A member sent me this link to cobras-in-the-city a blog post from driven-threads.com and I thought I'd post it here so we can all enjoy some nice shots of the club's day out back in March..


...btw - browsing this blog post from the same author reveals a couple of nice surprises

That vintage feel… | Driven Threads

Beautiful photos of some great looking cars!

I haven't seen the twin supercharged Cobra before. Very nicely packaged.
