Hey Phil

Not definate yet but its going to be dark. GMH has a colour called Amethyst. It alternates between dark purple and black. But who knows. I change my mind every week.

I will probably make a descision 5 minutes before the painter switches on the compressor.

Garrett, I ve heard of payback but getting married thats ridiculous

I only had to renovate the bathroom

But then again your Cobra may have cost more and goes twice make that three times harder than mine so I suppose it evens out.

There must be something you can bring back from the honey moon thats Cobra related.

Congrats to you both

Phil

Don't worry about this year Garrett.
Next year you'll only have halve a Cobra to buy for.
I'd be worried about what she will be buying for her half

Fluffy animal for the rear vision mirror.
Pink seat cover.
One of the wooly steering wheel covers.

Yup........You'll have to put stripes on the car now, so you know which side is yours and which side is hers.

Then again we all know what side you'll end up with.
The one without the fluffy steering wheel cover

Justbetter, congrats, hope all goes well, there's always next year!

I just want my car to be back on the road before Christmas, that's all I want!

Oh, and of course for my child to be born healthy and happy! (now 4 days overdue!!!)

A momo knob - easy to please

Oh......

Already sent list to Santa - we'll see if he's busy yet

As its my birthday on boxing day - may be a Daytona Coupe as long as it fits next to the Cobra in the shed

My daughter Lauren was almost 2 weeks late. It's understandable I guess, even now she doesn't like getting out of bed to go to school.

Cheers

Make that 5 days overdue! Getting very stressed now! Hope all is well with the baby, I guess being the first one, a million things go through your head!

Aussie Mike, did you read my follow up post when I mentioned being biased? Hope you did! Felt bad when I read your post, the biased one was meant to be for me not you!

Stef

Yep, read that Stef, Sorry my mistake.

I guess with the printed word it's often easy to mistake peoples meaning. But I still hold to what I said, you've got a great car there. And anyway everyone has the right to be biased towards their own brand of car.

Hope the little one arrives soon. You are in for an adventure over the coming years. Lauren is 3 1/2 now and it's been amazing to watch her develop. I still vividly remember when I first held her at 6:10AM on 1st February 2001.

Cheers

Thumbs up Cobra is back today

Kristen



Good to hear you have the Cobra back in the garage today.

It took a while. Hope the side pipes are up to your expectations.

You will be pleased to hear I finally cleaned the Cobra.

Hey everybody!

Got the best Christmas present 12.47 am Friday morning!

My little girl Isabella came into my world, 12 days overdue and a little overcooked!

Still at the hospital till Tues or Wed, just came home to drop some pressies off as there was no more room left!

In love all over again and now that I know what sex it is I am planning what to do to her first boyfriend!

I have a couple of thoughts,

(i) K#ll the first so all the rest can think twice about it!

(ii) Tell the boyfriend as they are going on their first date,
" Remeber, whatever you do to my daughter, I will do to you!!" That should also make him think twice! ha ha ha!

Had to spread the GREAT news guys! I'm very proud and excited (1st one)!

The Cobra passenger seat has now been filled, (sorry Penny, my lovely wife). Will be taking drives down to Bondi and showing off my two finest creations (as soon as Isabella is old enough of course & Jeff pulls his finger out and finishes my car!).

Hope everyone is doing well

one super proud DAD (spooky)

Stef
