Happy New Year

Well that's 2008 out of the way.

I'd be lying if I said that things had gone according to plan and I'd achieved what I wanted to on this build. By this stage I had hoped to have the engine/gearbox set up and mounted and most of the remaining chassis components in. But as usual life dealt another duff hand of cards and we've had to make the best of what we had with no progress on the car since June.

Hopefully, although I am far from confident, 2009 may be a bit better and I can take the closed sign down. In reality I think its staying up for a while longer yet.

Hope you had a good New Year, we had a laugh and my experiment in firework displays went off really well, if I can get a video done Ill post it up.

Thanks for watching..

Where did all begin?

The Beginning.
Many years ago as a child I was forever reading kit car magazines and thinking one day Ill build something. I always wanted a Countach replica.

Forward wind about 18 years and I finally have the time and money to actually do something about that childhood dream. I start thinking about building a kit and begin looking around, I stumbled over the Cobra replica club website, www.cobraclub.com, and that got me interested in Cobras. Its just something about them that has got be hooked and some would say obsessed!

After lots of looking at the various marques I settle on the GD427, to be honest as soon as I saw the chassis design I thought, that the one, someones thought about that, and thats where Ill leave the story for tonight.

More the come!
