Passed Rego!
Well today was yet another fantastic Cobra day...I got through rego without a hitch!
I must say that I was a bit nervous driving the cobra down to the inspection yard, but I have to say that the inspectors were fantastic...there was so much interest in the car, that about half the boys in the office came out to check out the car! At one stage, there must have been 8-10 guys checking out the Cobra and asking all sort of questions! The LS7 caused a bit of a stir as it was the first LS7 any of the guys had seen and at one stage there was a bit of confusion with 3 inspectors in a huddle discussing whether or not a 7 litre motor was street legal...an explanation by me about it being a new crate motor and identical to the motor that is in the new W427 commodores followed by a telephone call from the inspector to one of his colleagues resolved the confusion!
Apart from getting the car rego'd...driving the cobra around for the 1st time was unbelievable....I couldn't stop grinning! I'm still grinning! It was a beautiful day, the sun was out, I clocked up about 120 kms got sunburnt, but had an absolute ball!
It's everything I've been anticipating for so long and more...
Regards......Paul
