My Lifelong Dream!!
 
Hello Everyone
It finally happened! I purchased a 2005 Superformance MKIII Cobra last week and I'm happy as hell about it. It's being picked up today by transport from out west (Canada) I guess it will arrive next Monday or Tuesday. Needless to say I CAN'T WAIT!!!

It's SPO #1950, Roush 402R, 515hp, Titanium Silver / Black Stripe. Car is in fantastic condition with only 1700 miles on it.

I can't wipe the grin off my face :D

Stu.

The grin will only get worse when you drive it.

Congratulations.

Stu,
You are going to love it!! The only thing I can equate it with would be... when I first got my drivers license and before I had my own car, I would constantly ask my parents if they needed me to go get something for them just for a chance to drive.
Much like then, driving is once again a thrill. Now you will be asking yourself, "Where can I drive the Cobra today?" Enjoy.

Congratulations Sawdust :cool:
Enjoy your trips to Big Shute, Balla & all the other great spots for day trips in your area.
I day trip to that area 5-6 times a year & will be up there soon, IF it ever stops raining :mad::mad:

One of the things I noticed when I got my car is that I found new routes to places I normally go to. Going to the grocery store which is about a half mile away can take 20 minutes on the new improved route that is now 5 miles. I once found myself taking and alternate route of 120 miles to a shopping area that's 18 miles from my house. The routes are out there you just have to look for them. Gives new meaning to "creative".
Congrats on the new toy. Given enough time you'll become as strange as the rest of us.

Nice color choice...;)

Congrats !

Owning & driving a Cobra should be on everyone's list of "Have to Do's".

Sawdust 05-26-2011 05:20 PM

Thank you to each of you. I know that first drive just might be a very long one :)
Being a "newbie" I know I'm going to have many questions. I found out today it won't be delivered till the end of next week :(

Craig, please drop me a note when you are up in my area. I would love to cruise with you!

Stu.

Well worth the wait.

Congratulations Stu !

p.s
Sorry I haven't posted any pics or tales of my AZ/BJ trip . Tried to when I first got back , but pics wouldn't load . Then life caught up with me and I havent spent much time on CC .

Cheers
Sonny

Sawdust 05-27-2011 04:16 AM

SPO1715, Sweet ride you have..... There's something about Silver and Black :)

Sonny, no need to apologize. As long as you had a blast that's all that matters!

One good thing about waitinf for the car to arrive is I have tons of time to plot out rides!

Congrats Stu, Be prepared for 30 min. fill ups and anywhere else you may stop as the car draws lots of accolades from Cobra fans! Great color choice too!

Sawdust 05-27-2011 12:08 PM

Glenn
Thanks for the reminder about 30 min. fill ups etc, etc, etc, To be honest I hadn't really thought about it that much.......... I'll still be smiling :)

Stu.

That feeling will last forever. The cobra experience is only just beginning.

Be careful and enjoy!!

zzmac 05-27-2011 01:12 PM

Sawdust 05-27-2011 01:32 PM

Thanks for the words of wisdom guys, much appreciated!!

zzmac - How do you like your 402R?
