PREVIOUS EVENTS – 2023
2023 was better from a COVID point of view, but still too few outings and members attending!
Sunday 10th June – Philadelphia breakfast run
Ross arranged a great breakfast run to Philadelphia – unfortunately 4 of the 9 starters (literally) had problems, but those that made it through had a great albeit chilly morning.
Saturday 19th August – Cobra Hire Coffee
Just a short coffee and buns meet up at Cape Cobra Hire workshop. Great to catch up with friends.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday 22/23/24 September – Cobra Club of SA visit
About 50 Cobras belonging to the Cobra Club of SA descended on Cape Town for a long weekend event. Unfortunately the Cape weather threw up a red warning so only the Friday get together at Canal Walk, and the mountain passes drive on the Saturday we able to proceed. It was super to meet with the guys from the north, and many locals joined the drive on Saturday which included Bains Kloof, Du Toits Kloof, Franschhoek Motor Museum (60 Cobras), Franschhoek pass, and Clarens Drive. That evening, the Cape experienced unbelievable rain, causing Franschhoek pass and Clarens Drive to be closed for many weeks! The Sunday drive over Chappies was cancelled as Chappies too was closed.
Sunday 29th October – Coffee & Cars Show
A good turnout of Cobras on a superb day at the Festival Of The Machines/Coffee & Cars event at Sandringham Estate in Stellenbosch.

Sunday 5th November – Killarney Motor Show
Superb weather for another good show at Killarney race track. Unfortunately only 6 of us made it for our stand, but nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves. The show has lots to see, so the day passes fairly quickly. Not quite as many exotic cars as in the past with now many “souped” up cars outnumbering the real classics.
Sunday 3rd December – Peninsular ride
Looking forward to posting a review and pictures from this event.
