Tops Stiff!!!

Those photos look as though they were taken at Warwick's place.

How long before she will be on the road?

I wouldn't worry too much Stiffy. They're Queenslanders so it'll probably be illegibile anyway. Crayon doesn't work real well on fiberglass either.

Cheers

I was going to say 'I don't believe it unless there are photos' but Stiffy has even posted photos.

Stiffy it looks dam good even now. If you don't want it send it my way. She doesn't have to look like Jennifer for me to be impressed. Actualy it will look even better with a Ford under that impressive flip bonnet.

P.s> The first wife was not impressed when I showed her the NEW COBRA all Cobra owners need!

Congrats, you sound like a very proud father.

Default Who knows

Richard,

COLOUR, not sure but definately a light colour. The wheels and tyres will be the same as pictured.

Leeroy,

I was the first!!! I am not going to stir anybodies poridge

400TT,

If it wasn't for Dru's car at the Nationals I would still be happy with the Cobra.

The fun starts now, so many things to do and so little time..

Hey Stiff, you have me pumped looking for engines for my dream Daytona and I was thinkin just how much is an 'exotic' engine worth? A few ebay searches later and I came up with this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...QQcmdZViewItem

Now that would be something different in Australia.
