Plastic toys I miss...

This was my second Cobra, sold it in 2006 :-( sniff...
(I still have my first Cobra, but its very much in kit-form and its still in SA)

I miss it the most when I see open top cabrio's moseying around on sunny Friday afternoons.
In the last year I owned it, I only managed to do about 500kms in the whole year. Mostly because I couldn't strap my daughter's car seat in, (no safety belts), and therefore couldn't drop her off at day care on the way to work.

A pocket rocket in a straight line due to the limited slip diff, the handling left a lot to be desired in the curves. The tyre rubber compound was fairly hard, which meant they lasted quite a long time, but stopping the brute in an emergency was best not attempted.

Specs: Chevy 350ci, Muncie 4 spd cog swapper, Jaguar LSD and suspension all round.
