Not as much as I did when first registered, But I still do drive it to work often in the warmer (not too hot) months.
It isn't much fun when the rain comes though.

my old cobra I parked in a shopping centre for about 20 mins I come out to find a family taking turns and sitting in it having photos taking. the fact the alarm went off and nobody took any notice and it didn't seem to bother them either was annoying . they could not understand why I went off my nut at them .

That is my greatest fear when I take mine to shopping centre, the indigenous kids out here don't wear shoes, I worry that one will use a side pipe as a step ladder.

ok, two more questions: for winter driving, do you have heaters or just rug up? Second: what speed must you be doing to not get wet when it rains? ;-)

I had the same thing happen with a group of teenagers. I was not happy.

I plan to install a heater unit, plus seat heaters in mine.....and I'll rug up along with a beanie when it gets cold. But I won't be driving in the rain unless I get caught out in it.

Apparently however, these Cobras evidently put out a fair bit of heat around the foot boxes.

Mine has a heater but to be honest, it's not really that effective. It's an open cockpit and the heater is overwhelmed. I just bundle up

I didn't put a heater or seat heaters, but I did put in twin 12v sockets expressly for heated jackets to plug-in.

seat heaters what a good idea I just had a search and most of them just seemed to be heated seat covers but I found these ones that can be fitted to the seats when trimmed . worth a try I reckon .
