    Hello From VA

    Hello Forum,
    I am new to the forum and live in Vienna, VA (just about 10 miles from Washington DC). We have a club of Cobra Roadster that meet in The Vienna Inn on Saturday mornings. This is about a mile from my house. When my boys were younger we would love to go down and see them. Now I would love to build one.

    I built a custom motorcycle bobber kit years ago and think I can do a project FFR Roadster someday.
    I joined the forum to learn about how you did your project.
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Welcome Stuart, I'm building a Mk 4 and just got the body on for the first time last week. There are a few other builders up your way and atleast 2 that haven't been on the road very long. I knew about the Vienna Inn but haven't been there since high school (1965). I have a build thread on the other forum same name as here.
