Now that the weather is getting better I have begun using my AC Cobra replica a lot more, and I have begun practicing a new POV setup, which allows me to show a true eye-level view.
If you think I'm driving like a Granny, that's because I am. The internet doesn't need to see my speedometer going above 70.

I’ll be honest, always enjoyed your channel, the last couple of episodes haven’t really been for me, but this… this was pure gold.
his previous video was insane tho
Have to say I love the front suspension on the Dax. Very unique and cool ❤️
I love the story you told about the no. 88 model you had, Also really Happy for you to be a able to own your dream car at such a young age!
Lovely sounding V8.... You need your front wheels balancing or tracking re-aligned as I notice( & probably others too) your steering wheel had a slight wobble
I bet it will be a small flat spot on the front tyres 🤣. The joys of no abs. Did the same thing in my TVR not too long ago could only notice it over 70mph
@@DinosaurJuiceCars ahaha same on my Rover P5B
@@freddieparrydrums love a rover p5b
@@DinosaurJuiceCars Thank you :) It is actually my dads and this idiot pulled out on us randomly, we were going 40 and of course no abs! :)
@@DinosaurJuiceCars my abs wasn’t working on my work van, had to slam on because someone pulled out on me and it wobbled really bad over 60
18:38 that look on her face 😂
I was waiting for this Adam, cheers! Have a good weekend all.
Need more videos like this! Looks like so much fun!
@@jordanaustin4253 Shhhh, let people enjoy things.
Such a lovely sounding & beautiful ride!
Great video Adam! I love POV videos, also love making them myself haha. The Cobra looks like such a cool experience to drive!
Hey Jordie! I remember seeing you at modified live last year 😁
I turned my sub-woofer up to the max and watched this in my shorts.
The hairs on my legs enjoyed this almost as much as you did driving it!
A distant "almost", admittedly.
Great review of your cobra,and loving the revolutions Adam 😁👍
I remember my father owning one, it was a v8 6.3litre chevvy engine, according to the previous owners, it made 500bhp+ I cant remember all the details but I was young, but I watching this video makes me miss it. They're fun cars until winter comes or cold weather and you can't really leave them outside over night without risking a high chance of theft. But damn sometimes when you're on motorway It would always make me go deaf, not sure how to put it but its like the scene from Black Hawk Down when one of the guys shoots next to the other soldier ear. And our vehicle would backfire a lot on start up, it would make car alarms go off.
Nicely done Adam, thank you 💫🙏💫
Love this video Adam! We need more
I would, but this video received fewer than half of my usual viewcount. So it's very unlikely I'll do more.
Sounds lovely mate
Great vid, love the dax cobra. Hope i get to see it in the flesh one day
The POV is so cool!!
Great ride-along!
17:50 I know how that feels. In the healey theres this piece of road that curves up like that and theres trees around the main road. And for the driver to see, I have to lean out and look to the right to see for him and he sees the left since its really tough to spot
Excellent..
I currently own a backdraft RT4 shelby cobra replica with a windsor 427 with exactly the same color and white stripes. I totally agree with your description on performance and the aura this car projects when you get behind the wheel and drive it. I too always wanted this car since I was a small boy and could only dream about it. Great video.👍🤙👌🖖🍻
Listen to all them Eagles!!!!!
Great ending very wholesome. You certainly deserve your cars :)
Great video Adam, Love your passion for the Cobra, they are such an iconic car, I have an AK Cobra very similar to yours, and ditto with the edelbog! lol!, Ive no idea how you get the sound so good in an open car, all i get is wind noise after 30 mph, i built mine in 2006, so is getting ready for refurb, but still enjoy doing the various shows (Mainly American car shows) around the NW, Car people are just great people to be around!
Cool to see you do a POV. Done a few in my little old Fiesta ST150 and seem quite popular
THAT V8 SOUND YO 😍🔥
Everyone loves a blue cobra 😀 I suddenly need to watch the 1970 gumball rally movie with the Cobra and the Daytona
I am a big ford purist but hey that thing still looks amazing and I'm sure is a hoot to drive. Nice!
Need more videos like this
Great ride! Thanks for the video)😼
A good day when Adam posts.
fire dude
you should do this in the Z too!
