ET, you a down-hiller? I dig your GT as well as the Cobra! In one of your pics you asked which was faster; well I'd have to say that that would depend on the course! LOL I didn't think that there'd be to much DH stuff in FL. I raced a San Andreus when I lived in TX, now in south GA I ride road mostly. Just about the only game in town for cyclists.

hey Steve, Yes I am a downhiller. I am currently in NY about 20 minutes away from Diablo freeride Park, but I mostly have riden XC for the past 14 years. I most say though if you are in Georgia and haven't riden in the Ellijay area you are missing out. I don't know if you still ride Mountain bikes but if you do the cuple hour trip north for you would be well worth it. I took many trips to that area including Tsali in NC and can't wait to get back. Let me know if you still ride off road and would like any info, i'll be happy to pass it on to you. Take care,Eric

Eric, we've been thinking about going to the Ellijay area but haven't as of yet. Last fall we went to Tsali for a few days and it was great! I still ride MTB, but where I am is almost in FL. The drive to the mountains is more than just a couple of hours, which kind of sucks. But what can I say, this is where the job is. Between me, my wife and my youngest son we have 7 bikes in the house, 11 if you count frames to. You could say that we're a little into it. LOL If you know when you're going back to Tsali let me know. That would be great. BTW, your Cobra is beautifull.

Nice looking Cobra.

Does it have the M3 option for supension...drilled rotors, positraction...ect?

Soft top color and side curtains?

E.T. · #9 (**permalink**) 07-05-2006, 01:00 PM

Not sure about the M3 pakage, I was never sure about that and i recently inquired to Reg at BDR re: that and have not heard back yet. I am assuming not to be on the safe side, but it handles like no other car I have driven including a Porche 930(and it's much faster too boot) . i do know that the rotors are not vented. It has an open rear end (BMW, have never heard of one breaking yet). Top is black and perfect condition and it does have the side curtains(windows). It really is a great car, very reliable, and if I don't sell it for fair value it will stay in the family. thanks for the interest and the compliment, Eric

Eric,
I got to see Eric's car at a local cruise and it indeed is a knockout.
The paint job is fantastic and the interior and engine compartment are well taken care of, I spoke with Eric briefly.
Good Luck with the sale Eric!!
