The world gets smaller and smaller Paul. I was in a place called John Cannon House. As I recall the cemetery was not that far away and there were some famous people buried there - Dame Nelli Melba?

Noooo Gregg. It was an enforced stay in Melbourne, even though Hawthorne was my team. I even used to drive back to Brisbane for long weekends! However, Melbourne is my favourite city in Australia still. We had a brilliant Cobra run, about 12 of us in the hills in the Sunshine Coast hinterland today. Best time of the year.

I am envious of you guys now - Melb is still a bit cool but we have had a couple of sunny days this weekend but I was out so couldnt go for a little spin. I havent been down the Great Ocean Road yet, but have driven the Mornington Penninsula a fair bit and there are some good roads down there. I am going to try and make the Nationals this year, so am looking forward to meeting a few more cobrafiles. Rgds Gregg

The Ocean Road would be great in a Cobra. However a trip to the Portsea pub could be nice as well.

Hi All,

Thought I'd say hello as I have been a long time thread reader but only registered recently.

Anyone from Adelaide a member?

I am looking to make the leap into owning a cobra soon so may have questions to ask (mid life crisis purchase) but am thinking of taking the easy route first before building from scratch.

I travel for work a fair bit so may look to see if I can catch up when there are events interstate.

All the best.

Welcome Sean, this is such a great site with lots & lots of useful & useless information

You will love it. Don't know about the mid-life crisis though-I reckon that the term was coined by some Pisxed ORF Shelia not happy with her old actually doing something he wanted to do for a long time. Mine told all our friends that I was having one when I started on mine. I just smiled a lot and finally explained to all that if I was having a crisis she'd be GONE & I'd be on a Harley with a chickie babe

So once again welcome to the site, join the local club and enjoy the journey.

How much would you crap your pants.
Not really what you'd expect when accelerating to 203 mph. [VIDEO]

A little foggy this morning.

And it is so thick, even the birds cant fly.

Glad to see that you didn't overstate the situation 'Box

Could hardly see the Galah's on the old Hills hoist mate

Xmas in July group was away this weekend...... drove up the Brisbane Valley, Wivenhoe dam, and Esk, then across to Toowoomba yesterday.
When we arrived we couldn't see 100 metres.....Toowoomba was in the clouds...as thick as I've ever seen it.
BIG night...lots of fun, and a decent bar tab was reached.

Came back through Murphy's Creek, Lockyer, and Grantham...still a horrible mess after the flogging they got in the Jan/Feb Floods.....Just got home.

Wazza,

Had the Mustang Convertible out this week, as I thought it would be good to run some fuel through and put new fuel in. Whoa it was windy, raining and one with the lot including some flooding..

The only time the roof was down was in the basement garage. Then again it is winter.

Merv and Sharon · #15 (**permalink**) 07-17-2011, 04:34 AM

We had a good run on the Sunshine Coast today after some awful weather yesterday. No fog but lots of rain. We joined the Noosa Classic Car Club at the old Apollonian Hotel at Boreen Point on Lake Catharabah. We had about 15 there and some of the Cobras and 40's took centre stage among Mercs, Bristols, Arbaths, Ford GTs, Toranas, Triumphs, etc.

Pity you couldn't make the effort to get along to your club's function.

Merv and Sharon · #17 (**permalink**) 07-17-2011, 05:03 AM

Our daughter and son in law were up with us for the weekend and we wanted to do something local, as did a number of others here- not Club members. Christmas in July at Warwick was a bit far. No apologies warranted I believe. Hope you had a good time too. Thanks for the Christmas cheer Warren.

Wazza · #18 (**permalink**) 07-17-2011, 06:20 AM

Never used to be too far before we had a "Northern" chapter who don't seem to be able to support anything that's not within 20 klms of home.
Now drop it Merv.

boxhead · #19 (**permalink**) 07-17-2011, 06:55 AM

I dont think Merv started anything, all he did was let people know he had a nice driving weekend, just because he did not attend a club run that was on the same weekend doesnt warrant a please explain.
And people wonder why I dropped out of Cobra clubs.............

Mmmmm think as they say..."a little tongue in cheek,"
