I propose "you guys", which I will define as the most active members and owners in the region, work on a date and time that we can host a pizza party or whatever at the shop and get the Club idea rolling. It can be a Saturday, Sunday, or some evening after work ... happy to host that and help it grow. Don't need the Cobras there, just a planning session and think tank.

Bob and I have labored over the concept of getting participation in such a thing for years.

If you need some suggestions on guys to invite I think you can see by the posts on here who is the most involved. Would be good to get a guy like Don on board too since he is on top of the laws in the state and the bigger clubs.

Glad you like the shirt, it's a limited edition

Sounds great, count me in!

Hi All,

Interesting conversations here. I must say I took a back seat to the discussion, but I will say this. The History of the AC Shelby Cobras is the true passion. If we could all afford a real one I'm sure we'd get one. I know I would and then I could retire down south and live like a king after I sold it. The passion for the cobra is what makes our replicars so fun regardless of make.

(Keeping in mind the real cobras of the 60s could also have been considered composite vehicles) AC British chassis design, German engineering Salisbury rear end, VW steering columns, American Ford Engines, as well as any fabrication for racing. Sounds familiar with all our cars.

And as you guys know, I love to drive mine. I like to plan two rides, One as a kick off early in the season and one towards the end. I like the Gillette Castle Mohegan Sun Ride myself and because I like this ride personally, When I plan this ride my thinking is about how others can enjoy the ride and have a nice time. If people cant show, I just enjoy the ride with my wife or one of my co-pilots.

The CT Cobra Club would be an awesome idea. And, each member can contribute by planning a different route to ride and take turns once its established. Some people have knowledge of different ares of the state. For me, I would not have seen a 1/2 of the state if it wasn't for these rides. I never knew CT could be so pretty at times.

Anyway,: by all means get those last rides in, the white stuff will be here before we know it.

Good grief Jay, why the phuk do you drag me in to your crap? Bob and I went on a nice ride and lunch yesterday due the fact that we're on this forum together. Sounds like you may have tweaked someone else. Keep me out of this BS please.

Wow. Not that I'm looking to elongate this conversation further but hoped I could chime in on a few things. I just wanted to say I have had the privilege to not only meet but ride with a number people on this forum. I've met their spouses, children and even been invited to their homes. In all the miles I have put on my Cobra (and yes, no matter who makes it, to me they're ALL Cobras) some of the best have been the ones shared with other Cobra owners. I mean how awesome where those shots of those Cobras lined up along Rt 63 in Litchfield at the last FF run! You don't often see gatherings like that with other car groups and I know those are memories I won't soon forget!

I think it’s great that even with our colder climates, you can log onto ClubCobra and almost everyday see new posts under our NE forum. Lets keep that going; especially the ones where we're trying to get together with others for rides, cookouts, car shows or casual gatherings.

Lastly, please keep me posted as to if or when those interested want to get together to talk about getting the CT club going. I am centrally located in Middletown and would also be willing to host meetings as well (libations and cigars included LOL).

Mike.
