Guys, thanks for the comments. You're making me blush...
In my first post, I tried to make sure people saw that the car's age and far from perfect appearance were things that I love about the car, rather than something to hide from.
Wazza, you're a classic!!! A few of us were commenting the other day about how your black Cobra simply never showed any sign of ageing despite all the years and miles. We expect nothing less from your incredible new car!
