Then everyone got "Real Busy."

The fliers and phone calls didn't seem to interest local Cobra owners to participate in frequent coffee klatchs (Within a hour from this area) and occasional trips to visit all the great places here in Southern Oregon...

Either I don't have a handle on how to interest the local Cobra owners (There are about 12 around here) or I don't shower enough.

To boost my needed fix on fun seat time, I go to a fair amount of shows both local and on the "Coast", take many solo drives and enter interesting local poker runs and cruises.

Unfortunately, I don't see many Cobras at those events.

If anyone is interested in Cobra cruising or getting together locally for coffee and kicking tires feel free to contact me at: 65Cobra1@charter.net.

Thanks,

Hello 65Cobra1,

Have you met any of the Cascade Cobras? I know many of the folks go to Medford yearly and play at the track.

Find a nice little coffee shop and get one or two other cobra owners to join you once a month, before you know it others will start to show up at the mini meetings. It really helps if you and the others frequent the same forum and post often. Post pictures of your gatherings and show people you are doing things around town. Use the Northwest region too on this forum and ffcobra, you will find out we have some members on them from the Medford and surrounding areas also.

Good luck....
Don't give up.
