I imagine the GT40 has got a bit of the green eyed monster sitting next to this watching progress.

i over stretched myself the last 18 months have done house reno's complete paintout. laid floating flooring . new carpets . fit some new doors having someone else do the painting outside soon im just over it .
.had new pool installed i have some clean up from that to do the company who was meant to do the clean up have gone missing in action so the backyard is all over the place atm but getting there slowly. and the trailer is finished and on the road..
need to concentrate on building up the bank balance again as it's taken a hit this yr so no overseas trips for a while i think ...but most of all i want to relax and plod on and enjoy building the cobra again i neglected for far to long it should be a lot further on than what it is .
i have finally gotten around and engaged the services of a engineering company to help with getting the car on the road...but apart from that spooky not much is new :-)

cheers dean i forgot to add start work on the vl race car for next season as i sat this season out . we have racing all over the state next yr from ceduna to roxby downs to pt lincon whyalla pt pirie and a few other tracks inbetween this is what the trailer was built for in the first place

All good Dave.

The big thanks goes to Wayne at Bob Jane Southport.

They shuffled things aground that were already booked it to get in done quick.

Free plug, you want tyres, wheels etc, Bob Jane Sounthport is recommended ..highly recommended .

Yeah...
Wayne Proctor has been a Queensland club member for many years.

Got a very nice black Harrison Cobra, that he keeps in immaculate condition...
and can get the car around the track very quickly.

He owns the Bob Jane at Southport, and is a BIG supporter of the club and the Cobra Nationals.

A great guy, and a good mate.

Here he is having a bit of fun around Morgan Park Raceway at Warwick.

And another... ( Lining up next to Ash "Towmaster")...and wearing my racing gloves...lol )

Messing around with my car today, had a problem, emailed Craig thinking I would get an answer in a weeks time due to the holidays. I get an answer a few hours later. You don't get any better service than that. Well done Pace.
