This is a great thread. It's very interesting to read how the desire to build or at least own a Cobra got everyone.

I am 44 but my average age is much younger . I started my pursuit of a Cobra in 1982. I wouldn't have believed this except I still have the brochures in their original envelopes with postmark dates.

For me I've been involved with my career for a long time and really had not been thinking about Cobras or any cars for that matter. Anyway one day my brother said, he was thinking about building a Cobra. I started asking him what he had looked at and told him what I had looked at some time ago. He told me everything he had been looking at was on the web and gave me the addresses so later that night I went and checked everything out.

It seemed at the time to be a snap decision but it wasn't, I had wanted to build a Cobra for a long time I had just forgot. Anyway looking at all the information brought the desire back and I was committed to building a Cobra. In fact at that time I couldn't see why I shouldn't build a Cobra. That was June 1998 and am nearing completion of the project and it has been a blast just building the car. I can't wait to drive it.

See you on the road,

-Irv
