I'm 52 (as of today woo hoo), and have had my Cobra replica for 5 yrs now. I have always loved the look of these cars since I was a kid. I rode in a Cobra replica approx 15 yrs ago and actually was disappointed in the power. It had a stock sideoiler to replicate the original. I swore to myself at that point if I could ever afford one, it would have to have much more power than the original to compliment the looks of the car. I'm a happy man now. Life is good. Cheers.
But been into these cars, and gathering info since I was 31 when i saw a Hawk 289 replica at Earl's Court...then bought my first kit when I was 32 with insurance payout after daily driver was stolen so i went back to riding bikes, then the G/F bought me a 1/24 model as a going away present for my new job and........... man, was it really that long ago?... I must be one anally retentive sad f*ck!
