Default First Year on the Road - Impressions

Getting ready to finish up the first driving season in my Cobra. Kind of depressing but I already have a list of minor winter projects for it. What a blast it is to drive it as I'm sure you're all aware of.

I do plan on driving it through the winter if we can get some 40 degree and dry days around here.

Put a little over 900 miles on it (hope to get more next year), been to 8 car shows, take it to church quite often and a number of cruise's on Saturday nights. Still can't believe the attention the car gets! Had many bikers wave or give me the thumbs up, wasn't expecting that! The word "fun" comes to mind when people ask me to describe driving it.

During the season, I met two other Cobra owners in the area, one of them has a yellow one with a 514 in it, what a beast! The other guy is building an FFR & hoping to have it finished in spring.

The problems I had so far were: broken rocker arm stud, bad starter and had to replace a brake caliper. Not too bad for the first season on the road. When I first got it on the road, my confidence in it was lacking but now I'll take it just about anywhere.

Also want to thank all of you that helped answer the questions I've had since I joined the forum, you guys were a big help.

Can't wait for spring!!!

Randy
