where is it?

TheSneakiness · 15-12-2005, 12:47 PM

The sheds are located in Buderim, on the Sunshine Coast. It's about a 10 minute drive from work (for me anyway).

klawsterfobik · 15-12-2005, 12:51 PM

well thats me out of the question...

chief · 15-12-2005, 03:03 PM

I would love to go. I have relatives on the Sunshine Coast. Great reason to go and see them.

You're right, they don't have an XC Cobra. But they have the 1978 Moffat Dealer Team Ex Colin Bond "Cobra" that is now in its 1977 livery & they do have an XBGT 'Group C' coupe that ran as a "Cobra" in 1979 with John Goss and Henri Pescarolo. I have heard they are going to fit a 302 cleveland and an automatic to really get her honking...

: if they want it to honk they could ask GRNKPR for a lend of his honking windsor with a manual as autos are for guys who cant work a clutch

With a 302C and a slush box the only thing that would be honking would be the horn!

Me thinks that the comment about the 302 and auto was a big tongue poke at the people who think an XC Cobra is the greatest muscle car ever.... when most of them couldn't pull the skin off of a custard...

Your windsor is a bit camp don't you think GRNKPR? Surely a 302 clevo would stitch it up?

Now I have to work out how many products I can buy. I'm sure once won't be enough for me to see and drool.
