A couple more shots from the gathering.

I broke out the Cobra for the 2nd time this year. Mike brought his Boxster Spyder, which I borrowed to pick up my daughter from Irish Dance class. She went nuts. Huge P-car fan.

I honestly don't know what model Alfa this is. My buddy Drew was driving it. Drew is a professional mechanic at a euro shop somewhere north of me. Turned out he's friends with a beast of a MTBer I know in the area (our local Snap On guy). I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Small world. Drew used to be a coach for California Superbike School, which is kind of cool. The Tesla in front is a Model 3 Performance, which replaced a 991 4S 'vert 6MT. I'm a little conflicted on that...

No good pics of the early '60s Tbird convertible that another friend brought. His dad was driving one when he met his mom a million years ago. They were both doing singing for commercials (!). He bought another a few years ago for old time's sake.

Also an EV6, which looked great but I didn't get a chance to take a look.

EDIT: I didn't take any pics of the birthday boy's cars. He has a supercharged Elise, an R32 GT-R, BMW F80(? before it got so ugly) M3, and a Mercedes E63S wagon.

Meant to ask that day if the Cobra was a project or a runner. Was my childhood fav car and would love to do one as a project but never sure if i would fit in one (my tall curse 😂 ).
 
Rennsport Dragon Rally was last weekend.

How was getting insurance? I hear it's tough finding one in NJ for home garage kit cars

I have liability-only through USAA. It was no problem but they won't do full coverage.

The only problem I've had is that every few years, the state tells USAA that the VIN is not valid. The VIN that the state of NJ assigned the car through the reconstructed vehicle process. 🙄

It's quite a mess, but I kept a log on a web site with my very sweet 1MP camera (it was nice at the time!): http://www.exit109.com/~mfennell/cobra
