My FIA Arrived In Florida

[Rickd]

After a 3 day delay due to a trailer break down, the car transporter finally arrived yesterday morning with my Unique 289 FIA, chasis 9299. Got my insurance certificate this afternoon .. and had a chance to take her around the block in the neighborhood a few times after work this evening. What a BLAST to drive. The car is absolutely beautiful to look at .. but driving it is something else altogether. She only has 2000 miles on her, and I have a cobra mechanic (maintains cars for Enzo Alibrandi of the Finish Line and several other cobra owners in Miami .. plus he drives a FF that he built with all new components)that will help me review the car from top to bottom on Saturday. Then Sunday a run down to Key Largo and out Card Sound Road to Ocean Reef & back. Can't wait.

Congratulations! Not knowing the car's mechanical "soundness", you made the right move having it shipped.

You have to respect (and enjoy) the raw power these cars have, so happy driving and keep the greasy side down ;)

Congrats Rick, from your twin (obviously they weren't identicals) sister car and it's owner.

9299, 9229, and 9299, this is getting confusing............:)

Russ, I tried to post some pics but the files were all too big. What's the secret? By the way .. my FIA "the OTHER 9299" is Viking Blue .. but with a red team stripe. All of my neighbors are giving me the 'thumbs up' as I drive through the neighborhood. One guy said the other day " I haven't seen anyone that excited about anything since my son was waiting for his first bike as a kid". I was a kid when CS introduced the Cobra! Life is good!!!

P.S. the secret is to reduce the size of the pic. to 100 kbs (site limit). You need photo editing software to do that, or else reduce the image quality of your camera to probably the lowest setting.
