Ugh.... I do NOT like seeing pics like that. Especially DSG/MG Cobras.... Gives me goosebumps.

 

[CompOrangeStang]

Sad to see an MG Cobra go...

again....thx fellas....:beer:

hoping to start a FS thread and sell some of my "hard to come by" parts soon.....

parts i know of off hand are the built IRS, seats, full exhaust, rear quarter panels, rear decklid, and a ton of cosmetic pieces.

Sorry to see your Cobra in such bad shape but thank God your not terribly injured.

As a Ford tech it must have been a mechanical issue with the throttle cable, accelerator pedal or throttle body. A iac or tp sensor would not cause a runaway engine.

i'm starting to lean this direction myself. not going to bad mouth anyone, but i will be contacting that company as well. i did have them replace a defective one just recently.........coincidence????

[SVT Hess]

I just saw this, I saw the first sentence and closet my laptop. Took me a couple of minutes before I could come and see the actual carnage. Good to hear you are ok. Ive always loved your car man

 

[stangfreak]

glad your ok, but I cant imagine the feeling. I bought mine back in 03 and still own it. I grew such a bond with the car. Get another one if you can

 

[weaselp1]

Still feeling numb.....:nonono: Going to hold off on another for now and see what the future brings. Hardest thing right now is finding a comparable DD.

Holy shit that is scary -- glad you're OK!

I will be up for finding out what the final results is with your electrical problem. I just saw the TSB for the accelerator the other day. I may go and get it taken care of!

UPDATE: i've started a FS thread in the terminator parts section

also, i have a call into FoMoCo, and waiting on findings
