Hi Ron,
Do you think it would be easier to get together a group of various cars rather than stick to Cobras?

After all, the goal here is to have some fun taking cruises, going to shows and just having coffee together every week or so.

Sounds like us in Hawaii - 3 to 6 Cobras at a show, sometimes just have a
dinner at one of our houses - we hosted Thanksgiving this year - we are all
empty nesters and are kindred souls so it is great. Also help each other on
cars - you name it - informal - no rules - perfect.

Guys,
I truly appreciate the input...It shows me that I was trying to be too big too soon...Perseverance is the answer.

I'll just keep pushing and being visible...Bound to run across someone else to get the ball rolling. As Dwight said, "It just takes two."

Thanks, Ivan

Hello Ivan,

Checking in. This post you made was back in November of 2008. Were you able to get any folks together this season in Southern Oregon?

I have a few Cobra/car buddies seriously looking to relocate to Southern Oregon. Being around Cobras, cars, and meetups, and drives are a must for them too.

Were you able to finally get Cobra folks in Southern Oregon out to meet up and drive their Cobras, or did they go fishing instead so far this year?

Ivan,

Don't give up. Ernie will be bringing his Cobra up there one of these days and I am sure he would like to get together with you. He is still getting settled into his house in Medford. When we had the Cobra group here it was fun, but then they just all sold their cars and went off in various directions. So when I feel up to it I take the 69 out and drive with the one or two cobras left and some other old muscle cars. At the peak of our group we had around 50 Cobras and Curt Scott from Cobra Country came up one weekend and took a lot of pictures. I don't know if he still has them on his site or not but they were listed under Emersons Bash By The River or something like that. Also the TV Show, World of Collector Cars spent a full dy here filming us and riding in all of the Cobras. They showed it on 3 different weekends, one hour segments. My small time as a TV star.
