Wasting your time
 
I apologise in advance

the camera work is crappy
the resolution is very low
it takes 5meg of your valuable download allocation
and 3:46 of your life to watch

its 1min on how to build a cobra and 2mins of me trying to capture a lap at winton during the shake out

dont look

also - I haven't figured out how to embed a video :(

I enjoyed it. Great stuff Michael. I hope to be able to post my own lap of Winton video some day soon.

Cheers

I liked it too. I like the track as well (lots of run off - just in case). Music didn't suck either. Have fun.

Gotta love a Cobra video with music by The Dandy Warhols...

Loved every minute of it. Makes me want to get to Winton for a blast.

A great piece of history for you in years to come.

Well done mate!!! The best part was driving the bare bones chassis on the dirt road. I could just 'feel' the thrill of that first ride and it sure brought back some memories of 'my first time'. :D

Bloody excellent irrespective of the quality and typo at the end.

But it worries me that the celica you were chasing wasn't being caught too fast, I do remember your previous post description of driving skills or was it the big block stuffed in that little car that was causing you some grief??

Just kidding of course and who cares anyway, I too am envious and can't wait to try a hot lap myself.

Keep on tinkering.

Oh and by the way got any club events you can go to yet?

Cheers

Beejay 02-07-2007 01:49 AM

That was fantastic!

LoBelly 02-07-2007 01:59 AM

you are all very kind, thankyou.
my first go at that sort of thing

slowy - the Celica is my nephew, I'll get him to come to ShelbyFest Stephen and you can show him how its done ;)

The day was mostly to check out the car and any issues - big one is cooling, although it was over 30c - will try shrouding the radiator.

I think the power could be better too - measured the gross cam lift and have .425 on inlet which is about standard, so in a 289 I expect thats only going to get me a couple of hundred hp if everything else is in top shape - will address the power later - doing my sums on fix/replace etc.

LoBelly,

Certainly was not a waste of time. That was fantastic **) **)

stiffy 02-08-2007 02:07 AM

Great stuff Lobelly,



Just one thing, could you have overtaken the Celica:D
