Who drives your Cobra?

Great excuse. I just put my cobra on the road and I have been asked a couple of times. It is an extremely uncomfortable feeling when I get asked that question. One wrong move and the ass end is in front of you, I know none of my buddies can replace or even afford to fix the car.

I dont want to be an ass and just say no, but the insurance thing is perfect.

That is my new story and I am sticking with it!

Not a story with most collector car policies. Its a fact. Somebody other than me damages the car while driving it and I get NADA, ZIP, ZILCH.

Don't be so uptight. It is just a replica.

Don't have kids, so can't comment there, but my wife can drive it as much as she likes. Family members are also welcome to drive it. It's there to be used and enjoyed.

But it still cost more than any other car I have ever owned ... and it was a USED car when I bought it!

I am with you Tony, It is only a replica and it is built to be driven.

I have told plenty of mates they are welcome to drive it, but they also understand that they are up for repair costs if damaged.

But first I have to finish it.

I let most friends have a drive, even let some mates take it on the track. One mate will no longer be doing that after exploding my motor at Winton raceway in May
