FINALLY, my Cobra hits the road!

So after 'only'7 years I finally got my Cobra titled and registered yesterday.

I bought the car in the UK back in 2002 and moved it to Ireland where some assembly took place. I then moved to the US and the poor thing sat in a barn in Tipperary for 5 years. It made the trip to Florida last summer and I have spent the last few months finishing it.

The gals at the Vehicle Licensing Office were angels and I now have my Gardner Douglas on the road.

The five years spent in Ireland have taken their toll and I will be removing the body this coming summer to get the frame powder coated again but the focus now is to put some miles on it.

You might say I am somewhat happy!

Where are the pictures? Dont worry to much about the paint, dirve it and enjoy it while you can.

Thanks a million for the link Dan.

I plan to spend a little time this weekend putting on a few local miles and ironing any kinks out. If it looks like being reliable enough I will certainly look to take part.

mpanten, I will pop the car outside in a little while once my work day has finished and take a couple of shots. I work from home so get to play with the Cobra from late morning onward.

Great news. It's a long way from Tipperary.
