Bursting to tell

Hi guys (gals)
Cant wait any longer, bursting to tell the world. Ive just broke the bank budget and bought a Cobra from Mark at Totalheadturners.
Cant pick it up for about a week because hes taking off the sidepipes (TOO loud) and a couple of other minor jobs
Attached a picture with pipes removed in photoshop. Cant wait!!

Congratulations.

When you DO get your hands on it, be careful - they are not named after a snake for no reason - they can bite!

Hi Chris, where are you based?
I bought mine from mark back in January. Top bloke, delivered it all the way to somerset in the rain, then cleaned it for me!
I did spin mine within half an hour, so from experience, can echo other comments about being careful!!!!!
Like most people, im still grinning, altho i would wish that little hands didnt keep touching it!!

I live in Herne bay, Kent.

Marks a great guy but cant help thinking he gives the "theres someone comming this afternoon to look at that very car" to everyone! But it was so useful to see so many cars side by side for comparison

I will be driving it home myself but will be looking for a quiet Ind Est or Tescos car park for some unobstructed cornering tests! and to let the missus have a go (she is paying for half of it)

Havent got it yet but the smile is already there

Also looking forward to meeting other owners locally

Hope you have not got too many road humps near you as I think it was DB who said there is not much ground clearance with an under slung system fitted. Did the side pipes have the 2" or 3" baffles fitted as this makes a big difference to how loud they are?


Take care and enjoy.

That car would look so good with sidepipes on it.

Have fun
