Ownership experience of a cobra

[tonyvda]

Maybe I should get a BWM Z-4 (abs, air bags etc)...Drove it adn hated it..need headers and side pipes.


Get the best of both worlds.....Just drove my BMW engined Cobra 25 miles in minus 1 celcius to get to the testing station 3 miles away from my house..Open top and little heating........

Cant stop grinning, its 8 hours since I put the car away in the garage, and during the drive hpome I was stopped twice by guys wanting to chat " Is it real, I've always wanted one etc"

The combination of the modern engine and tiptronic gearbox with the looks of the Cobra are unbeatable, and the sound when you accelerate just gives me goosepimples.

I have underfloor exhausts and when cruising along I had to keep checking the tacho to convince myself the engine hadnt died the car was so quiet, and then a bit of pressure on the accelerator on the beast just squat down and flew forward with that delicious noise.........

I then had to go Xmas shopping in my Jag, which I now find wholly unsatisfying........

Cheers,

Tony