Subscribed! Thanks for the video😁
You've got a great engine my man, Growing up in Flint, Michigan, I have built and rebuilt more SBCs than I care to remember, I could disassemble and reassemble it with my eyes closed. Back to your Cobra, You have one very nice car, the only thing I don't like about it is it's got right hand steering. You Brits drive on the wrong side of the road! lol. Just joking. Thanks for sharing a snapshot of your life and your Cobra with all of us unfortunates, we do appreciate you, and your Cobra.
we may drive on the wrong side of the road in the UK but hey, at least we don't drive upside-down like those crazy Aussies 😁
I can completely relate to the "cars when a kid" igniting the passion. My favourite toy was a silver Porsche 944. I probably should get around to scratching that particular itch!
That thing is beyond beautiful.
You should make more videos like this 🔥🔥
Agreed! This was excellent.
I love your videos. Need to do some myself with Heart Shaped Glasses 😍
Beautiful v8 , love my ole 5.7 Corvette auto must be lovely having manual box on it
Love the car, love the videos. I visited Alderley Edge yesterday and saw 2 Taycans, a Macan, various Range Rovers, a Rolls Royce coupe (not sure which one it was) a 911, 2 G Wagens, a Ferrari California, and 2 Bentley Continentals. Although I used to work in Crewe so I used to see Bentleys everyday!!!
It's the time of year all the toys come out. I live in a down trodden Norfolk sea side town labelled "4th most deprived in the UK", yet I drive my ST MK3 to see a 2014 plate Vantage (then a DB11 on the A11 a few days later), a Lambo SV heading into Trowse near Norwich, 2 MK5 Supras, a Nissan GTR, 2 Audi R8s, Taycans are becoming more common and I've see a few different 911s too, though GTS is most common, I have seen a GT3 RS as well.
Few months back I coped a wet race up the A11 with a Ferarri 812 Superfast...that nearly spun out near Breckland Lodge (Attleborough). Got a video from my dashcam of it, geezer nearly binned it into the verge.
It's a very nice cobra
Sorry been late, such a beautiful car, great color combination of interior and exterior! And to be onest nice sheepskin jacket, where do you get that?
being able to drive legally through reading revs is actually a good idea, cable to speedo on one of my bikes broke after a trackday but i knew what rev for what speed so i could still keep riding and knowing i was riding at legal speeds.
You drive tax revs all the time.
This phone keeps changing the words it's max revs
Beautiful car and I sooo want 1 ❤
I wear a glove on my right hand to keep it warm, not on the left hand so it's easy to operate switches etc. So many similarities to my V8 Marlin, even down to the Ford ignition key, side pipes, blue harness...
Beautiful car 👍
You should haul that up to North Yorkshire and experience some of the best roads in the world ;) I'll send you an epic route to follow!
I remember burning my leg on a cobra when I was small, it hurt quite a lot!!
The 427 AC Cobra became my favourite when I watched The Gumball Rally in the 70s.. The Ferrari Daytona Spyder wasn't bad either!
So cool I want one
Every Cobra I see is more beautiful than the last
Wow wow hitz sounds awesome thanks beautiful wow fanks
Hi Adam, do you have an Edelbrock carb? If so try moving the accelerator pump actuator along one hole, that is a fairly common fuelling issue on acceleration, the actuator is on the front nearside of the carb. It gives a little extra shot of gas when you accelerate to stop it hesitating/stumbling, the holes give varying amounts of gas (Edit, got to end of vid and you do have an Edelbrock, might not work but very easy to try)
You no doubt prefer V-Power but it's worth checking is Esso Synergy Plus is ethanol free in your area. It is here in Norfolk (including the one right next to Snetterton Circuit), I fill my ST-3 MK3 Focus with it and it runs butter smooth on that stuff.
