Well, things went great today. We had 12 Cobras, started at Ed's house and did a cruise up through Dade City and back. Lots of twisty, curvy roads and very little traffic. The sky was clear and the temp was perfect. Unlike Atlanta, long after the traffic lights turned red, the other cars at the intersection would wait until our whole procession had passed through before cars started moving. I was impressed. A bunch of nice cars: Midstates, SPF, another Unique, Backdraft Racing and others. Some of the trip took us through orange grove country and the trees are in bloom. The smell of the blossoms as we passed was awesome. Having forgotten our cameras, my brother Scott and I broke off from the group to come back by the house. We ended up around 10 miles or so behind the pack by the time we got back on the road. We were hauling butt down the country roads, big spanish moss laden oaks on both sides of the road. We caught up with the pack in Dade City and blasted back with group. I felt like I was riding with 11 SVOBuds. We laid rubber after every stop. Lots of open country, smooth roads, sharp turns, long straights. It was certainly worth the trip down. This is definitely a great place to own a Cobra.
