Yeah, I bought the Cobra early just before Mike Moylan sold his RMC company. I had three cars in the shed. I was restoring a 73 Mach 1 Mustang for my cousin and the cobra was stored in a tight spot. The shed was a total mess so i decided to clean up "Before I broke my neck falling over some thing" I was moving crap when I had one foot wedged between a car battery and the lawn mower and the other foot rolled on an air hose. I fell and sat flat on my arse. Didn't hurt...the fall was pretty slow as I landed against the Cobra and slowly sat on the floor. Then I looked at the right foot. It was 90 degrees to the left and still wedged between the battery and the mower. It looked really weird. So I stood up and removed the foot from the jamb and then manually put the foot back into it's correct position. It only hurt when I put weight on it....I had broken five bones in the ankle and became a test guinea pig for "Ultrasound Surgery" ...no cutting. Just manipulating whilst watching a 'Radar' screen. All fixed so I crawled around the shed with a giant 'Tight' cast and stuffed around with the cobra for a couple of months. I couldn't do too much heavy work but I made lots of measuring and planning. I didn't get the shed sorted either.
