Reversing lights.



Beautiful! How long did the painter have it for? Some random observations:
Looks like you also have a nice big shed to work from, and...
Your rear tyres will give you excellent wet weather grip in reverse

Craig,

First of all, WELL SPOTTED. In my haste to see how the wheels would look with the new paint job, I just threw the rears on and they are on the wrong sides! So Excellent grip in reverse.

Yes the shed is Huuuuuuuuuuuge.. 6m x 4m.. Now I know Aussie Mike and Stiffy will be quite jealous of the size...But as some one once said, Size doesn't matter...its what you do with what you have got!

The painter had it for just under 3 months. The week I dropped it off, it rained here in Bundy for weeks on end and his insurance work from crashes mounted up very quickly, and as that is his bread and butter work he got into that first.

regards

Mick

Mick,
That color is perfect for the Cobra.
That is one sweet lookin' ride.
But it ain't bad on a Roaring Forties GT either.

750HP you are the one responsible for my unashamed addiction to Bundy. Sad to say it is not available here. I take as much as I can back from the Duty free shop on my visits but it never last until the next trip.
That is by far the best rum ever. I even wrote a letter to the company and they responded right away saying there were no immediate plans to distribute to the States.
Well...maybe someday.
