Default Sold the Classic Roadster today

Well, I have been thinking about it for a while and finally decided to do it. With my health not being the best that it could be and retirement coming closer I sold the Classic Roadster today. Had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach as I watched it leave but it is/was the best thing to do.

So Greg, enjoy and have fun with her. I know that she needs a few things and that Bill Emerson will fix her up for you.

Shocking news Terry. Once a decision like that is made there is no looking back, only forward. Good luck.

Once you have owned a cobra, it is hard to settle for something else.
It took me 3 years, but now I purchased a monster-miata, ha. That thing is even more hair rising, has 6 gears and revs to 6500rpm.

Terry,
Broke my heart, but I know you gave it much thought! If and when you decide to do another, you know all of us will be there in moral support at the least!

Thanks all. I think that I will start back up on my lost passion from years back, for a while at least. Pretty powerful, around 3100 FPS.

Yep Tru, that's him. Nice guy, he has it a Bill's getting some work done to it so pictures might be slow to come.

TERRY! I read this with such sadness, selfishly. You played such an encouraging role in getting mine "done" and registered. I had always hoped we'd go for a Manteca cruise for burgers. My loss for being so tardy. I know you excel in any venture you undertake.

Kudos.

Hey Terry!

Sorry to hear you've parted with your hot rod!
Can't imagine ever doing that. ;-)

Still making very good use of the soft top you sold me. Wouldn't be without it for our annual trips to the London Cobra Show.

All the best!
Dwain

Thanks again guys. Believe me Ray, I gave Greg a good deal on it. I might have to take you up on that offer some time. If I can get my head straight long enough.
