I wait for 8 months of the year to be able to go out for a cruise in the Cobra. Finally, the rains become less frequent, and the sun comes out. The car has been carefully gone over, oil changed, lubed, clamps tightened, etc. ...Perfect !
I get in some really nice runs in late May. Out cruising on some of the Island's windy country roads. I can let it breath a little, out on the highway.. June has a few wet days, (which seems to be getting more typical the last couple of years,) but July starts off really nice,. Love the evening cruises,with the long daylight hours. Often I could get a nice run in, and be back home before it was dark, thereby avoiding the suicidal deer, that seem to purposely want to jump out in front of you.
So come late July, and the weather is still beautiful and still rain free.. But it is hot...Very, very, hot... It starts getting hot at 8 am, and stays hot until around 10 pm.. It's actually to darn hot to go cruising. Between the heat from the sidepipes, engine compartment, a dark interior,, and the sun beating down on you, I just can't handle the heat..
No AC in the AC Cobra..So it gets to mellow back in the shop, free of tree sap, and bird shit..
Bloody ironic isn't it. You wait months for nicer weather, so you can get out and drive, but then it's just too damn nice..