Tesco Momentum is alright too, but you might want some C10 containing petrol additive or ethanol protection as it can run up to 6-7% EtOH on the Tesco 99. Abuse the hell out of the rewards stuff if you don't already too...5p a litre off Esso fuel with 300 nectar points and money off with Shell after 10 £20 spends/visits. Wouldn't be surprised if you do this already, but if you don't it's worth doing; you'll save yourself a few hundred on fuel each year with the miles you do.
these british roads look awesome, even the freeways (i think you called it a carriageway (wtf is that)) look fun to drive
It’s a dual carriageway with a limit usually of 60, it’s 70 on the motorway
@@andrewphillips470 dual carriageways are 70 mph , single carriageways are 60, motorways are 70 obviously
It's a handful to drive and keep in a strait line.
just got to get some spacers on those rear wheels Adam!
Can't.
Good stream ...
Same issue with filling up with the tvr. If you squeeze it all the way the fuel spits back at you.
I want a backdraft with one crazy motor
I recognized that small tunnel at the start. i went through that in my familys Austin Healey 3000
With the fuel issue check you have baffles in the tank.
And where you pull the fuel from is it the end of the tank.
Not being funny but these cobras are my dream car 😍 one day,great soundtrack to
Stay after it Sir I wanted one before I ever really knew what it was as a very young kiddo. I seen one on the road guess I was 8 at the time long story short 39 years later and I now have one and enjoy every mile driven in it
at 15:38 nowadays it’s fill up your tank empty your bank. It’s a good job you’ve only got a 350 not a 427 filing one of those would be a double mortgage LOL 427 would sound awesome in that tunnel
adam you coming to the scunny meet tonight?
he definetley went and did skids
hey Adam, did i see you at Cannes yacht week ?
Nope
Ho yes nice video internet friend what a car wish I could afford one and run it ;well one can dream .
Always loved the Cobra too - excellent video Adam, really appreciated the tour and driving experience! Seemed a little quieter than usual for the audio, though could just be my PC acting up! Still sounded gorgeous though. Agree with some others that commented about the wobble - may need to add a track and wheel re-balance to the tune-up! Overall though - LOVE IT!! 👍😎
No wobble from my point of view, the video must be doing weird things.
Check on a different steering ratio. Mine would've been lock to lock by the time you made just that right hand turn at the beginning. It makes a huge difference.
It's not that much of an issue for me
Firreeee🔥🔥🔥
😍 👍
I locked up in my Miata the other day in the exact same way.
Did you buy this car in Rotherham by chance? I live near by and saw one being sold at a dealership recently and now it's gone 😯
I bought this car 4 years ago in Essex
Can you do car rewiew but with other cars plz
Do one with the nissan
Hey man I’m going to simply Japan beaulie so plssss goooo there
Beaulieu* Just correcting you. Anyways him being him he probably will
@@TrainsOfDorset yeah
I probably won't this year
@AdamC3046 Oh that’s a huge surprise lol. Guessing you’re still going to the Supercar Weekend though, right?
Your fuelling issue maybe the ethanol in the fuel. Try using Esso 99 octane, it's zero ethanol. It could also just be octane rating, too low for that old motor. That fixed my running problems. Don't swap a Holley in, people telling you that'll fix the problem really don't know that much!
I use the car far too much to fill it with 99 octane, and I doubt that'll be the problem as V-Power has never caused an issue before.
V-Power is 99 Octane but can contain up to 5% EtOH. You're right in that Esso Synergy Plus doesn't contain Ethanol in most of the UK, but without the Nectar 5p a litre off it can burn a hole in your pocket (179.9 in my town currently for Synergy+).
The V8 in his car should be fine with anything more than 97/98, and considering he uses V-Power exclusively I doubt octane is an issue. It is likely the higher water content of the fuel, which fuel additives can help with and are cheaper per tank than filling with fuel that is often times, 2-5p a litre more than V-Power (which isn't cheap itself)
@@S.ASmith it's nothing to do with fuel quality as it has ran fine for 3 years of my ownership with no change in fuel. It will be a different variable
@@AdamC3046 What about just sooting up, mine splutters if I've been pootling around for too long, giving it a blast through the rev range clears the plugs and it's fine. Maybe just needs fresh plugs, or gaps checking? Just trying to help, I know how annoying it is!
@@DavidMBanes It has been to a garage and they couldn't find anything obvious. And I can assure you I give it a blast on every drive
Your English is very good, despite the fact that the steering wheel is on the right side.
The right side is the right side.
