My friend Jay drove my Cobra down also. It is the tungston silver w/ no stripes on the right .:thumbsup:

 

[JackW]

you are a lucky man to have both a Cobra and a GT40. Both cars look like a lot of fun. In fact it must drive you crazy having to choose which one to drive.

thanks Jack , I do enjoy all the cars. It was an easy decision to drive the GT on Sunday. When we left Greenwich @ 6:30 AM it was about 45 degrees.Jay was freezing in the Cobra on the way down & I had the heat on in the GT.

This is one of my favorite rooms in my house !:thumbsup:

Did a fall foliage run with Jay & the guys from Vintage-Motorsports Sunday. Awesome ride with back country roads & the leaves @ their peak . I was going to take the Cobra but it was about 40 degrees when we left. The GT heat was a welcome option.

few more pics.

stoped @ Al's steak & pizza in Goshen CT. There were 5 more Cobra's there to meet us & about 30 Bikes. Everyone was great & we had our on car & bike show :thumbsup:

 

[RMH]

oh yeah we found an old fighter plane show also ! That is Bob's Cobra in front . I wasn't sure if the GT had enough clearance to venture across :huh:

 

[Al Jones]

Rick,have you had any handling or ground clearance issues yet?I ask this because the area you went through(rt 7 / rt 63 /rt 4) in the northwest hills has always been one of my favorites but a good test 'track' as well.A good prelude to Lime Rock.If you're going to see road-type problems with the car,that's where they'll show up. A.J. ps-love that picture of the AT-6.

Hey Al , yeah the old planes were so cool. I have not had any ground clearance issues at all . On the foilage run we had 4 or 5 stops in parking lots and things like that with no problem. The week before I was in the city for the Columbus Circle Run (concrete jungle) & it was fine even through some construction areas. According to the manual the GT has 5" ground clearance? Jay tells me that is more than my Cobra ? As far as the GT on the road it is amazing.We had some blasts on route 8 with 3 #'s on the speedo & the Cobra's had to brake on the turns & the GT is like on rails barley touching the wheel & she stops on a dime. CAV who builds the GT for BDR goes to great lengths to sound proof & make the cabin air tight so it is very comfortable .I'm surprised that there is very little engine noise also.We had the heat on in the morning & A/c on the way home.:thumbsup:

Like most of us...It seems you choose the garage/workshop attached to a place to sleep option. Spoiled for choice are you? Nice.

 

[Scott Calabro]

RMH,

Is that the airfield in Canaan?

Had I'd known I would have shown up.

I'm about an hour away, I know the area like the back of my hand.

I lived in Sharon for 10 years.

Sounds like it was a nice run!

Cheers,
Scott

 

[RMH]

Scott ,yeah it was. Keep it in mind for next year. We had such a great turn out the guy's from Vintage-motorsports are going to make it a yearly event. check out www.clubcobra.com & look under fall foilage run. There are lots of great pics.it would be nice to have another GT in the group.

The last fall run ? The leaves were falling as we drove by? Maybe the 120 MPH bursts helped the leaves ? Unlike the Cobra leaves fall off the GT grill when you stop :thumbsup:

Pic of your garage in post above is great.

Has it held up?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
