Default How Long have you Owned your Cobra?

How long have you owned your present Cobra? I have owned my NAF for two years and one month. If you are on your second (or third, or more) Cobra, HOW LONG have you been a Cobra Owner?

About 3 years since I bought the first one.

Recieved my Kirkham just about a year ago. Had the Butler for about four and one-half years before that.

Had the unknown car for about 5.5 years and the Kirkham for about 3 weeks. Doesn't matter the brand or model, it's just nothing but fun in these things!!!

I took delivery on my FFR Spec Racer July 4th 2002 and finished it in December 2003. I've not been able to race it yet and have only had it out on the street twice since completing it!

Can't wait to get it on a track sometime soon.

My next Cobra will be a Kirkham if I can raise the funds.

After years of planning, I bought mine on 4/02; unfortunately, in July 03 another car hit me back right while changing lanes, I took a spin at around 50 mph and ended (luckily) with the right door around a tree - got out with minor scratches, but the car looked like a banana. Took till 10/03 to be back on the road (in a cobra), the summer fun was gone; but what the heck, I survived!.

Took delivery on December 1, 2002, so one year, three months, three weeks or so. As of yesterday, I have 10,200 miles on it but that'll change today if the rain holds off!

Default How long have you owned a cobra?

Purchased mine July 1982. Had it on the road around May
of 1983. The modifications continue today. I don't know if you can ever call it finished. Its now part of the family.
