Also I am wondering about the glowing report of the 50 page manual that is "very useful"

Thumbs up

Thanks guys, but you are all starting to confuse me on which shape is what. I think Craigs idea of taking piccies of the different bodies at the Nationals is a great idea. I just want a Cobra...I thought I had it narrowed down to CR or a DRB, then I swung over to a Harrison or DRB.
I have to say though that Ian at CR has helped quite a bit with his answers to my questions and seems willing to email replies very quickly. DRB send out a lot of info as well. I am really looking forward to November and meeting Craig and a tour of the Cobra places around the Gold Coast and meeting a few of you guys at the November CLub meeting.

regards

Mick

Mick, the only sad thing is that I doubt you won't see a single CR at QLD Breakfast. We only have one in the club and it's the same old CR that David Samson built. It's rare to see it now.

Although Ian's CR product is good, it's pretty difficult for him to compete on home turf of Harrison and DRB. Especially when both of these manufacturers are so strong in their support & participation of local club. Actually both support club at National level as well, especially Warwick Harrison who will attend & compete at both Shelby Fest & Nationals this year, now that's enthusiasm.

Same goes for all the other brands. Expect to see a few old RMC's. We have a few Robnells in the club, but you don't see them often either.

Totally agree.

The Harrison is a better choice anyways.

Default Deep Dish

Gotta luv deep dish



My Cobra is a RCM (not to be confused with RMC or RC) made by Laurie Bongailas. RCM's are common in Vic but I don't think any have left the state. Btw the rear end is a shortened and beefed up Jag rear
