wisconsin FFR owners

[Cfehrenb]

The Madison area does seem to be the most central location for all of us (some of which are from eastern WI, some from western WI, some from northern IL, and some from a bit farther north).

And, Saturday, May 5 is supposed to have beautiful weather finally.

Yes, weather looks excellent!!! Approx 72-78 degrees on Saturday. Yesterday’s 2 inches of rain washed off salt on LaCrosse roads. Hopefully Madison received the same. One route on Saturday is considering use of Merrimack ferry. Looking forward to meeting up.

Really Sten, scrap the donor?. I was growing rather fond if it sitting all high up on jack stands. It kind of classed up my garage. I suppose all good things must come to an end. I just need to remove the engine and trans and it will be good to go.

I'm in for a Madison cruise on Saturday. Had the car out on Monday and the roads were pretty dusty but the rain should have cleared that off pretty well.

I worked at Epic for many years so I can help out with a campus tour.

I am becoming more amazed everyday at how many cobra owners are in the area. This is fantastic.

I agree, Jay. We need to create more opportunities for all of us to get together.

[Bren]

So, do people want to meet up for coffee/lunch, then go for a drive on Saturday? Meet up around 11:00am somewhere around Madison? Maybe M-N-M coffee in Waunakee?

[Cfehrenb]

Yes, I’ll be there. I can meet anytime after 9am on Saturday - just let me know what time we settle on.

[Cfehrenb]

Show of hands - who all plans to meet? RobW (Rob), Bren (Brenden), Fixit (John), Gumball (Chris), Thickcobra (Jay), Steno (Sten), SlowLeak (Jamie), and myself (CraigF). Show of hands, who is in. Anyone else?

[steno]

I am at a golf event Saturday a.m. near the Dells. I plan to swing by on the way home. See you all if you're there.

I passed a couple cobras last Summer. One on Hwy 12 and one on J near the Elegant Farmer.

This former cheesehead misses those apple-caramel pies-in-a-bag from the Elegant Farmer. I'll cruise with you guys in spirit.

That's a pretty good sized group. This should be fun!

[steno]

Just an idea... we should head over to the university and take a photo. Dave Smith graduated from there. Might get a kick out of it!!

Sounds like a great idea. Another topic, I don't remember, but do you have a convertible top. Just curious.

[RobW]

9 am Saturday. Sounds like a plan.

Can everyone who is interested in joining tomorrow, PM me their cell phone contact? Once I have several people I’ll place us in a group text — allowing us all to quickly contact each other. So far I have: Bren, Sten, CraigW contact info.

I do not have a top, but I do have a rain suit!

Rainx and painters tape!

Well, I finally got my front suspension put back together today. My alignment specs are way out of whack - positive camber on both wheels and 0" of toe. I haven't even bothered to try to measure caster yet.

But it's good enough to drive around to the coffee shop tomorrow. It's still way better than it was for the first few years.

[Gumball]

Hope you guys had fun! Sorry I couldn't make this first-of-the-season outing, but I was hauling 7074's new garage mate home from Florida. At least I got a preview of summer and enjoyed the shade of palm trees for a day or so.

Hope to get together with you guys soon!

Now that's a sweet ride. We went to the Bahamas in March and never get tired of palm trees. But, now it's driving season here for our cars so let the cruises begin.

I came late to this thread. Looks like the event already happened. :-(
Many more days of sunshine to come!

[Alig2]

Was too early for me too. Should finally be legal on Thursday. Taken 12 weeks, gotta love IL bureaucracy.

[RobW]

It was a great day. Thanks again!

[ThickCobra]

Just an observation. I can't believe how long this thread has grown.

[steno]

I was thinking the same thing Jay!

[abdw-wcw]

It was a great day. 300 miles for me that day and 250 the day before. Lots of Cobra time.

dpariso,
I saw the picture in your profile and thought I recognized that stripe. I searched your posts and saw that Jeff told you about the history of that car.

I really wish you could have made it last weekend because I basically have the twin to your car. Well...not in looks, so maybe a sibling. Scott (the original owner) and I built our cars at the exact same time using the same motor. We emailed back and forth for years with questions to each other.

He started in St. Louis and ended in Columbus I believe. The two cars have been together just once, I think. One year in London shortly after we both finished.

Now that they are both Northern IL, we'll have to get them together sometime. Any chance you're going to London? We leave Chicago with 3 cars and meet with Jeff in Indy. By they time we roll into London it's about a dozen cars. You should join us. Awesome road trip.
