Ok another one .http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...d=1244ACAF52DC This is something I like . Is a car belonging to somebody on the forum ??

Don't tell me it's another one of those dreadful DBR shockers . LOL JOKE They all look the same to me .

Although I did sometimes wonder why some car had more "ROAD PRESENCE" than others .I always thought it was somethimg to do with colour or wheels and tyres .

I don't mind this car at all. I've seen it around and it has great street appeal. It is one of the good shapes and has the bonus of a 5.8 windsor.

I'd change the side pipe and wheels but it is a great base for a newbie to enter the cobra world.

Gforce was the car that started my love of these cars they had a beautiful Green car in thier advertising with lots of chrome in the right places and i was hooked!!!!
Love yellow cars but this isn't a good example!!
It comes back to..... buy Built or buy to Build!!!The buy built option i reckon people still end up spending at least a 1/4 to sometimes a 1/3 of their purchase price whilst owning the car and fixing the things that erk them then the obligitory performance upgrades.

LGC

Take note of the last comment - OZCOBRA is spot on.

I bought my Cobra built and then proceeded to spend nearly half the price fixing / changing / fine tuning the bits I didn't like.

Once realisation sets in that you are simply throwing more and more of your hard earned dosh into a snake pit you need to stand back and say THAT'S ENOUGH!

That's where I am - after 5 years!

Still not 100% happy, but who is
