Think everyone was out today. C-GT, two Aston's, every bike within 50 miles. Couldn't get near the Rock Store. Hikers, spandex, dog walkers, SUV's, everyone was courteous and let you by.

Great color. Orange, no it's yellow, no it's gold, no it's silver.

Euro Trash Arrives:

ET 2

Down to Neptune's Net. Nice color!

Perfect? Pretty close.

Dime a dozen water pumper.

The loudest thing I ever heard on the street. 125 ci, 175 HP, interesting mufflers..

When you do a tank slapper on this, it tells your future.

I'm dying here in New England.....still grey cold rain,will it never end.....went into the barn and looked at the 914 sitting there waiting for a good run on the back roads to Lime Rock.....maybe next weekend....why doI live here?

Nice photo's Howard. Your WATER PUMPER looks good. Wish I could have gone along......(was not invited because I whine to much.......)

Arg. I was just thinking today how badly I want to go for a drive. I really need to get this engine covnersino done!!! Hopefulyl the roller in my garage is gone next weekend and I can get going on the actual conversion.

Looks like you had a nice time. How is it driving the 996 versus the 914?

Paul, we post things like this so we can justify our high cost of living to you East Coasters and Tundra Dwellers.
Rob, I keep inviting you but you're always too busy. Spring for that phone plan where you can make outgoing calls.
Tony, great car, but NARP. Real Porsches are air cooled, noisy, weigh less than 2200lbs and give you a stupid grin.

But this could be the best Mercedes I ever drove

There is a place near where I like that pretty much only builds Cobras. They are nearly perfect (if you want then to be) but they have alot of pretty wild ones.

Howard, I can see that the sun in the east is just about to break over the horizon......not a cloud in the sky and the weather forcast is for 60 degrees by this weekend....so maybe I can live here a little while longer... before heading for South Carolina.

"Nearly perfect" is the best you can do with a replica. Perfect is ANY original Cobra in any condition. The Cap'n

Replica Cobra $65,000. Real Cobra, Priceless
