We started our trip to New Britain at 930am and it was still pretty cold. My wife has put up with me and my "Red Headed Mistress" and has always been a good sport. I think that maybe I was pushing my luck this morning. We pulled into the shop yard and noticed a marked absence of any ERA sign. Peter tells me that they are still saving to buy just the right one.







Peter was in the office and on the phone but made time to show us around and look up the old records on our car. Jo fell in love with a Wine with ghost stripe 427 car that was bound for France. There were several very nice cars in various stages of build. Jo found the cut away car very interesting and got some good pictures.









Peter had us bring the car in and Doug put it up on the lift and went over the car for a quick safety check. Everyone was impressed with how well the old girl has held up after 30 years. Bob came by and commented on how good the welding job was. Peter explained to us that Bob had done the welding on the first 4 or 5 cars.









Peter took us to lunch and Doug put a set of new door latches on the car. We then let the ERA crew go back to work and headed back to East Lyme. We got back and loaded the car in the trailer and tucked everything away for the night. This was the last stop on our Cobra pilgrimage and tomorrow we will start our trip south.
