Tinny is the only guy I know of that has more miles following his cobra than driving it.

I used to say never hit a man when he's down but on the other hand if you hit him when he is down, a real man will get back up and kick you in the !@#%^  |

Dave, its all a matter of perspective and clarity of intent. What Mikie said was absolutely true and he did not lie, about this anyway, however he may have been accused of putting a different spin on whatever happened during a weekend run between himself, his room mate, room mates, plural, or people of alternate and or different sexual persuasion that were entertained in his room, anyway I digress, where were we, oh yes, Mikies comments.
If you consider all the happenings to my car and the absolute life changing expectations I had in driving it after waiting almost one and a half years and then only being able to put 78 miles on it before it went south for the summer plus all the subsequent discussions, comments, suggestions and good camaraderie that followed my post on the subject, then yes I can consider that as mileage in a most positive and admirable way. I can say this truthfully and without any reservations since I have found an environment populated by fine upstanding gents that have a commonality of purpose being their beloved Cobra's so I do not consider that as being in anyway a negative. In fact it has been anything but, its all been positive in the support I have received from many members, who, and I am including you Dave as well in this statement, that while not knowing me personally shared in my pain, angst and exasperation at what happened.
So with all due respect to you Dave, I disagree when you state what Mikie said was to be considered as a being low.
I took the high road on his comment so there was no harm or foul recieved.
BTW, my Cobra is now fixed and is receiving extensive seat time to shake out whatever bugs may be hiding before I get it in December.

I don't hit older gentlemen, I just invite them to do burnouts and watch them crap their pants. tin-man

Mikie,, you better look again. There are two terms used to exclude Ratboy...
Older. While I understand the term is relative, I've got socks older than him.
Gentleman: Self explanatory.

Dan, Tinny is so old he has started from the beginning again. Sort of like the odometer in his car. It goes to 78 then turns back to zero. LOL LOL
And Ratboy is the only one I know, that has a or had a permanent crease in the seat cushion. The new owner of his car had to get the seat recovered.

All I know is the 3 of you are older than I am and yes I am sure you all have socks older than I am. I made it past 78 miles with mine being it broke but it made up for it in the number of times it broke the next 1000 miles

Tinny glad to hear your car is repaired and being driven to see what else it may or may not need.

Ron, you are right, what started out as a "AZ yogurt shop caters to classic cars" thread, was hijacked by a bunch of retired or soon to be retired fine upstandin' gents, me included, that took it to an entirely different plateau of communication and it all started with Dave from Mesa slamming my post on what was an absolutely innocent comment and then all the regulars chimed in and created absolute irreverent chaos as only the Arizona Cobra Club members can do.  So I am guessing we need get back on track. Next week I'll update everyone on the saga of the 78 mile wonder car, err, hmm, strike that, err, here's a re- write: "the one of a kind, custom built, bullet proof, totally indestructible Bleck Cobra, that is currently tearing up California streets, freeways and parking lots.".

My apologies David if you think "slamming"' was too harsh. However I do recall someone told me I should quit being a pessimist on a post that was purely rhetorical in form and content. tin-man.

Too bad you're going to be too old to drive it before you get it back.  |

I'll let you know, if I get there. Of course, since you are SO much older than I, you might be looking at the back side of the sod by then.

Waddya mean too old, I have a mind like a steel trap, big brass ballz walk with a swa...........well you know the rest of the comment.
Age is relative, ask Mikie and Karl they bin round the block, a time or two, whereas I, me, am still humping and pumping and rarein' to go.
