    The Cobra wheels look great on the Vert. Your '93 Cobra looked like a really nice car. Sorry it got stolen. Looks like that picture was taken at Maple Grove. I was there in '94 and '96 with my 1969 Cougar Eliminator. I sold the car last year.

    Not going that route at the moment Mike. I don't want car payments & higher insurance rates. Thanks for your help though brother. The wheels in the back yard are the factory Pony wheels that I just put away downstairs. The black one's sold today thanks to CL.

    Very nice Mike! Just curious being you currently have 3 "fun" cars and a daily...How often do you drive the fun ones? Is there a specific one you drive more than the rest? Purely curious, I have two "fun" cars and one is pretty much my daily driver on nice days in the summer, while the mustang is more just novelty haha.

    Thanks man. You're right, that pic of my '93 Cobra was taken at Maple Grove (June '95) a week before she was stolen. Why did you sell the Cougar?

    Thank you Colin. I just take turns driving them. But since this is the newest one to me, she'll get more time for now. lol
    I drive them on my days off as long as the weather cooperates.

    I thought that was Maple Grove. I had owned the Cougar since 1987 and got it to a point that I didn't feel comfortable driving it. I would haul it anywhere I took it. That got old really fast. More fun driving them. Just couldn't bring myself to drive it plus it needed some drivetrain work to make it really drivable from not being driven for so long. The last time I drove it any distance was to Maple Grove in '94. It is now in Canada. Plus, I think it was just time for a change. I couldn't be happier with what I have now.

    Plus, I really wanted another '86 Capri since I missed the one I let go in 1991.

    Those wheels looks so much better. Now you just need a nice set of Cobra tail lights and the car would be perfect.

    Very nice. Looks great. Although I would be tempted to get 93 cobra bumpers, skirts, and tail lights to go along with them. I am a bit biased on the wheels.

    Ask & you shall receive...



    I swapped out the 'cheese grater' tail lights for some '93 Cobra/SVO tail lights & added the '93 Cobra deck lid emblem as well. Still working on the fender emblems.
    Thanks for your compliment.
