Well I had a GREAT day yesterday...
Yes, after 4 and a half years, my Cobra is now registered.

I reckon that the last 4 -5 weeks waiting for the appointment to go over the pits at Qld Transport has been the hardest part.

I have to say that the guys at the Bundaberg depot were fantastic, no problems. Then I filled out the forms and waited in a queue, then paid my money and I was out in the carpark screwing on those plates.

Picked my son up from school yesterday arvo and basically didn't stop cruising around til about 8.30 last night. Pity I have to go to work today.
Thanks for the tips along the way you guys.

regards Mick
(How good does it feel driving these cars around!!!)

As I said yesterday Mick, well done. People always say anticipation is better than possession, but as Cobras go, I reckon that's wrong!

Hope to see you before too long.

Mick

Congratulations.

4.27AM for your post. That must either be deliberate or you are just too excited to sleep!!

Looking forward to seeing your car on the road.

Is he up driving again already, or sitting in it in the garage waiting for the sun to come up.

Congrates mate and keep enjoying the drives, with many more to follow.

Geof,

Strangely the time was a co-incidence... i took the day off yesterday to get "legal" and had to catch up on work...
A great time though 4.27... must be a sign...

Mick

Cheers

That's fantastic news Mick. 4 x 1/2 years sounds familiar. I'm approaching that number. Just have to have my final inspection on a date to be decided shortly. Enjoy the ride.
