Ok, time to put the Cobra away for the winter. I was planning on bringing this car to the Glen to do video of this weekends activity and get some rides around the track with experienced club members but could not get down to meet with senior McMahon and company as our home was broken into.

Some rather brave individual broke in at 4AM and got out of the house before I could shoot them. (Not very smart to break into an American's house in Canada, I do not share the view of firearms in the home that most Canadians do ). The scary part was that my 5 month old son, wife and I were home at the time! Of course, would you care to guess the only night in the last month the alarm was not turned on? The good news is that whoever broke in grabbed my wife's purse and ran out of the house before anything happened.

Back to the subject at hand, The Cobra was just at Legendary Motor Cars in Milton, Ontario for the Demon installation. The owner of the shop is Peter Klut (yes, the same person who does the Dream Car Garage show. He drove the car and commented that it was "very tight" and well done. He has a racing ORIGINAL 289 Cobra as well as having restored a dragon snake, Peter knows cars and Shelbys specifically. The name of the shop used to be the Shelby shop (don't think that more needs to be said here).

Just thought I'd bring this to the top and update other members on the status of the car.
