A milestone has finally been passed. After 3 years 'resting' in the garage, the black beast is now off the axle stands and actually moves in and out of the garage under her own power. The conversion from auto transmission to a 4 speed manual has been a labour of love, in between me starting and finishing a major loft conversion on our house. Now time for an MOT and some tax. The time when the old girl will again be hooning around the country-side - as in the photo below - is, hopefully, getting nearer. Time for several cold Leffes, methinks.   |

Sweet. Im viewing the forum on my phone these days while i wait on a new laptop so i can only see certain pics. I've been a fan of cobras ever since watching that vet twat (i forget his name) build 1 from the guts of an old sierra on the discovery chanel. Will she make Le Mans this year?

Normally yes (first LM for the cobra in 1999). However, this year, I think the plan is to go again in the Great American Land Yacht.  |

Good work! Would love to see the Cobra at Lm but the land yacht looks equally as much fun... looking forward to a trip to the supermarket in her with the Bikini girls!  |

You are going to need a 7 x 5 camping permit just to park the Land Yacht. Bring the beast, you know it makes sense. |

I only know the black beast as the Trannie by Team JPC from 2005/06, which sadly got cremated in a pub parking lot  |
