Cool

Hi again Mrs Reptyl,

Yes it is indeed Yve. I'm writing from sunny Qld and the weather is still really great for driving. In summer it is too hot and I drive around with hat, gloves and long-sleeved shirt, and I'm not even going to church!!
Last week I drove the Cobra to the hairdressers for the usual touch-up [hair that is ] . I really am blonde you know. He watched me get out of the car and said I looked like a real tomboy.
There was no need for the blow-dry as I had another one as I drove along.

For any other females contemplating spending a lot of time in their Cobras, I suggest short hair. Even under a cap long strands escape and whip your eye-balls. And lots of sunscreen on the exposed bits, as you don't want to look like you could be your spouses mother.

TIPS FOR TRAVELLING LIGHT.
With a weekend away coming up this Saturday, it is important you don't take too many clothes. Firstly, there is the outfit to wear en route. Layers are recommended, as you can peel off the layers as it warms up. This is especially true when it is freezing cold in the early morning and gets hotter as you drive along.

Then there is the party outfit for the evening. This year it is Country and Western theme. Just call me "Dolly". Need room for boots and hat and costume----YEEHAA !! We are going to learn to line dance and bootscoot. I can hardly wait. But when I've had a few drinkies I can do anything!

But not too many drinks, cos on Sunday it's out to the racetrack with all them fellas. For this, we need racesuit, helmet,gloves and shoes. All this has to fit in the Cobra. But there is also Mr Flatchat
wanting to do the same things. Just as well he is taking his other car, the GT40, otherwise we would never fit all those things in for two people.[And you think there isn't much room in the Cobra boot--- the GT40 doesn't have one]

More insights into the life of a Cobra nut soon, Mrs Flatchat.
