San Diego?

[PaulProe]

Is there anything Cobra related an owner should see while in the San Diego area?

Hillbank in Irvine?

Other shops, stores?

I know there are a trove of things to do, I am looking specifically for Cobra related stuff

Thanks

Paul

Paul,
Every time I'm down to see my sisters in Cardiff/San Diego, I make a post to sync up there with Cobra folks. I was just down there two weeks ago, including driving on Highway1, How cool it is.

Here is an old thread of replies:
San Diego area Club Cobra / Shelby members?


Also, my sister and her husband frequently comment about "Thursday Nights" at Encinitas indiciating a few Cobras will show up there along with all the Woodies, so maybe you can check there on the main drag into town.

Encinitas car show is done for the year. So is Escondido.

Symbolic usually has some cool cars, sometimes a Cobra or two.

Paul, My daughter lives in La Jolla so I had a desire to check out Cobra and Corvette activity in San Diego(I own a 65 f.i. and am looking forward to an alternative fuel Cobra). I came across the following: First Sat. of every month.
Meet at Starbucks parking lot 2245 Fenton Parkway, San Diego, CA 92108 at 8am.

We "meet & greet, cruise and eat"

All Corvettes, and any AC Cobra...real or replica...roadsters or Daytona coupes

Yep the Mission Valley gang is getting together this Saturday about 8:00 am. A ride through the hills will finish up with lunch at one of the members homes up in Ramona.

All Corvettes, Cobras, Daytona's and GT40's welcome to join the cruise. If you don't have yours with you there are always plenty of empty passenger seats.
