Santa Cruz 7/25??
I was in my daily driver heading to the gym and I pulled up behind ~6 cobras making a U turn on Ocean st at water st. Any one have an idea who that was and where they were heading. I have been meaning to take my cobra out but would prefer to hang with other cobras

The line "who are those guys?" from Butch Cassidy comes to mind.
No idea who they are.
I was over the in Santa Clara Valley today and saw a silver/black Cobra in Los Gatos pulling in to the Starbucks near Hwy 85. I waved to the guy, but he kind of looked surprised...like he was looking in a mirror.

Might of been one of the guys from the south bay heading over to SC for breakfast or lunch. I forget; I was talking to someone about this on Friday but I was at Tour de Vin.

It wasn't our splinter group....we went to see Tanks in Woodside.

I think the tours are limited to something like 25 people, which makes sense since there are a lot of questions and the tanks are packed into 4 buildings.
Btw - We had a great tour guide who kept talking until he had to pick up the next group at 1:00 pm. Also thanks to Jeff for coordinating the event.

I concur ... great place to visit. I have been on the tour several times now, and each visit I see / learn something new. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable with a good blend of facts about the tanks, what their counter part was on the 'other side', and how it all fits together from a historical perspective.
The founder (Jacques Littlefield) passed away earlier this year, but evidently there is a Trust in place to keep the collection together. They have started asking for a $20 donation to help offset operating expenses.
If you ever went to the Bill Harrah's Automotive collection before it was broken up, it's a lot like that ... except with much bigger vehicles ... and most of them have really big guns!!!
