You could even put it in your member's profile. Just as in ladies personal ads, a pretty picture gets lots more responses from guys

Sorry gang, I have not noodled through posting pics on this thread, or the photo gallery. I will be happy to e-mail serious potential buyers with pics from the build at Unique, to the finished car. Or the car is listed and pictured on the Cobra Country website under cars for sale.

Fred,
2,500 miles and you have given up on your dream, or did you go with the guys out to the Kirkhams?

I hope you are at our meeting in Georgia in less than a month Cobra or no Cobra.

Dan,

Since you are not too far down the road from me, then you know how great our weather has been lately. My car is running SO well, that I've had it out almost every day for the past few weeks. Great fun to say the least!! Thank god the troopers who have been pulling me over have all been car freaks...two of them have reminded me that over 25 miles an hour over the speed limit is a trip to jail. So far no jail, no tickets, just a lot of questions about the car. My dream is alive, however, I'm coaching one son's baseball team and the other son with tennis, my wife wants to travel, and ALL I want to do is drive my Cobra. For the sake of family unity, I'm going to set my dream on hold for a little while and revisit it later when the boys are in college. Besides, it might just keep me out of jail...for now! I'll be in Atlanta at the DSSC gathering. Really don't care if I sell or not, the car is beautiful and I love driving it.

Fred

Family first, so I wish you luck on your sale. See you in McDonough in April, don't bring the cops. It is hard to keep your foot out of it.

Fred,
Sorry to hear your selling. I wish the best for you and unity for your family. Moderation is a tuff with a Cobra. Good luck!

Okiesnake,

Thank you for your sentiments. As I mentioned to Dan, there is really no over bearing pressure for me by my family to sell my pride and joy. My wife and I went on a long ride today in the gorgeous Florida sunshine and had a ball. She really likes the Cobra too, and there is a glimmer in her eye when I wind it up and we are going past the 100mph mark with the smooth control and safety of a Unique chasis/suspension! If some individual wants to take advantage of not having to wait for six months to have the thrill of owning one of these pearls, then I would be willing to sell at what is a fair price for a great running and beautiful Cobra. In the mean time, I continue to enjoy every ride that I take, which is almost daily. Hearing from guys like you with continued support makes it even better.

Fred
