Well, I only lasted 9 months without a Cobra. I sold my 04 Torch Red Coupe last December and started to look for new options. At first, another Cobra was not on the list. I looked into used Corvettes, Vipers, Mustangs (both SVT and non-SVT), pretty much any American sports type car. I even looked at some used Porsches. I was pretty much capping myself at 50k, even though I didn't really want to spend that much. So after looking at numerous options, I kinda realized there was not that much out there that I wanted to spend my money on. Just when I was ready to quit looking for a while, I ran across this local 03 MG Vert. I had an 01 MG Vert that was great except for the lack of power, although 13.8 in the quarter is not slow. I went and test drove it a few days later and my heart was set. I would be back in a Terminator. So I picked it up a few weeks ago, but with work travel I didn’t have time to clean it and get pics. After a wash yesterday, I decided to take some pics. Of course it rained last night so it is a little dirty. Engine needs detailed too.
