You may find some Cobra replica owners near you who will take you for a ride in their cars so you may experience their setups firsthand, very valuable information indeed.

I'll keep an eye out for some Cobra replicas today, when I'm at work.

Where do you work? That does not look like anywhere in America. The street is far too unorganized.

Lovely Herat, Afghanistan.

Yesterday was a dust storm and today was a rain storm. In a couple days it will be hotter than blazes.

Ahh, I have many friends that "vacationed" there for extended periods.  They didn't spend that much time in town tho, they mostly hiked in the mountains.  :)

I'm working there, temporarily.

I also belong to a Land Cruiser forum, and this is Land Cruiser heaven, so there's tons to talk about in reference to the vehicles.

FEs and Cobra replicas... meh, not so much. ;)
