Cheers guys,
   
   I can see why certain owners get a bit annoyed about replicas (I have seen some really bad ones) but we are all car enthusiasts in the end aren't we? I built my Dax because I wanted to build a car and it's definitely not a replica.
   I just thought the Dax fitted all my requirements perfectly and I'm proud of the fact I built it and consider it rather well built. (but I would, wouldn't I?)[;)]
   
   
   Not sure when the little coupe will be back over this way but if he is on the day I will ask for a lift up to the pub although I live about 2 minutes walk from there so may just take a stroll over myself. We have just finished rebuilding the engine and changing all the front axle on the coupe so that's why it was being road tested last weekend. The roads around Surrey are great for testing suspension![;)]
   If you see someone looking over the cars next time then please come and say hello.[:)]
   
   Just out of interest, anyone planning on going to the Cranleigh car show? Only 5 minutes drive from the Parrot and a great show if the weather is good.

   I will have a chat with them sometime and see what they can do.

Hi Chaps
   
   I was driving though Forest Green today in my Dax and saw quite a few nice looking cars parked at the Parrot inn.
   I am a poster on the Cobra replica club forum and I know it wasn't us so I guessed they must have been genuine AC's.
   
   All cars looked great parked up there and I should have stopped and taken a look.
   
   I live very locally to the parrot and am also partly responsible for the little 1932 HotRod you may have seen driving about today. It was him who told me to get my car out and go for a drive!
   
   If I see you again would I be welcome to stop and take a look at your cars or will I get chased off with genuine AC spinner mallets? [;)][:D]

Hello
   
   I am a new member here at the AC owners club and this is my first post so please be gentle[:D]
   
   I must confess first of all to not owning an AC but owning a look-a-like cobra built by myself from components supplied by Dax cars. It is not really meant to be a replica and I didn't try to make it that way, It has no AC badges or Cobra badges on it and it has quite a few modern features on it. The only people who ask if it's a real one don't really have a clue what car they are looking at anyway.
   
   Back to the point..
   
   I was at the Guildford cruise on Sunday 6th May and met a very nice chap who brought along 2 1966 427 Cobras (sorry but I didn't catch you name) Whilst we were talking he mentioned a company called Thunder Road in Woking who may be able to help me out with getting my engine setup properly and possibly doing the geometry on the suspension.
   
   I have searched the internet but can't find a mention of them anywhere. Does anyone know who I am on about and if they have a phone number or even a web site.
   
   Thanks for your help.
   
   Craig.
