Newbie introduction/car inbound!
Hey folks,
I'm a first time owner, but no stranger to being a car nut; my new ( to me, albeit I'm 2nd owner ) SPF MKIII is on its way to me from FL this week. I live in Cave Creek area, and my other fun car is a red '65 fastback. I'm not too much of a "joiner" but I look forward to see what the local community is like, and meet other owners/Cobra fans.
If she gets here by Sat, I may cruise out somewhere ( pavilions perhaps ) to show her off 
Best,
Robert (BMF) |

Thanks and wow nice ride, Keith! Love the vintage look and vibe; mine doesn't have the same look, a little more "modern" approach...I'm not worthy HAHA!

Robert, welcome to the clan. Another Bob with an SPF? Who'd of thought? You will find your new toy is on a whole nother level of smile than your 65 coupe. Just wait. Be careful until you get used to it. I know you think you'll be OK but, take it easy and increase play slowly. Your next step is an F-18.
AZ Bob

Agreed, Bob- I appreciate the advice.
In fact, the impetus behind getting the SPF was me missing the visceral ( and let's face it, scary fun at times ) feeling of my Harleys; got knocked off one yrs ago by a less than desired member of society in a Lincoln. I'm fortunate to be alive.
Decided it's hard to get knocked off a car, so I went back to the auto hobby.
The Cobra provides the open air, vibe and power to weight ratio my Fastback cannot...plus its' the damn sexiest body style! 
I've driven several on my way to select mine, and have been around cars all my life, so I have deep respect and understanding of what they can do.
I'm home the next two full weeks with little to do ( I travel much for work ) so if anyone's going to be around to shake hands and show off cars I'd like to see what's out there in the community.
Cheers,
R |

Welcome....If your car is here by this weekend come on over to Falcon Field in Mesa for a Aircraft/Car show. I'll be there with my FFR and maybe some others may show up.
10am-3pm, $15.

BMF:
Welcome, and congratulations on your new ride. If you are looking for some company this weekend during your "test run" let me know. I own SPF #2985 and am also located in Cave Creek.

Hi Robert,
My name's Rich (SPF 1406 Red/White stripe) I also live in Cave Creek (Troon North area actually). Maybe all of us can take our cars to the Venues Cafe on Saturday mornings and hang out for coffee/breakfast with the hot rod gang that's there every Saturday. Good group of guys...

Appreciate the kind welcome from all; once the car's in my garage, cleaned up and ready to go I'd definitely meet up for a "cars n' coffee" type thing.
When my busy work season is on ( Spring/Summer ) , I'm away most weekends; that's when I take advantage of having weekdays/nights off for cruises!
Best,
Robert

I just move to Troon North/ Cave Creek, so how are the cops with all the no loud noise signs and these cars?

decibels
I'll have to take a few test readings ( idle, 2K inside the car, ten feet away at cruise when driving by, WOT, etc ) with my dB meter phone app to have an educated idea and a friendly chat when I get pulled over... 
I've had loud Harleys and have for years regularly cruised up through the 'Creek with zero problems; I've also used responsible and prudent throttle twisting habits in town. |
