2012 Huntington Beach Cruise-In Moment of Thunder
Courtesy of someone else, who uploaded this year's Huntington Beach Moment of Thunder in record time. If the hairs on the back of your neck don't stand-up to this, I doubt you have a pulse.....

I was right next to a cobra with an insane exhaust note. The hair was literally standing up on my neck like you said. What a show!

Were you referring to the gray with silver stripes roadster?

Erik; you're a stones-throw away from me but I've never seen you out and about. Where are you hiding that thing?

Right now it's hiding in the garage but it will be back together by the weekend. I try to hit C&C and I think I've seen your car there a couple of times. I may need a hand guiding the engine back in there. Let me know if you're around and want to grab a beer! I live over by Soka.

Absolutely! I know the area - PM me and I'll stop-by. Saturday morning is quality GTM time, and I do love the smell of gasoline in the morning..... try to get over to C&C fairly regularly. Hope to see you out there too; a friend will have his GTM there in a few months, so maybe we can also park a few FFRs together?

BTW - Did you go down to the Cruise-In in a FF? I hit PCH at about 8.10am - it worked-out that I approached the Laguna Beach Java hut just as a bunch of Cobras were pulling out! Talk about perfect timing!

<Edit> I guess I wasn't in the right place when they were handing out the awards! They always told me to pay more attention when I was at school.....

I posted that YouTube video - thanks for noticing!

I am getting ready to order a Coupe Kit this month, thanks to Dave's 50-50 sale!
