Taken for a spin in a Cobra

One of my mates is lucky enough to have a Cobra, admittedly it's a replica but a very good one. Went over last night and as the sun was shining we went for a blast and OH MY GOD!!!!

After the first 5 minutes of the 'blast' I was physically shaking from the adrenaline rush, raw power noise acceleration smell the whole experience was amazing. It is one hell of a car and it is fair to say I am smitten, so I think my next car will just have to be a V8.



For those of you who went to Cars in the Park it was the Blue one with white stripes and 'pram hood'

Not entirely sure to be honest I was too busy screaming and laughing my head off like I was on drugs to ask.

I know that the car was built by an ex Jordan Engineer, it's a V8 with TVR head's so it can run 100 RON + it weighs about 800 kg and maybe somewhere around 250 bhp.

I'll see if I can get my mate to come on and post the details and some pics.
