Fred Fred Fred. And you wonder why i am always shaking my head.......
thank GOD i am not
that blonde anymore.
well Flip.....
i picked it up a couple of weeks ago, and it did the SAME THING on the way home from the shop.
Fortunately David was following me home in his truck, and in the MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION where it died he could run back to me and PUSH the car to a corner of a very questionable neighborhood where i stood and waited and watched two men come up to the car and i thought they might just try to steal it and i guess i'd just watch them steal it rather than die protecting it with nothing.... so David arrived with the truck/trailer in tow and i loaded the precious thing right back in and took it back to Rob....
welllllll a few days later it was 'all fixed' with an 'ignition module' i happened to have that Gary had given me when i bought the car and SUPPOSEDLY that fixed it.... but what about that carb??? and..... 'they' drove it around for 45 minutes +- and well it didn't die... but... i went back up there with the truck/trailer on Thursday to retrieve it as i wasn't going to AGAIN be stranded and especially as there are two major highways i must traverse to get to shop.... and so i unloaded it Thursday and pulled it in the garage and there he sits..... waiting for me to find the time to drive it around MY NEIGHBORHOOD for a GOOD LONG WHILE while i 'test drive' it and see if it dies...... i have lost a bit of confidence thinking it might be fixed and don't consider it 'road worthy' for a long cruise with the Dallas group etc. until i am certain i won't AGAIN be left stranded. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
carb???? hmmmmmm ignition module? hmmmmmmm
not sure.
Rob has been at SEMA all week and won't be back at the shop til tomorrow or Tuesday. He has a lot on his plate tho' and i'm not sure i want to deal with the Cobra right this minute or that HE wants to deal with MY Cobra right this minute.
That's where i am. Pepe stuck in the garage because i'm too busy right now.
thanks for asking.
