Safe travels Craig.

Can I ask what your bringing (although your probably asleep by now)

400TT 03-20-2012 05:48 AM

Thanks guys for the well wishes.

Dave, sleep, what's that?

Just coming down with my brother and his GT40 we sponsor.

Won't be bringing any of the new toys, but will have a big showing at the Nationals this year. Next year for Shelby Fest. At the shop(have two shops now) it's all hands on deck, have over 10 guys in total now including full timers & contractors. Just can't spare the resources to do anything at the moment.

And I bet none of my guys will miss me. :LOL:

Craig

Good luck with the trip down.

I am amazed just how busy you guys were [are] when I was up there. The new factory and Cobra manufacturing area is really something. I am looking forward to see the new GT40 and the finished Cobra.

The body shape of the Cobra is fantastic also.

Again safe trip down. Look forward to catching up with you and everyone there. I hope to be there later Friday afternoon.

Sounds terrific Craig. We are all pleased about your progress and what it adds to the vitality and strength of the Australian market. Any pics of the new (?) car that looks like an Ariel Atom?

Gav 03-20-2012 09:43 PM

Hi Greg, there should be a few of us there, I am leaving home after lunch so should be down at about dinner time.
Just got to check trailer bearings now before I go!

gjkrv8 03-20-2012 10:35 PM

Thanks Gav, will be good to catch up over a bit and beer. Yes check those bearings, I have seen many a lonely boat/caravan/trailer on the side of the road over the years with only one wheel attached :-(

I am attempting to get out of Melb on thurs before the crappy weather starts on Friday as I am going up in my "no-soft-top" Cobra :-)

Chris did it used to be blue? I'm sure I have an old RACE magazine that had it on the front cover?

Wazza 03-24-2012 03:18 PM

Not getting much detail....but a couple of texts tell me that the Queenslanders are going pretty quick....Wayne Proctor and Ash Bright and John White all banging out low 1min 34 secs laps !!!!!......Not sure how that stands up to the other guys, but that seems bloody quick to me.......

Any results guys ?

Cheers,
Warren

Tenrocca 03-24-2012 10:33 PM

Yes that was very quick - it was just awesome watching them go for it. Balls like watermelons. The black and orange thing was doing 1:27's I think.
