Good to hear you may get there,

I am dead keen to be there with a car for once, last time I went I promised myself I would not go again until I had my Cobra there.

Well I finally got the car back on its feet and running again.

I also repacked the side pipes and they are very quiet now (compared to before).

Hey Boxhead

Try driving with no screen, that's interesting.

I needed safety goggles to be able to see above 60 kph when I drove mine once without the screen.

I did that on Saturday, I do wear glasses and due to this fact I did manage to get up to 80 before the wind was too annoying.
I found if I scrunched down low into the seat I could get upto 140 before it was too windy.

Colour 'synched' for the NT too! Could be a new range of Cobra colours - the Ochre Collection?

Nice one!

LOL, I never even thought of it as ochre, I should have we see the color and hear the name all the time out here.
Maybe I should get some dot paintings all over it?

I was scared it might look like Pepper white too much, or maybe Taupe?
