During a wander to the cafe during the last CA demo day at brunty i stumbled across this little gem!
They put it under there to hide it from the rain but im damn sure they could tow the trailer with it too if they wanted!!
I think i might send it in to one of those crazy caption competitions :p

Is that a genuine Cobra?

Super muscle cars they are. Love the Shelby version.

I love the shape of it, but I hear the handling is terrible due to chassis flex (?). There was one oop north here in dundee for a while. It was worth it to egg him on in my little 318ti compact just to hear the NOOOOOOOOIIIIISE!:D

No its not Nick...i thought it was when i first noticed it but upon closer inspection its a replica, although a damn good one i must say!!
Apparently its running a TVR Griffith 400 lump...interesting to say the least!!
A mate of mine has got a genuine 427 shelby cobra & there is no way on gods earth that car should be road legal...an hour in that & you can certainly see where it gets its nickname from.
Gotta say though it has to be one of the all time sexiest cars ever made

That grille is nasty.

Excellent cars though. Had a go in a genuine one a few years back when they has a factory in Weybridge. Scary as hell!

One of my old time favourites no matter what people say for a muscle car - the Carroll Shelby "GT500E Shelby Mustang (Eleanor)", made famous in the film 60 seconds:)

Sweet looking. Can you imagine (and I know it wouldn't happen) the look on the guys face if he came back to find the trailor had dropped on top of it...
