The way I look at this, is they are not original cars, so do what makes you happy. |

over a FE myself. It's what woulda/coulda/shoulda been in there anyways .:rolleyes: |
I don't think I have ever experienced snubbing or being snubbed - then again I'm usually talking to someone and don't pay attention so maybe I just haven't noticed.
My point, I guess, is that who gives a flying damn what small minded people do or say? Ignore the ba$tards! :) |

Funny, the dings and dents actually seem like more of a badge of honor than a knock as to me that means the car is being driven and enjoyed...
I was at a cruise in this summer and among the different Cobras parked there, I saw a little 289 slab side. It was dinged up, paint was oxidized, the interior was shot, the seat leather was completely worn out and ripped.... in other words it was PERFECT! I kept looking at it and even crawled under the front end to be sure and realized it was an original. About that time, the owner came along and I had a great talk with him. He bought it new when he was in college and just drove the heck out of it the entire time he owned it and it showed. The guy was a real hoot to talk to and the car showed the "love" he had for it, unlike many of the "trailer queens" it was parked next to that weren't worth 20% of the value of the little beat up 289 and never got driven except to and from the trailer. Having the owner just be a real car guy was a real bonus on that night.... Bob |
As long as this blue ball turns there will be those that feel the need to speak their piece good or bad.Sometimes things said stir the soul a little,most of the time do not pay any attention.All my toys were hard earned and the pride of ownership will not be taken away by an errant flapping of the gums.Too easy to turn and and walk the other way,like closing a book.

I WAS a member of the 'Cobra Club Of South Africa' for 19 years. In that time I built a cobra from a kit, and subsequently made three cobras from scratch, including chassis, suspension etc., using some 'donar' parts
Without mentioning the first two, I attended a club function with my third prototype (see gallery) last month, the chassis and suspension of which I humbly need to mention, I designed and made myself. The plug I sculptered, from which a mould was made and subsequently the body. I'm certainly not a glory hunter, however, one would expect at least a comment or two, even if it were in the form of critisism, not one, in fact most of the members present hardly even glanced in the direction of my car. A month later I drove to a friend in Pretoria (50 miles from here), Six cobras arrived and the owners were all over my car with comments, questions, praise and critisim. I had difficulty getting away from there, with them wanting to take foto's. You see now why I "WAS" a member of the 'Cobra Club Of South Africa'? |
Back to the start of this thread.
99.9% of cobra owners and folks just looking at the car love them and love to talk to you about how great your cobra is, the other % just are Ass****! Nothing makes them happy...too bad, so sad, nanner nanner. %/ |
Dubbs.....that is a great looking car...could probably sell some of those here in the states.
|
Dam, that is a nice looking ride Dubb. That thing really hugs the ground. With the swept back window and all, it's sinister. Then I looked at the frame/suspension work, whoa, it just keeps getting better. :)

I had that problem when I had my Chevy powered Cobra.

Comedian Groucho Marx was once asked if he was going to join a golf club when he moved to Hollywood. He replied "I wouldn't want to join any club that would have me as a member!". He was quite the philosopher. Those attitudes come with the territory. Just ignore it, and realize how fortunate you are to own 'any' Cobra.

New to this group,
Really going to see how I get snubbed when people see the 5.0 Coyote engine I plan to put in a BDR . Want the experience and culture to be part of my next life challenge. We shall see....great posts here by the way.... |
You guys should move to AZ. Nobody snubs you here and everybody says nice things about your car. I think it's our liberal CCW laws myself. :cool:
