I got hooked on the Cobra when those Coca-Cola competition ones came out.

What got me started on my own Cobra build was when the wife and kids (3 boys) and I were driving along and one of the boys noticed a Cobra go past in the opposite direction and pointed it out to me.

I then muttered "My life's dream is to build one of them one day when I retire". One of my son's then say's "well why don't you now?", also to my surprise so did the missus.

That night I was on the Interweb and the rest is history.

Finance-wise the boys were finishing school so the fees were disappearing which helped a lot.

It was a great father-son bonding experience and they boys pitched in where they could. Even got the missus to hold a few bolts in place whilst I was under the car doing them up etc.

I put myself down as "Professional" as I am in IT like Modena.

I did start out in Electronics Engineering doing Industrial Robot Repairs and AC/DC Drives for Paper Mills and Steel Mills.

Then this thing called the Internet was invented and the rest is history.

This has been an interesting thread to find out the different paths we have all taken.

cheers
