She went through four last year.  She is a rock magnet.  Darndest thing I have ever seen.

She has no desire to ride in any convertible.  She is terrified a rock would bounce over the windshield and split her head open.  She goes through a lot of windshields.  Two, so far, this year.

EDIT:  She did say she would ride in it, if I buy her a helmet to wear, but only for short trips.

Seems only natural.

Skuzzy....sounds like the right time to give her a course in SA.

Oh...my initial thought was that she went through the window...I've got it now. At any rate that is still an impeccable record.

  I am designing my own fuel delivery and intake system, and some other tidbits as well.

There is a big AC Cobra following here in Western Europe.  Periodically during the warm months the owners get together and have a drive in in Boblingen at Meilenwerk. It's really cool to see 25 Cobra Replicas lined up!  Last year I was present when the Meilenwerk staff blocked of the parking lot and let these guys do burnouts. 

I'll get some video this year if I catch one of there drive in events.

We have an annual gathering in San Marcos, in Texas, where about 150 to 250 Cobras gather.  It is quite a sight, and quite noisy too. :)

I think Texas has the largest concentration of Cobras in the world.  Could be wrong, but it has to be close to the largest, if not the largest.

I was in Vernon Texas back in the late 90s at summers last blast car show and cruise , a fellow in an original cobra came by looking for a friend of mine that wasn't there, his transmission shifter was hung up in fourth gear so I got it up on a jack and fixed it for him, my reward was to go and cruise it for a bit!
That car was the best all around fun car I've ever played in,, one of these days I'll have my own!

You could be wrong.  I think India may have the largest concentration.  But that's me  ;)

Hey Skuzzy, I was out with the old man today, and we headed to our mechanic(who is helping with the restoration) and he had had an amazing 1949 Jaguar XK120, black paint, red interior, it was amazing!
Also, what color are you planning for the Cobra?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
