Everything depends on the weather for both this Saturday and the 18th.
I just hope it warms up early in the morning. Have been out in mid 40's and it was dam cold for a ride. To cold to drive and hour to W. Haven. Hopefully it will be nicer for the 18th which is closer to me.

I will be soaking in the surf in The Bahamas w/ the family. Sounds like it will be a good show in Manchester. I hope the weather complies.

Well it was a pretty nice show. Loads of nice Shelby Mustangs as well as Saleens...

About 9 Cobras there during the day....

Present were:

REDSC400 - ERA
ERA427TP - ERA
BOB IN CT - Superformance
MACOBRA - Classic Roadsters
Plus a Everette Morrison from NYC
two FFRs from Mass which were very nicely built.

Later in the day another very early ERA arrived (early 80's build and 20 years young)

Thanks to SAAC and Mustangs Unlimited for the effort and work.
Well run event and nice folks in attendance.

I will post pics as time allows...

Sorry I missed talking to you at the show. Hope to meet you at future shows.

All the cobras were nice. It was a good first run for mine. Work still needs to be done. dash needs to be cleaned up, new stearing colume, etc. It was just nice to get her out on the road.

All in all a good show.
