Talking I can almost touch it!!

Hi all,
It's been a while since I've been on (you guys know the story - busy with work ). Any way here's the news. At 3.30 today a truck is going to arrive outside my house and it will be delivering 10 months of "hopes and dreams" . Thats right my body & chasis is finally arriving!!

YEE HAH!!!

That's excellent news!

It's a good feling to finally get your kit home.

Dont forget the compulsory "sitting in the bare body making broom broom noises" picture.

Cheers

It's Here!! For some strange reason though after looking at all of the awesome photos of the finished and near finished cobras that you guys own, all of the cars in the QLD club that I've seen and been in, my car with no sidepipes, no wheels, no engine, no nothing!! looks so much sexyer than any other cobra I've ever seen!!! -

Darryl
P.s you guys don't think I'm BIASED do you?

Talking

I'm useless when it comes to all this computer stuff- so I'll have to take some photo's and get my technically gifted friend ( otherwise known to you lot as mate! ) to put them on to show you.

Now to an important question - where do I get a sound track of a noisy cobra engine? I 'm already getting a sore throat from all my broom broom noises!!

Darryl

- mate ( Don ) Hope the trip over to pommy land went well and I'm glad you got back safe. Should see you in the shop some time next week.

Congatulations Tiler,

Isn`t it great to finally get it home.

Doesn`t matter where you are in the bulid process
no Cobra ever looks as good as your own.

Although it`s a bit hard to imagine sitting in a Cobra
at the moment because we are in Canada and it`s
currently MINUS 30.

Look forward to catching up with you when I get back.

Regards

Nick

Well done Darryl,

Good to hear that your dream is now a reality

Will you be out in it this coming weekend as we could meet up somewhere and go in convoy

Give me a call for any specific DRB issues that you may have in the future.

Just got back from NZ - what an amazing place to visit (south island) and guess what - not one Cobra to be seen!!!
