What's the best drive you've ever had in a Cobra?

[Fred Douglass]

Speedf,
I now (1/20/03) have an amendment---it's no longer rammin' around in Rick Long's superb Contemporary---it's driving from LA to Fresno in Jerry Goddard's Bimmer 7 (ah-h-h-h-h, helluva car, helluva a guy!) to Fresno, to deprive (legally) Jamo of his first (I think) Cobra---to make room in his garage for the Coors Can Special.....NOW IN THE COBRA!!!!! First time driving one! from Fresno to Paso Robles on 41 (JAmes Dean memorial at Cholame(?)---out to Rte. 101, down to SLO (Jerry stays on business) and then ALONE---just yodling with glee to Carpenteria---up the hill on Rte. 150 to Ron Butler's shop in Ventura. Left the car there, took Ron's loner van each night to Carpenteria, then back up the hill each day (1/15-1/19) to nuke through the hills above the coast and east to Ojai. Didn't have the time to go through to Ventecapa via Rte 33. Next time. Every minute I drove, my face felt like I was holding it over a pot of vinegar---the smile muscles were so stretched. Cobra................Behold ye Mortals, the God of Cars!!!

PeteC,
You may be right---though I believe you will see that Cadillac is farther from Bah Hahbah than Battie is from Camden...you WILL, of course do me the honor of a visit----please check my Gallery site (or better) the Christmas cards I sent Jamo. Five Islands Maine is one of the prettiest towns on the coast (it was in the Acura "chowdah" ad). I am having an on-again-off-again* 100th anniversary Jamboree. 8-10 beds indoors, unlimited tenting space in deep woods HARD BY the ocean coast. You are most welcome! I will cook lobsta galore (no roasts, unless requested). Gimme a shout. I'll site Jamo as a "character" reference...
