new Recaro booster seat) and he is smiling ear to ear too. He will be singing the praises of Peter Brock to his kids and to their kids!

Aloha!
