    Default WIND THERAPY - with my Shelby Cobra roadster

    I'm in Vermont and it's still pretty COLD .... so today I re-installed my battery and took her out for a spin .... OMG the effect was instantaneous .... there's something about a V-8 with basically straight pipes ( they are tuned tho )..... It has a decent heater, but with no top or side windows the heat goes out pretty fast ..... So I made a passenger side tonneau cover .... hell's bells the improvement was hugh , so good in fact I actually turned the fan to lowest setting ( it was 45 F ) ..... Sat. is supposed to be lower 50's and SUNNY .... my favorite place hasn't opened yet..... but they may open early because they are basically take-out so it's legal in VT. ...... do what you can to survive this ...... Mike

    Mike, I love that you still get the thrill from doing the sport car thing. I had my first in 1957 and continued on with 4 Triumphs and 4 Alfa Romeos. I raced, autocrossed, gymkhana'd, slalomed and rallied. Now my sport car is my F3L, but I did this to it....

    Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.
