What percentage of the Cobra community are on here?
Just curious as to peoples opinions....
What percentage of the Cobra owners in Aust are members here? Reason being, I see a heap of Cobras around, and very few I identify on here. Candy Apple red with white stripes heading south Pacific Hwy Belmont NSW yesterday. Yet never seen here (or I may be wrong..)
So what percentage??? 5%??? 10%??? 20%???

Some use this for keeping in touch with not only interstate friends, but the cobra community as well. Some are here for the build advice or ideas. There was no resource like this when I built mine in the mid nineties, so others now might not rely on it.
So when they have finished their build or just have other things to occupy themselves with when not driving their Cobra, they just don't see a reason to be here. Some are just not as fanatical as us Rob.
I visit when I can, but you can see by my post count and the years since joining, I don't have a lot to say.

They were in Newcastle over the Easter Long weekend. The show event was in Foreshore Park on the Sunday. I went up to socialize and gather some intel for my next project restoration on the 1969 Mach one family heirloom...that I will be getting stuck into hopefully around Oct this year.
The coolest part was that my Cobra got the most attention at the Caves Beach leg on Monday ...LOL....but Ford Fanatics are fickle, and heck why not...
here is the even link that lays it all out....

No dramas....
I have some pretty decent camera gear to take some great shots, (Canon 60D L series lens etc) just a pity my photographic ability suits a box browny, but we could get a few great pics around Towoon Bay, The Entrance etc, and I have a buddy from another fourm who does all sorts of digital magic. More than happy to spend the best part of a day taking pics and cruising around....PM sent.
