Hi All, I thought it was time I signed on, been lurking around your 'Projects & Restorations' and Tech forums for a while now. Some great information to be had and some amazing work going on out there !

I'm currently driving a Cobra, but whenever I've been drawn to a US car at a show or whatever, 90% of the time it ends up having Dodge or Plymouth on the badge, I guess that makes me some sort of Mopar guy at heart. So Sometime in the not too distant future I plan to be looking for something in the shape of a 66/67 Coronet, I just need to enlarge my garage a bit first.....Then the questions will start !

Welcome from the East Valley in AZ.

Thanks for the welcome !

Thought Id put up a pic of the Cobra, it's running a Cleveland hooked up to a 5 speed manual, lots of fun but I really want something I can use for more days in the year and take my family along with me.

Welcome from not so far away:hello2: But isn`t that steering wheel in the picture on the wrong side.....?:icon_cool:

 

[snakeyes]

Hi and welcome to the site, your cobra is it a factory five or which other maker

 

[Cman]

Thanks again and Hi to all of you, specially my 'neighbour' over in Germany, (I spent a bit of time in Freiburg, but I think you are at the other end of the country).

Snakeyes, there are a few Factory five cars in the UK, but there are quite a lot of local companies producing kits, this one is made by AK Sportscars using Jaguar suspension. And yes, the steering is on the 'wrong' side, I guess I'll get used to swapping over when I do get my Mopar !

Hi Cman,

you are right, I am from the other end of Germany, up north close to the sea. And don`t worry about the wrong side, I once went to South Africa where the wheel is also on the "wrong" side. You get used to it very quickly:icon_winkle: I only have problems when crossing the streets and look to the left first...
