Now,all of that is worth the time & effort !!!

Warren,

You are quite the chef. Your idea of freezing the stuff and how you do it sounds like a good one. I used to cook, but nothing like you and Fred do. And now that my nerves are so bad I am almost afraid to turn the stove on. I seem to drop at least 15 things a day.

Ron,
I'm no where close to the same catagory as Warren.

I'm pretty good at cooking my own goose though.

[Ron61]

Fred,

I nominate Warren to cook dinner for the club. Maybe if he talked really nice Kristen would help him. Turtle is way to slow.

I know theres allot of knowledge out there and I want to tap into it. I want to purchase a Cobra in kit form or already done. I would like some opinions as to which ones are the best. I live in scottsdale and have gone to American legends and looked at super Performance mk111 and cobra 427 s/c CSX. Is the CSX worth ten thousand more for the rolling chassi? I know you have better things to chat about but I would really appreciate some help. Bob b.

[Ron61]

Bob,

The best place for this post would be in the All Cobra Talk as more people read that than this. To me the CSX from Superformance wouldn't be worth that much more. If I were getting one and wanted the CSX number I would get it from Shelby in Las Vegas. But a lot of people are not going to agree with this. Superformance is a very good car but I just don't think having the CSX on one is worth that much more.

I also am absolutely adept in eating my own words, and many times I have tasted my own foot.

Time to put out the rubbish. That's one chore I did not miss while on vacation.

I just deleted a ton of pictures out of my gallery. I've gone from 156 MB to 145 MB. But I have to get down to 50 MB. Maybe I'll just delete my whole gallery and start over.

Bob - there are a ton of Cobra replica manufacturers out there. For a detailed list, see this thread.

List of Manufacturers

Your first decision is which state of completion do you want?
Kit unassembled
Roller (minus engine and transmission)
Turn Key (new or used)

Like Ron said, duplicate your post on the All Cobra Talk or Introduction Forum. Also, get together with the Arizona Cobra members and check out their rides. My suggestion is to look at as many completed Cobras as possible before you make the plunge.

Welcome to the madness

The alternative of starving to death is not acceptable. Eating out at a restaurant every day would really let me add on the pounds! I have to RE-lose about 70 pounds that I gained since I stopped smoking.

Of course, I do stop at the local Italian Café which is about 1/2 mile from my house. He is a GREAT cook, but I always cut his dinner portions in half.

Then of course, there is at least 20 places that will deliver (Chinese, Pizza, Fried Seafood places, general Restaurants, etc).

So when I cook and freeze, its always less fattening than the other alternatives. And my a$$ fits a lot better in my SPF seat when I was at my "relatively" low weight of 240 about 2 years ago. Got to get back down to my fightin' weight.

Warren,

Here is the latest picture of the pups. They are wet as they had just came inside from playing in their tub.




Ron

[hey,littlecobra]

love seeing the babies, Ron.

I cook for all 7 of us, roughly 3-4 times a week. sometimes 5 nights, sometimes none!!

Peter is doing his 'first public speaking' debut tonight, giving the Thanksgiving lesson, or sermon at church. wow.
(he did speak to Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions Clubs when soliciting money for his Eagle Project)
I'm nervous for him!!

Hi all from the SLACKER

I just dropped in to say hi to everyone here since I haven't posted on this thread for awhile... .....I know, I'm such a SLACKER................I have been trying to get back into the swing of working on the COBRA again after it was in the shop for 6 months(was supposed to be 3 weeks) having the intake fabricated.

Oh well, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to ALL and to ALL a GOOD NIGHT>>>>>

[Ron61]

Kristen,

Thanks, and good luck to Peter. He will do just fine. I had to take two semesters of speech in college and I enjoyed it. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Earl,

Nice to see you posting again. Have a great Thanksgiving and get that Cobra going soon.

Ron

[wtm442]

Ron - do the pups let you sit in their chair?

Kristen - you should be proud of Peter speaking to a crowd. They took a survey one time about "fears". The #1 fear was public speaking. The #2 fear was death!

Thankfully, I've always been a blabbermouth, and I was always talking to large groups of people in my "former life" when I was working in the sales & marketing field. I found it to be "exciting" in some respects, but can be exhausting at times.

Earl - nice to see your airplane. It's gone thousands of miles more than your Cobra. Get that Beast done!

Fred - nothing for you.

Tru - oh Tru, where are you? Covered in snow? Chopping down trees?

[Ron61]

I think Tru went on vacation to the Arctic to get away from the coming cold weather and snow. It is cold here this morning. It was 38 degrees when I got up but is supposed to get up around 70 later on. The sun is just now coming up over the mountains.

Ron

[wtm442]

It's snowing outside. First snow I've seen this season. But please, Mt Shasta Goddess, its 35 °F outside, so please change to rain very soon. We all know you are a wimp! Get the heck out of my yard.

That tramp has a lot of nerve.

Just finished paying all the bills that piled up when I was on vacation. Don't you just love paying bills thru the INTERNET. Where else can you pay about $3,000 worth of bills in about 3 minutes with no stamps and no envelopes to lick. The only problem is that the bills keep coming.

[Ron61]

Warren,

I told you that you had snow heading your way. It should stop at about the 10' level. Clear and sunny here now but windy.

Ron

[Ron61]

Warren,

After much agonizing and thinking I have decided 6 of these would make a good gift for you to send me for Christmas. With all of the money you have won, you can afford them. And please note they cost a little less if you order the in a 3 pack.

As far as the snow is concerned, nothing stuck yesterday. Its been damp, cold and dreary just about every day for the last week. It's supposed to get up to 60°F on Thursday, which is great for everyone going to their high school football games.

Now is not the time to buy gold coins, IMHO, even as gifts. But once I get all of the hundreds of millions of dollars and euros from all of my international lottery winnings, I will buy you a boatload. But I'm still waiting patiently for the checks to clear.

Did anyone watch the Mega-Disaster show on the History Channel last night? Showed a BIG earthquake hitting Los Angeles. Very scary stuff.

[Ron61]

Warren,

I watched it. In fact I watch more on the History and Discovery channel's than anything else. As the guy said, it is not a question of if, but when. And the big fault at Berkley is slipping some now too. Boy, wouldn't it be nice if that bunch of radicals slipped back next to you.