I have a 1.8l 06 Honda Civic lx sedan with a cat back exhaust.
and I’m wondering if I should supercharge or turbocharge it.
Or should I sell it and get something else? If you have any recommendations on what I should get under $6500 please let me know🙂
Hold onto it because used car prices are going bonkers all over the place currently, here in the UK and in the US.
@@S.ASmith I’m worried about my civic, there’s going to be a storm and it’s also going to hail
@@TheRealLemongrab car cover or spray on rapid ceramic coating
autoglym do something like that and you don't need much, it's like £12 for a 600ml bottle. Will last you a long time
Tôi là người việt nam tôi rất thích và yêu mến bạn ❤❤❤❤❤
how to turn this on
1:47 I still feel bad for her.
Hey how do I Pm you
"These roads are rubbish" come to Finland :Ddd
Could I take it for a spin please😳👉👈
interesting
she is geogous looking and sounds fan tastic,
I’ve got three 350 sbc vehicles, a 70s, 80s and 90s. None of them leak oil 🤷🏻♂️ must be a maintenance thing you should get looked at. Also I’d put a hog ass cam in that 350, get heads ported and polished. 🤙
Three out of every 350 made is still not a reliable proportion for statistics.
However I've had it looked at, spent thousands already, and have often been told about their proneness to leaks.
@@AdamC3046 where’s it leaking from? I got one with 800,000 miles that don’t leak… js as someone who works on cars, it can be fixed.
@@Yee_Yee various places
@@AdamC3046 🤔 block is probably warp from previous repairs done many times and or not having flush surface due to leaking for so long, you say it’s a 1975 block so. I’ve been around a lot of 350s and the only leaks I’ve encountered that are normal are the oil pan gasket going out after years. I’d still just get a cam with .480 lift and 280 duration. Get the valve train to match, port and polish the heads and get a decent 4 barrel carb if you ain’t got one already and it’ll be mint 👌
@@Yee_Yee It's got a 4-barrell, also upgraded the sump, changed all the gaskets etc etc
Friend broke your window? I thought that was your gf lol
even if its fake its so cool
Still a real car ;)
Eye 👁 Adam what year iz your fake car 🚗 A .but it's stiff gorgeous 😍 👌 .
It's a real car. Just not a real Cobra.
2005.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED I HAVE A NEIGHBOR WHO BUILDS CLASSICS
UK
Not knocking but why don't it have the big bulgey high profile tyres like the real ones ? The big high profile tyres make a Cobra imo. Sounds very nice!
Because low profiles handle much better, and I'd have to buy a full set of new identically-styled wheels and tyres for a minute visual difference
@@AdamC3046 I see. Thanks
@@AdamC3046 i duno what kind of selection you have over there but big and bulging will fit those rims...that said i agree on lower profile handling better. for future reference tire guys get very conservative about changing tire sizes..VERY CONSERVATIVE
i dont know what made them paranoid since the early 90s but therye almost at full conspiracy levels these days.
a couple of sizes in both directions is baby stuff.
and it looks like you have room (maybe not inside without a spacer)
also ignore that carb stuff, yours probably just needs a tune and maybe a small part, edelbrock are great carbs (just a brand argument nowadays)
Scare her some more please 🙏 😬 thanks lol
show off time for a ticket !!!!!!!!!!
We just got a dax cobra at work. Unfortunately the driver run out of talent and its missing the back end.good for parts tho
Guessing you work at a breakers yard and it's a Cat B
@@S.ASmith yes sir
steering a little bit heavy? The engine is the heaviest part of that, get in a old rover p5 much heavier steering
I'm not aspiring towards a car with heavy steering. If I was, I'd have bought a mk2 Jag.
It's not at all proper, practically a sin this having a GM Engine instead of a close matched Ford Engine, which would be the 5.8L in Ford's case, but I think we can all agree that the 427 is the only true Soul Engine for this car.
It's not meant to be proper, I'm sure your 1960s Shelby Cobra has the correct, matching-numbers Ford 427.
But my replica has just as big a V8 to give a smile on my face at a price I can actually afford.
(P.s. Carroll Shelby originally went to Chevrolet to use their V8s before he went to Ford)
