Default So who brought the Cobra?
Saw a new BF Cobra on the back of a tilt truck in Perth today, didn't have along look as if you have seen one you have seen them all.

Anyone know who the lucky owner is?

I checked out a Cobra on the Tasman Hwy between 'Bunna and Little Swanport Saturday - custom plates COBRA03.

I'm not a real fan of the colour scheme, or the wheels - which will be a bugger to keep looking sharp.

Well I can say from almost first hand experience the wheels, whilst they get dirty easily, they wash off quite easily and quickly.

What do you mean already, Cobra mock ups have been going around since Stripes were available on BA GT's.

So I would be talking about BF2 cobras then and in Tasmania, where we are about ten years behind the mainland.

Only late model Ford replica cobra's that I am aware of are of AU vintage. We have Xr8s done up to look like GTs but I am yet to see 40th or Cobra replicas in this state. You do realise this forum is specifically about this state/club?

Of course I do, I thought the whole Blue stripes on White GT's was an Aus wide thing. Either it's not or you guys aren't really part of Aus lol.
