New Years resolutions

Anyone made their News years resolutions yet?

I have heard one or two here at work talk about that old one - "...this year I'm giving up smoking"

Happy New Year Bernie!

Just getting ready for Barrett-Jackson over here in the next couple of weeks. I will be happy to post any pics of the exciting cars that may be there for you if there is any interest..

I think I may take my Mustang to the New Year's Day run with the Arizona guys, I'll let you know how that goes...

Best to you, Ann, Todd and the rest

Steve

Hello everyone. Happy new year. I've got a new engine and there's a hole in the RH rocker cover. Should I stick a PCV valve in there or not. There's a filter/breather in the L/H side.
What do you reckon ?

Steve,

Have a great New year there.

Whoaa it's over with here. Although must say it was quite with some neat fireworks at 12pm.

Regards to Nancy. Enjoy Barret Jackson. It will be good to see some photos and hear how the economy has or has not affected car sales there.

Cheers

Bernie

Check this out, I went for a ride with the AZ Cobra guys on New Year's Day. Pan with your mouse whilst holding the left button, very nifty:

It's AUSTRALIA Day and I had to work. I travelled home at around 7:15pm & I haven't seen the roads so quiet. The same goes for new years day. Wonderful...I really enjoyed a drive without people holding me up or causing frustration. It just makes the day right. A nice cruise without harrasment. Shame the Cobra is still in the Lab.

Rob. Smith

I took the Cobra out early morning to get milk and the papers.

It was a 2 hour run down the coast at 5.oo am and back at 7.oo am. No one around. I did wake the night shift Police at Anglesea one morning.. they were having a nap near a bridge when I flew past....

Mmmm miss the Cobra on these warm summer mornings..

Hey Bernie,
Do the windows work in that GT40 ? If so, drive with them down that's close to open top I suppose. Early morning (spirited ) runs in any car is good with all the windows down and no radio. Try to explain that to the girl.

Default What Radio?

Hey Bernie,

I am logging on from home so that is why your not seeing my Tulsacobra.

Do you guys really buy radio's over there? I can't think of a better sound than the sound coming out of a stout V8 with a modest restriction hidden under the skin of a GT 40, Cobra, or Coupe.

I guess you guys are getting into your fall now and maybe a little rain but the cruising still has to be great! By the way you left your T-Shirt here...you know the "Testicle Festival" shirt.

Clois,

Still a little time left for cruising. The GT40 engine upgrade is finished and I'm just finishing some aluminium work/panels.

Not sure on the radio... I find I use an iPod on longer trips. Breaks the boredom, but yes still love the sound of side pipes - guess I'll miss the Cobra..

As Law inforcement officers like to read these sites it is good to know and tell others that the headphones have one side totally disconnected and the sound insulation is rendered inoperative on that side. These headphones may look standard but they are extensively modified ( like all Cobras ) to meet the required ADR standards. I have discussed this with several law enforcement officers and it seems that Doof Doof car drivers don't recognise the use of the modified headphones and prefer a system that can be shared with the rest of the neighbourhood.

Rob,

It goes to say that we would not break the lawww..

Seriously my headphones are great for cruising and I still hear someone talking. Not to mention the sound of sirens as I'm pulled over..

Bernie,

Our winter has been more of an inconvenience than any normal winter. 70 deg F today but Friday will be in the 50's. Plenty of times to get out an take a cruise every month if you want. Evenings and nights get fairly cool (30's or 40's) but after all we are still in February. Fireplace feels good in the evenings and a jacket until noon on most days.
