Thanks guys for the well wishes.
Dave, sleep, what's that?
Just coming down with my brother and his GT40 we sponsor.
Won't be bringing any of the new toys, but will have a big showing at the Nationals this year. Next year for Shelby Fest. At the shop(have two shops now) it's all hands on deck, have over 10 guys in total now including full timers & contractors. Just can't spare the resources to do anything at the moment.
And I bet none of my guys will miss me.  |

Craig
Good luck with the trip down.
I am amazed just how busy you guys were [are] when I was up there. The new factory and Cobra manufacturing area is really something. I am looking forward to see the new GT40 and the finished Cobra.
The body shape of the Cobra is fantastic also.
Again safe trip down. Look forward to catching up with you and everyone there. I hope to be there later Friday afternoon.
Bernie

Sounds terrific Craig. We are all pleased about your progress and what it adds to the vitality and strength of the Australian market. Any pics of the new (?) car that looks like an Ariel Atom?

Thanks Gav, will be good to catch up over a bit and beer. Yes check those bearings, I have seen many a lonely boat/caravan/trailer on the side of the road over the years with only one wheel attached :-(
I am attempting to get out of Melb on thurs before the crappy weather starts on Friday as I am going up in my "no-soft-top" Cobra :-)

Chris did it used to be blue? I'm sure I have an old RACE magazine that had it on the front cover? |

Yes that was very quick - it was just awesome watching them go for it. Balls like watermelons. The black and orange thing was doing 1:27's I think.
