It's 7:30AM on a clear 35*F fall Saturday morning and you own a Cobra Roadster Kit Car. What are you doing ? Driving it, of course !

I had to hustle a bit to catch up to this dood on the highway, but he was rockin' the Cobra well with his warm head/face gear. The car looks like it's tugboatin' a bit because he saw me trying to snap a pic and gave the mighty Cobra the beans. Oh the sounds...

(Apologies for the unfortunate framing with my side mirror in it. The crop algorithm on my potato destroys blurs images.) EDIT: Now properly cropped.

A potato is the Oppo name for an iPhone or sometimes other phone. But mainly iPhone.

Oh! I have one of those. I am going to start calling it a potato and not explaining it to everyone.

Obviously people need to Oppo more.

iPotato is an iPhone...

The other cell phone cams are just Potatoes AFAIAC.

Most of the time the photos look like crap and the 'taken with my potato-cam' explains the quality, but the cameras on cell phones are becoming quite impressive...

My 8MP Samsung SGH-I927 does a nice job... This shot is through a window @ uhhhh, 65mph - yeah that's it. 65mph. ;-)

I really want to make one of these, but with the 3.2l I6 from an E46 M3. That way, I'll have a kit AC Bristol, rather than a more ubiquitous kit-Cobra.

Also, one of the engines available in the Ace was a Bristol I6, which was a development of the pre-war BMW I6 in the 328. It all works so nicely.
