    First drive!

    I drove my coupe yesterday for the first time! I just went up and down the driveway (it's a long driveway) and did a little burn out. Loud and fast, can't wait to get it on the street. Hopefully in the spring.

    I have no idea why the photos are upside down. Sorry.

    Well done! The first drive is a huge mile stone.
    My cobra felt awful, steered terrible but I couldn't have cared less!

    Can't wait to do it over again in my coupe

    Thanks all for the kind words. It was a bit exiting and a bit nerve wracking at the same time. But definitely fun.

    Good one John.
