Be careful here, Ron, since you may be accused of screwing the O.P. yourself. May I say to the CC gang, thanks for the supportive and often humorous comments - they are appreciated. I have to believe David felt he was not sufficiently honored in the registry for having taken a car he felt was beat-up and paying for a mega-restoration, thereby turning it into a thing of beauty and realizing a healthy profit when he decided to sell it. David - well done! You have accomplished what a great number of folks in the same registry have, yet only you have said you got screwed because you weren't somehow accorded enough space, adulation, or whatever you felt was missing from the write-up on 3301. As for your suggestion that I could have mentioned how you "drove it all the time," well ... I show that in the first 4-5 years you owned it, the car had 320 miles put on it, for less than 80 miles per year. If that equals driving it all the time in your book, so be it. I thought otherwise. Fact is, I do my best to produce what is intended as a historical review of early Cobra production/ownership, where the cars are the focus rather than their owners. I apologize to you that you felt slighted in some way, however your assertion that the 3301 footnote got you "screwed by Ned Scudder" is nothing more than a stupid and arrogant misstatement of the facts.
