no there is not really a story behind but we know each other and our co pilots😀👍
Regarding knowing your co-pilot, you are right! It's very important to operate as a team, and knowing what she doesn't like is one of the things to avoid, or if that's impossible, to minimize. I found a bit of a solution to that problem, and started to let Yvona drive some of the easier roads. After all, if I sit next to her, I have the same feeling that she has most of the time... And I have to admit, that driving along twisty roads is much easier when you are the driver... So respect for those co-pilots!
Fortunatly she thinks that i do a good and safe job, so most of the time it's me pushing the pedals and changing the gears...
My wife never went on the back of any of my previous sportsbikes, and has never sat in the Cobra - so I have only the appreciation of my own mortality to regulate the pressure on my right foot.
Mind you, with only my luggage in the boot, I do at least have room for extra clothes to address any embarrassing consequences of entering a hairpin bend a little too enthusiastically .......

welcome to the forum. And your Cobra does looks amazing.
I believe that Autofab is using the body´s from Dax. Is that correct ?

Thank you, Rocco!
Yes, thats right, Autofab used Dax body until 2013, then the bodies are Swedish. Available in carbon fiber too, and now even the Cobra Daytona Coupe to take shape. The first will be in carbon fiber, but most of them will probably be in fiberglass.
I was in Romania three times for a charity-project that I have initiated, and visited the cities of Cluj-Napoca and nearby Sibiu. At that time I wasn't aware of this great mountainroad that starts not far from Sibiu, the Transfagarasan. Originally developed as a strategic military route during the Ceaucescu regime, it featured in an episode of TopGear and was voted the Best Driving Road.. Not hard to understand why..
I was so close, but yet so far... If I would have known at the time, I would have rented a car for the day and drive there and back!
