Hi, Dave!
One of these years, we will meet up at the Glen! I don't believe that there are too many Cobras being driven in the winter (snow) here in upstate NY. I haven't seen another one yet :D We have had a lot of brutally cold days this year, so even with the hardtop I need to bundle up pretty good. This time of year, most of the vehicles in the parking lot at work are 4x4, so the Cobra really stands out. Even with the cold, people still roll their windows down when I go by!

Jim,
I really like your license plate. |
Jim...you've got my vote! I don't know what the municipalities in upstate NY are using as an "ice melt" but here in the sticks of central Wisconsin they have come up with a witches brew using magnesium chloride. This stuff melts ice in sub zero temps! It will also sizzle right through epoxy and powder coating, not to say what it does to aluminum and zinc chromate!
Yup, you're a better man than me...I'm keepin' my baby in hibernation 'til Spring. Sissy Powerslide |

Hi Jim. I have been waiting for you to respond to this thread as I knew you had to be the winter Cobra King. I had mine out yesterday to go get gas. Started up after a little coaxing and ran great. I would have stopped at your shop but had to get home to wash the salt and crap out of the garage before it started freezing again. Went through some melting snow and the wet tires made things very interesting. About did a donut when pulling in to the gas station - Wow, lots of power. Got a lot of funny looks which amuses me and I know I amused a lot of people with my knit hat pulled over my ears and my gloves, heavy coat, etc. Part of the fun of ownership. Actually, high 40 degrees is very comfortable with a wool hat, etc. I will try high 30s next time if we get there before the 40s.

Don,
Glad to here you took your Cobra out! (I figured you would, sooner or later) After driving all summer, it would kill me to have to park the Cobra for the winter. If you wait for nice days up here, you loose almost half of the year. I do manage to wash my SPF most every week, at work. You have to be very careful about not getting any water in the side curtain slides, or you either get trapped outside or inside the Cobra, depending on when the window freezes :LOL: This is a great thread, and perhaps more Cobra owners in the colder part of the country will get out at least a couple of times this winter.

Jim...You are the (winter) Man

Took mine to work this morning. It was 30 degrees out, and the fog was so thick that I had to use the wipers the whole way. Visibility was about 50 feet. It was fun doing 80 down US1 doing that! :D
|
Jim,
You win, no body can beat you. |

Picked the wife up for lunch today in the Cobra. Weather service put the temp at 21 F. No top, no sidecurtains. Nice brisk ride!:cool:
|
48F when I started, 38F when I finished. Lousy traction, just a little sun, too much wind, needed gas in the tank ....
What a ride! http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...036_Small_.JPG |
Cold Weather
Golly we have just had some sweltering hot days at 31 -34 degrees, and the sweat just pours out I guess you have a different heat over there, compared to NZ.
