Hope so! If it is I think she'll need to come to the UK in order to promote the seats more.

Does she need an interpreter??

Update

Christer - 2 photos of Cobra Misano seats in 996 at SEMA show in Vegas.

Apparently, they weigh in at about 10kg each. Entire backrest section is carbon fibre. Only other carbon composite recliner is in the Enzo...

Yes, yes, fantastic news about the seats. But I think the question that's on everyone's mind, Rob, is who won MCS2004?

Don't know who won...probably still deciding. If it was me, I'd want to do another round of interviews (1:1)

No idea re control *****!

Cannot argue here. Our only saving grace is that we can make fun of the way people in Mississippi talk.

Thanks for the follow up, Rob. While I appreciate Miss McCurry's flared fenders and taught suspension, I still believe Christa's top-end rebuild made her worthy of the title. Well, there's always next year.

Rob,

Please bear in mind that I now have to consider whether anyone who might visit here would find things embarassing or offensive.

With this in mind, I suggest that if you have any more pictures like this, you send them to me first, so that I can give them a thorough vetting.

Ta.



P.S. 10kg each, you say?!

Not to mention the 'twin airbags'...

John - I'll be sure to send them to you first in future!

...and yes, 10kg each. The backrest untrimmed (I've seen one) can be picked up with one finger. What do standard seats weigh?
