Ok I would pay big money to see a snow plow on the front of a Factory Five… haha. We really don’t get a lot of snow here actually, so I took advantage of it while I could. For my next trick, I might have to find some dirt.

@@DeadDodgeGarage Moonshine runner?? These Cobras are quite versatile!

Yes, as I often tell people, at least half of the Cobra’s throttle travel is extra… maybe more like 2/3 actually. Generally the Cobra stays in on anything but the nicest of days, which are rare around here. But, you know… gotta live a little while you can. A V8 Austin Healey sounds nuts! This is my first car of this type. I’ve had two MGB GTs but both were stock B motors and neither was ever road worthy. I am very into the small British cars and hope to play with more when possible.

@@DeadDodgeGarage I was a young teen when a friend gave me a ride in his MGB and I loved the feeling. A year later I bought a ‘64 B which was replaced by a ‘66 Austin Healey (those curves were seductive :) it was killed by a collision with a police car (their fault). I then graduated to my 327 ‘vette engine Healey which never lost a race. Weirdly, two years later, it was killed in another police induced collision which broke my heart! Years later I picked up a Triumph Spitfire which helped rekindle the fascination with little British sports cars. My wife discovered how much fun it was to drive and informed me “Bill I hope you know that’s MY car”, I got promoted to head mechanic. While playing with Turbo Supras, I picked up the Sunbeam in Alger, Washington while I was living in Vancouver and I have been modifying it since. And now I have inherited my Dad’s 1939 Jaguar SS100 which kind of goes back to how the whole Brit sports car thing started.
