Default Cobras on Stingers

Just a quick note

Thumbing through Melbourne TV Week I see Dermott Brereton is going to be on Stingers on Tuesday (Yeah, Yeah Big Deal) But looking closely at the picture I see cars in the background and what do I spy

The ass end of a Cob up on a hoist

Stingers, Chan 9, Tuesday 10.30pm EST

Reading a bit of the blurb it say there is a racket involving importing drugs using American Muscle Cars.

Could be worth a squizz

Oh yeah, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TAPE IT FOR ME

See y'all in a couple'o weeks

Cheers
Batman

Yes it is a Cobra and the shots were done at George Vidovics' Python Racing workshop in Ferrars St. South melbourne.

George often has involvement in TV shows with his blue baby Thunderbird on neighbours used by the Doctor on the show.

His old yellow and white Holden on neighbours. Numerous Harley adds and appearances etc.

But Dermott with a Cobra or Mustang.

Thumbs up Good television

Well there you go. What great exposure to a huge television audience.



What a fantastic opportunity to promote Python Cobra Racing and GV Automotive. I was surprised that the television network didn't change the name to something else.

All the actors were walking around in George's Cobra race shirts and business shirts with his name all over them. Great free advertsing.

George had a small cameo speaking role. He drove the convertible into the shop off the tow truck and spoke to the workshop owner.

I saw a dozen or so Cobra bits in the factory during the program along with George's two race Cobras.

Front clip off the race car and hanging on the wall etc. etc.

At one stage George's blue Cobra was out the front with his blue Thunderbird.

There was a Cobra on the hoist also under construction.

Overall a lot of promotion for Cobras and of course early Mustangs.



My daughter did not miss the fact that the main workshop owner called Mitch was played by F. J. Holden ( Frankie J. Holden ).

.. an F.J. Holden in a factory full of Fords.

Wasn't a bad story line either.



Like that blonde cop also



Don't think I have spoilt it for anyone who has it on tape.
