Shelby Cobra

Just a clip from a lazy top-gear ride across Wallace's Scotland, returning from a nice day racing at Knockhill in my RAM SC Cobra.
Car is geared for high-speed low-rev mile-eating....shifting into top gets about 100mph for 2500rpm.
Still plenty fast off the line in real times.
Busted the gearbox 2 miles from home after 565 miles of blastin.
Shit happens. ;-)

Hi Phil, when is that trip?

Last year The 289 Register Scottish Road Trip was awesome! Driving from West Yorkshire, meeting up at The Lake District and on to Glasgow. Next day from Glasgow to Stirling and Perth Then North via Cairn O' Mount and on to Inverurie Via Balmoral. Next day, head South, pass through Glenshee, stopping off at the Famous Grouse, then onward to Crieff followed by the Dukes Pass and arriving at the Lake of Menteith. The last day on to Stirling and Ediburgh then south to Barnard Castle, N Yorks - home.

Hi,

The Scottish Road Trip takes place on 28 - 31 May.

During the trip we visit the owner of several AC cars, including Ace, Cobras and the famous A98.

A98 was the aerodynamic Cobra Jack Sears drove up the M1 in 1964 in excess of 185mph. And, in the same year was crashed at 24 Hour Le Mans. The car has undergone a long and detailed restoration.
