I still have to put the intake back on mine.
Hoping the correct gaskets show up this time.

I think I'm on the other side of Chester Springs. I live very near Ludwig's Corner. Can I meet you there or somewhere enroute?

We are meeting at the Lowes parking lot roughly 1 mile south of the RT422/RT100 split at 6:30pm for those that want to caravan down for the invasion of Mark's garage ......

Hey Guys, sorry I missed, I made it as far as Lowes and my wife called and said I had to return home, my mother in law had a small accident and they were going to the ER. I will try to make it up to see the FIA some time in the next couple days.
later, karl

It was great meeting you guys, but now I'm really itching for some driving!

Karl, hope to catch up soon. Sorry to hear about the donkey biting your MIL (you can't make this stuff up, folks). Is she okay?

Hey, After a couple hours at the ER, Mom Mom is OK, the bite was on one finger but it had several nasty cuts.

I have to call Mark and stop down to see the new FIA, later, karl

It was great meeting everyone and seeing your Cobras. Outstanding.
That Kirkham FIA is awesome. I was so taken with that work-of-art body and the other Cobras that I didn't even think to look at the engine! Maybe I'll have to come back again to see the power plant, Mark? :-)

Hey everyone, sorry I missed all these great post and the cruise! I am headed down to the beach this weekend but should be available 8/13-14 and any week night.

Here is a little link of me having some fun with a quick 0-60 run. Our Nanny was in the car and called it weak!
