I am leaving for the London Cobra show Thursday afternoon. I was just curious if anyone else is going.

Yep, quick roadtrip for me, my dad and my son! (we'll be the young guy (22), the old guy, and the older guy wearing white GCC shirts)
Leaving Friday morning and coming home Saturday evening. I'll look for you Dean (but I'm more likely to recognize your car before I recognize you!) :D

Weather is looking pretty good with highs in the mid 70's Friday and Saturday. Sunny with clouds and just a chance of an isolated shower.

You guys have a great time this weekend while I run the Exige around Gingerman. Hopefully we'll all have great weather.

Update...
We left home at 7:30 am this morning and had a flat coming through Arnold on a brand new tire that was mounted yesterday. Pulled to the shoulder.... Changed to compact spare...went to Plaza Tire to learn that the leak was from a defective valve stem. But....they would not remount the new tire because the tire sidewall was damaged internally from running with insufficient air... However, a new tire of the same size and type was no where to be found in St. Louis. Cape was the only location that had one and they would not deliver until Friday afternoon.
We limped home on the spare and have a new replacement tire ordered for delivery Monday.
So.....we are not going to be at London this year.
Also had to cancel our room reservation and got charged one night cancellation fee.....:mad:
You guys have fun....and take plenty of pictures...especially any "street" 427's with undercar exhaust and no stripes.

That's terrible Kerry. What size tire are you running that's no where to be found??
I'll definately be taking lots-o-pics! Put a fresh charge on the battery last night. ;)

Sorry to hear that Kerry. I had a similar issue with Putnam in April. Couldn't get the tire until Monday. I'm sure the guys will take tons of pictures.

The tire is a Falken ZE912 205-55R-16 V91....
Also described as "that mother Falken tire...."
This has been a day...:(
After canceling our trip to London we decided to take advantage of the good weather and go down to the farm to work for three days.
We arrived this evening to find that the electric was off and had been off for several days trashing everything in the refrigerator and freezer...
All the neighbors had power and said they had not experienced an outage for months.
But...for us...No electric = no water = no plumbing...
So.....we had to drive another 45 mins back to Farmington and report the outage to UE. Their service truck won't be out to even check on the outage until tomorrow afternoon.
Some days are just full of brick walls you keep running into.

Dean, was your car featured at the Hurricane display? I think I saw it there.
Also, I met a guy up there, but couldn't remember his name, but he said he met Clyde before and was asking if he made it up. I think he was from OCC and drove a Red roadster.
I think it was this one:
