Default PRIORITIES.....Where can I fit a hoist????

Help me....I'm losing it!!

I know that being a "Cobraphile" is an all encompassing sickness, and I know I spend WAY too much time messing about with the cars, and not giving my full attention to other mundane activities such as WORK...but I need to face the fact that I might have a SERIOUS dose of "Cobra-itis".

I/we recently bought a small warehouse because we needed more room for our growing business, and I know that I should have been exited about having the room we desperately needed for the business, but all I could think about was...YES.....I CAN GET A HOIST !!!!

Up until now, I had an arrangement with a very kind Warwick Harrison, whereby I could keep the racecar at his COBRA KITS warehouse, and come and grab it whenever I needed it , but this was going to be brilliant being able to keep my race...er...."promotional vehicle" at the new place.

My lovely wife could see no reason why I NEEDED to move the race car over to the new place, but kindly agreed just as long as it was a "clear floor" hoist, and we could move pallets etc. around underneath it through the day.

I had a win !!!

Now....the reason I should admit to the "sickness" is because the FIRST thing I did when we got the new warehouse a couple of weeks ago, was go and get the racecar, and work out where I wanted it...THEN once I was happy with all of that, I then had to work out if it was going to be possible to fit all of the "work stuff" in !!

Luckily....it all fits, and now looking forward to a few club gatherings where I can roll the work stuff out of the way, fill the beer fridge,chuck some snags on the b.b.q. ( another thing we NEEDED at the new place), get the V8 super cars racing on the new plazma ( another thing we NEEDED at the new place ) and get a few of the Cobras over to stick them on the hoist for some general maintenance, and an excuse to get together.

I'm a happy chappy........I've already spent a number of late nights at the new place...music belting out, and tinkering with the cars...it's brilliant!

Now.....

I suppose I'd better get to .....yuck !! Work.

Regards,
Warren.
