The day finally came!!
Today, I am a proud owner of a registerred, street legal Midstates Cobra. It has been almost a year for the buiding process and all the fun associated with the completion of a Cobra. I am glad to see that there is still some summer and warm days left this year to enjoy the thrill of driving this car.
I hope to participate in some cruises here in CT shortly and meet local cobra owners. :D |
Congrats!
Although I did not directly build mine - I did so much to it that required down time it felt as though I did and the feeling is awesome - enjoy!

Congrats, I just received mine from southern CA on the 28th of July. it needs paint and final assembly. Can't wait for Spring. Would like to hook up at that time for a cruise. I live in western MA.

There are some spectacular drives in Western Mass. Keep me posted on your progress so when the time comes, a drive through the Birkshires would be in order.:MECOOL:
Good luck. and enjoy the build experience, there's nothing like it. Gene |
Hey gfridland:
I know some great roads here in Connecticut! Bob |
Now if we can retrofit pontoons instead of wheels we may actually get to drive our cars one day.

Bob in CT:
The reason I pushed so hard to get the car done was (I may be wrong) seeing a spf with your colors (your photo gallery) on the Merrit Parkway in the spring. I think that you got off onto either rt25 or 127, but that really pushed my adrenaline. It may not have been yours, but either way, I am finally on the road. The last week has not been the week for driving with all this rain, however, I have been going out around the block in between the raindrops. Thanks for the inspiration ( like I needed any more) Stush: Redding is so close, I can probably hear your car start up. Gene |
Hey Gene:
We were going to the cruise night in Monroe. Was the plate "COBRA"? Bob |
I believe it was, Bob. Where in Monroe is the cruise night?

gfridland,
Excuse me for interupting but every time I see a new owner post on this site I get to replay my excitement and enthusiasm I had when I first finished mine. Just an FYI: After almost 4 years the excitement is still there. I always get a rush everytime I turn the key and hear the snake come to life with that rumpty rump sound in stereo. I hope you have plenty of blue skies and mild temps to enjoy your new ride. Clois |
Thanks Clois, I can't wait to finally not have to worry about the weather while going for a cruise. Next week, it may be dry one or two days, unfortunately work gets in the way of daytime enjoyment.
There is nothing like the sound in 2nd & 3rd gears. Gene |
Oh yeah! And the sound of those pipes relaxing as we exit to an off ramp. I love these things, have fun Gene.

Hey Gene:
I find the cruise nights in BargainNews. Go to www.bargainnews.com then go to "Special Interest Vehicles", then go to "best shows", then go to "Connecticut". There is a terrific show at Lime Rock on the Sunday before Labor Day, lots of Cobras. This year I think it's on the 30th. If you're interested maybe some of us can caravan up there together (assuming good weather). Marcus Dairy also has a nice cruise on Saturday nights. Bob |
