thanks for the welcome guys, i don,t think I,ll be spending a fortune on mods . I am now retired and had some 50+ cars from minis to cobras and this more than fills my box for fun,comfort, power,handling and blows my hair (yes I have a full head still !) I just like to cruise about now and with this being auto and paddles if I need them fits in with my X3 auto too. That straight six sounds so smooth I think I have found my final TOY . Looking forward to the wk end and picking her up from the dealer 
Hi philz4, welcome to the Forum ( a few of us retired on here - early retired that is 
) You've bought the right car to enjoy and make the most of your new status - mine gets used a lot!
Get to some of the meets - I think you'll get more from the ownership experience.
Got any photos of your Cobra? Always fancied one, in fact I think of my Zed as a more reliable, comfortable and capable Cobra or TVR (I've had a Chimeara for a short while - fabulous noise but couldn't sleep at night with the concern over maintenance :lol: )

I think your right there Paul, I was only saying to the wife I think this is nicer than a cobra even though I spent 18mths designing the full car and building it full time in my engineering shop at the time .he,s a pic of it from 1994 when it was brand new. ( it was my intention to sell and manufacture them ,but it never happened ) then I sold it after a couple of years and took the wife round the world.

That is beautiful and you obviously have serious skills. I love seeing underneath cars skin. I think your opinion may be sought on many threads.
nice ride out yesterday round hope/castleton/chatsworth and averaged 30mpg so well pleased compared to one of my past cobras (V12)
which did about 9mpg but then it did have 6 twin choke webbers !!!!.
Indian summer supposed to be coming ,bring it on. but I,m not bothered as I cant believe how warm inside these are with the heater on I may not need my irvin flying jacket
