Cobra Car Club of Victoria
Feature Car!
CCCV has over one hundred active members, here is some detail on a selection of our rides
Why a Cobra? I love the retro, classic look and style. Eveyone, even non-car people, look and admire a Shelby Cobra; there’s something about the shape I think that has universal appeal. Mostly I wanted to actually see if I could build a car. I’m not a mechanic, so it was a life challenge for me. I didn’t want to restore something, or use heaps of donor bits, so the choice of kits includes nearly everything I needed. What have you done to the car? Apart from building the car? A few little things are “non-standard”: LED lights for courtesy door lights and interior “mood” lighting; engine bay lighting; polished stainless air intake and aluminium OTR airbox; electric heated seats; Bluetooth stereo and handsfree (hah!); automatic head light sensor controls. The body is gelcoat finished still (no paint required!) – I might eventually paint it but I’m enjoying using it without fear of scratches for now. What do you like doing with your car the most? Driving it. Anywhere. Everywhere. I drive it to work sometimes (on nice days), breakfast meet-ups with the club, club socials, or take my wife and kids (one at a time!) for coffees in the hills. I’ve also had a few noob laps on racetracks with it too – it goes alright!      |
