Just back from a very enjoyable car met at RAF Cosford. Unfortunately it was absolutely lagging it down when I was awoken from my slumbers at "sparrows fart" this morning and as suspected Iain turned up in a tin top ( a V8 admittedly) accompanied by his father. This gave his father and I the opportunity, on the drive up the M5/M6, to keep commenting on how improved the weather was and how there was still time to turn round and get the Cobra etc etc. Only threats of an enforced walk home put a lock on our witty banter.
Anyway a very good turnout of Cobras (see piccie) and even more owners, so this meet location will no doubt be repeated. It was also very intresting to see a wide selection of other car marques in attendance including VW beetles and vans, Old style Minis, New Style Minis, Golfs, TVR's, and even some Hot Rod type things..........including the worlds roughest E type, bonnet by polyfilla and paint by Dulux. Only the age of the exposed rust verified that the car was an original from the early 60's.
The most unusual car there was a time machine from the 1980's, and I mean a real time machine, a Delorean complete with Flux capacitor, external wiring and smoke machine for added effects. It was joined by another 10 or so standard DeLoreans who had perfected the art of gullwing door opening in convoy.
Here are a few piccies for your delectation.
Cheers,
Tony
