And also now you know what the best part of driving it will be. When I wrecked my MkI, I had a chance to do something else. After all there are a lot of other really cool cars out there. It took me about 5 minutes to realize I would miss all my Cobra friends if I went w/ somehting else.Six weeks later I had a MkII!!
Cool story!
Like so Many of us say! Enjoy the journey!!!!

John,
Glad to help out, no better way to spend a St. Patrick Day and get our hands on a Mark IV. :cool:

Who needs a 10 ton shop press when you have friends!

I was a perfect day, last year at this time we had over 2' of snow sitting on the ground. Nice grouping of Roadsters, Gerry's red/sliver Mark III, Ed's Black B&B (Lake George Summer run guys would remember this car as Greg P's), Jim's red/white Mark 3.1, and my green/silver Mark III.

12 guys, 24 beer. My math (and it's shaky remember) figures that out to be about 2 beer per man. I'm very disappointed. There's clearly plenty of room to leave those cars parked there overnight. You needed at least one more case of beer! :D

Pat, taking a spin in the green machine was a thrill. Can't wait to get mine done. Thanks for all the help.
