Hi All,
Interesting conversations here. I must say I took a back seat to the discussion, but I will say this. The History of the AC Shelby Cobras is the true passion. If we could all afford a real one I'm sure we'd get one. I know I would and then I could retire down south and live like a king after I sold it.
The passion for the cobra is what makes our replicars so fun regardless of make.
(Keeping in mind the real cobras of the 60s could also have been considered composite vehicles) AC British chassis design, German engineering Salisbury rear end, VW steering columns, American Ford Engines, as well as any fabrication for racing. Sounds familiar with all our cars.
And as you guys know, I love to drive mine. I like to plan two rides, One as a kick off early in the season and one towards the end. I like the Gillette Castle Mohegan Sun Ride myself and because I like this ride personally, When I plan this ride my thinking is about how others can enjoy the ride and have a nice time. If people cant show, I just enjoy the ride with my wife or one of my co-pilots.
The CT Cobra Club would be an awesome idea. And, each member can contribute by planning a different route to ride and take turns once its established. Some people have knowledge of different ares of the state. For me, I would not have seen a 1/2 of the state if it wasn't for these rides. I never knew CT could be so pretty at times.
Anyway,: by all means get those last rides in, the white stuff will be here before we know it.
