This always happens when your car's laid up in a bag and you can't drive to restaurants, oyster bars, haberdashers and the golf club...you know-COMPETITION driving.

The cherry on the top would be if Patrick buys Brent a case of Brad Penn oil and then posts the same Brad Penn letter he's posted about dozen times.  |

Brent, I like the street car idea. No hood scoop, oil cooler roll bar, or gas cap in the quarter. Where will you get a body like that? |

From a February 2010 thread where Brent and Patrick disagreed:

There are two handfulls of engine builders on Club Cobra. Ask them which they prefer.  |

Tell me, what are the selling points of a flat tappet cam? Would you risk a failure and lose horsepower just for a clackety clack noise? Please.

Know the feeling it was about 5 yrs ago my car was parked because the need for a custom built big inch Harley bug bit me hard.Now that the bikes are built and dailed in the Cobra is back on the road or will be once our record snow fall has melted.Have a new 1000cfm Davinci double pump carb needs a little tweak.

Yes, this will tide me over nicely until she comes out of the bag. Chas, you want me to buy you some caps for the air valves on your rims?  |

Hey Rod - why don't you offer to buy a set for Brent, that will add another set of wheels to your order and make it that much more likely to happen...
