It started with just a few drops of rain. And then it got worse. Behind the scenes on our photoshoot with the AC Cobra 260 for issue 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When life gives you lemons, you pull a long face and you get on with the job. So far, we have almost always managed to \u2018save the shoot\u2019, even if conditions were less than ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thought it wasn\u2019t too bad when the first tiny drops of rain materialized on the badge. Honestly, we\u2019ve been in much worse. Not a problem, it\u2019ll go away. And even if it persists, we can work with this. Perhaps it\u2019s important to note that we find ourselves in the South of England. Granted, it was a long time since we were last in the UK, and maybe we should have been a bit less optimistic. Or a bit more realistic. It does rain in the UK, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One stoic owner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By the time we were out on the road for the driving pictures, it still wasn\u2019t too bad. By the time we were ten miles out, it was. You have to hand it to the owner, he did not seem to care one bit. But for the pictures, this wasn\u2019t the best thing. It\u2019s not a general rule, but often it applies: shit weather makes for shit pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overheating in the cold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, the Cobra made it clear even in the cold and in the rain, it did not like to trundle behind the camera car. Which it demonstrated by spewing steam and hot water. An overheating car in the rain, it\u2019s something else altogether. It also made one thing clear: with the rain continuing to come down in buckets, and with the car overheating; this photoshoot was not going anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we moved it a couple of days. Bright sunshine, scenic British coastline. Life\u2019s great\u2026 and then we ran out of fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyhow, we warmly advise you to read the whole story behind this most interesting of AC Cobras, chassis CSX 2005, the car students used at the Carroll Shelby<\/a> School of High Performance Driving at Riverside. Now in issue 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
