Went to take out the car yesterday after sitting for a few months tires were 4 psi low so filled to 24 psi all four . Went to pass a driver who was daydreaming on a country road and when returning to my lane I noticed a wallow feeling. Got the car home and found oil in engine bay. cleaned up the oil in the engine bay lifted the car and started to clean underside of car . found loose oil pan bolts. continued to clean and found loose bolt on top shock in rear. All fixed and she runs and drives like a naughty dream! Just sharing this to hopefully save someone from having a bad day or worse.

Yep these car are a lot of fun but, I do not care what mfg cobra you have, you need to keep a close eye on things just to be safe. It really dose not take that long just go through it while cleaning it bring some tools with you while you clean underside of car that way things will go quick and you can have peace of mind while driving them.

Sounds like sabotage.
