Certainly, without doubt the direction I'd go for a street cobra of 40... and what I'd want to do. But curious as to views and opinions...... and dare I say it .....legal liability?

Spooky, I agree with you completely. I also want to know about the legalities of running Billboards on Australian roads because I'd love a set too!

Who cares????

If you want to read all the agonising and hand-wringing you can stand concerning this subject, hop over to the US forum -- there are pages and pages and pages about are they legal? do they understeer? do they flat-spot? do the sidewalls crack? does the writing fade? yada yada yada ad infinitum. To repeat -- who bloody cares???

They're not everyone's cup of tea, and there is the perception (unconfirmed by all accounts) that some insurance companies in the US have reservations about them, BUT if you like 'em, if you want 'em and if you feel that their looks performance handling whatever, outpoint the whining of the nervous nellies, then just buy a set!!

Bloody hell -- life's too short!
