Earl,
Sounds as if you had an interesting day. Writing tickets. You are just going to have to take off one of these years and celebrate the birthday in another place where they can't get hold of you. :) Tru, The the 69 Torino Cobra is in the garage as I have no intentions of selling it. I need one fast car at least. The other one was there the last time I looked. Tempersture was 78 here yesterday and everyone but me was out mowing.I was busy trying to get paperwork organized. Have to take my older Pom to the vet in the morning, call the place about the home equity loan I applied for, and do a dozen other things if my nerves will hold out. Weather is supposed to be in the upper 70s and low 80s this week. Kristen, That is a great picture of the motor. Now where is the rest of the car? I am sure that he never brought just the motor. :D Ron :) |
I don't know Ron, those Texans are pretty crazy.
:LOL: |
Wow Mike,
Prepare for the worst. I never thought I would hear you call KRISTEN crazy. If you post count suddenly drops by 500 or so don't be surprised. By the way, according to a Govt. study Texans aren't crazy. They are just different in un-explainable ways. :LOL: :LOL: Ron :) |
Texans- Just a little different from us.
:LOL: :LOL: |
one more.....
for the whiner's.....
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...C00530-med.JPG :D and btw, he is removing the hood scoop as it was 'added' aftermarket, probably in '66 or '67!! |
Nice.............:D
|
Very nice to see one that hasn't been so over-restored it sort of loses something.
And I am not a whiner, but if you don't post more pictures I will hold my breath untilI turn blue. :D :3DSMILE: Ron :LOL: :JEKYLHYDE |
Good place to park...in the tow-away zone. :LOL:

Tru,
Weather report::: High of 78 yesterday. Already 60 at 7:30AM this morning on the way to a reported high of 84 this afternoon. A light breeze blowing. Lawns begging to be mowed. But first I have to watch the Busch race from Mexico. Then out comes the lawn mowers, my new Calif. legal weed whacker, and then I will sit and wait for someone to come along that will use them. :D :3DSMILE: Ron :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: |
So, ar you saying you are sitting back with a cold one to watch the race and damn the grass cutting with weed wacking????
Ohhh, I see how it is... slacker eh. :LOL: I'd do the same if I had an insterest in car racing. Weather sound nice, just waiting for it to get better here. Kristen, what does a timex make you think of? |
Your weather will be really nice around the first of April and ours will get really nasty. It always happens that way when they move the darn car show up to the first week of April. One year we had some snow during the show. A couple of years ago they had to haul people to the medical tent because of the 116 degree temperatures. Just never know around here what it is going to be like. I plan to go up and take some pictures as usual and droll over the super cars inside. Some of those cars they won't even alllow the tires to touch the floor, and they wheel them in with tire covers over them so they won't get any dirt on the tires. The owners have detail people that just spend the day making sure every spot of dust is immediately wiped away. Must really be a lot of fun to own carslike that. :)
Ron :rolleyes: |
Timex: takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'....
ps. all our cars of honor get to park in the tow away zone! Champp's loves us coming there for lunch. A couple of months ago the gt40 (replica!) got to park there..... oh, and the coupe was there the same day.... photo in gallery?? Dec., 04..... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...C00295-med.JPG |
Kristen,
Boy does your bunch have some beautiful cars. I love that GT-40. And the Coupe and the Original, and yours, and, and, and, on and on. Mike needs to make a trip down there to see those cars. Ron :) |
He has a 'standing invitation'. Fred's son, Josh is waaaayy into cars, like Mike, and they would have a great time together. My son, Peter, who is standing next to Josh in a photo at January's meet, isn't into them that much.... Josh wants to build his own gt40 someday. He's 14, like my son.....
If I had a 40, it would be in the gulf colors.... the coupe, in that princess blue, kinda faded blue color.... the 427? in Guardsman blue with Wimbledon white stripe!! :D |
The Gulf colors would be great. However to save all that work and painting to get it just right, why don't you just buy the original? :D :3DSMILE:
Kinda surprising to hear that your son Peter isn't into cars that much. I would have thought he would be driving you nuts to drive Pepe. Oh, well, maybe he will get into something sane like experimental airplanes. %/ Ron :JEKYLHYDE :) |
Or alien space craft.:LOL:
|
well, you see, it's son #2 I have to worry about.....
there is an original 'sort of' gulf colored gt40 on ebay... somebody else has posted about it on CC. I believe it's a continuation gt40??? I have a vintage slot car of a 40 in the gulf colors..... hope everybody had a nice, relaxing Sunday. K |
Erich got the first goal of the game today...YAHOO!!!
They won 3 to 1 over Redford. It was 53 degrees on the way to the game. Regular heat wave here. :rolleyes: Suppose to get three to six inches of snow on Tuesday. Go figure. Well, I may have to do something with the cobra, not sure what, but something. :3DSMILE: |
great news, Tru! #2 son had basketball tourney Friday. They lost to the this team during the reg. season, and ultimately that team won the championship.... guess it isn't soo bad to lose to the champions! They selected all-stars last night, and unfortunately he wasn't selected. :( He is really bummed. He was a 'shoe-in' by all accounts; guess not..... On to baseball for him.... #1, continues with indoor soccer.....
When does the season end? Sometimes it seems like we never end.... especially baseball. Getting geared up for Florida. Tinkerbell, here we come!!! What's the weather like, Earl? Bike week driving you crazy? I am pretty glad we won't be there at that time... I hope they are driving out of town as we drive in!! :) |
Weather has been beeeeeeautiful the last two days, sun shining and warm...supposed to rain mid week and then get good again...they aren't too bad...lot better than the race fans or spring breakers.................................
I took the first half of the day off and took the wife to brunch for her birth day, something I don't get to do too often. Had a fairly good day. CG are you gonna try and make a jaunt over to DB when you get to Florida?? Ron, stay out of that yard, the aliens might try and take ya away!! Tru, hope the weather holds out for ya. Mikie......stop thinkin.......................... |
