Quick visit to Melbourne
Hey there guys, I will be in Melbourne on the 15 March till Mid day Friday 18th.
I dont suppose the Cobra club meeting is on between these dates? |
Hi Dave, We meet first Wed of the month (i.e. tomorrow night). Next meeting is 6th April.
Shame you're not there the next week, when ShelbyFest is on. Rgds Gregg |
Dave is too scared to go..
|
Scared of what, a granny shift Bunnings car?
I would normally be in Melbourne for 3 weeks, and be at Albury for Chryslers on the Murray 19-20 March, then at Shelbyfest the follwing weekend (tow Cobra down with Valiant Hearse), but work is pretty full on at the moment and I have been "lucky" enough to get a week off. I chose to attend the Chrysler show as I have a car club meeting in Alice on the same weekend as ShelbyFest. We are having night racing at the drag strip, with headlights on and 1/8th mile |
Dave, you'll also miss Top Gear Live in Melb 11-14th as well. Timing is everything.
Gav, it will be my first ShelbyFest (competing that is) this year. Hope to catch up with you. (I will be driving the 6 speed manual - like a granny :-) ) Rgds Gregg |
Gregg, with your car being a manual, you will do more than catch up with him, you will pass him. Repeatedly :)
|
That might be the case Dave, but even with Greg driving like a granny, and me driving with a granny shift we would still spank you matey!!

No doubt there will be a few first timers, a good freind of mine with a GT40 is going to have his first dip too! As for driving like a granny, I am sure after your first lap you will reguarly find the rev limiter :) |
I am only stirring the pot Gav, would much prefer to be doing it in the pits while we are both sitting in our respective Cobra's all buckled in and ready to go.
But that wont stop me laughing at your flappy paddles. |
Room in small shed
Hey Dave,
I have a spare room in my small shed ( compared to your post code shed ) if you need a place to stay........ STIFFY |
I see Gav's car is on the front cover of Snaketales.
Much bragging rights for a while! Ben |
Stiffy, thanks for the offer but accomodation is fine for me in Melbourne.
Mum is still there and I lived there for 21 years. I will be driving up to Albury in one of these. http://australianmusclecarsales.com....ac?query=pacer The owner is taking his wife and 2 kids, so they want to be in the a/c car. Which I dont mind at all. The owner is a really good guy and I am blown away by his offer to drive the Pacer there for him. |

Didn't you ring me a month or two back enquiring about them becuase you where thinking about building a cobra racer with an auto? Must have been another Dave from Alice... |
Shhh, dont tell anyone that.
Or they will all start thinking I will be wearing a skirt like you :) |
If picking up 4 secs a lap was as easy as slipping on a dress, F1 would make them standard uniform ;)
|
Hmmm, so anyone in a manual car that is 3.5 seconds behind you, is in theory faster? :)
All good Gav, as I have said to you in the past, if I build a dedicated racer (drag racer) most likely will be LS1 with either aftermarket injection, or carby and electronic ignition, Auto box (turbo 350/400) and 9 inch in the bum. |
Cobra racecar + Auto!! Boxy you could buy OzVenoms.....its for sale and only ever been driven by Nana's on weekends! Lol
