Exactly!!!! Like I've stated before don't say something online that you wouldn't say in person.
And on that note I faltered once here calling MrMustang delusional when he came at me. I couldn't find the thread but I do apologize for that one.

The problem I see here is we are not face to face so it is impossible to read some of the responders and the way they choose to word their threads. When we read something that hits a nerve it is next to impossible not to fire back.
We all come from different parts of the world, different backrounds, building skill levels, dedication to originality, income levels, the list goes on. What I choose for a means of getting that Cobra experience should having nothing to do with its underpinnings or credentials. Those that choose to put themselves above that hope it makes them happy.
In the end isn't it the way of the world, sure hope the day never comes we all need huge fences around our homes. We sure have to be vigilant when it comes to our choice of politicians, losing so many middle class scares the heck out of me. We may need a lot more than fences to protect us.

Ummm can I get a cliff notes version sent to my secretary so I can respond.
Basically I wrote this to show a certain someone the choice words used, joke absurd...
AND because I thought Thor would get a kick mentioning Chevy...
Having said that if you want to play in the sandbox boys please bring some sand with you. Thing is Evan the difference is knowing when someone is being an asshole and being clueless of being one. You brought the asshole term into the thread not I and opinions of other members statements.
And Al you are so silly I'm hiding now....I don't read everything on this board...actually very little.
Now then since I just glanced over most of the posts does Evan still not understand he owns a replica?
I stated it in simple terms, not for anyone else. I write for myself mostly...
The term "other" is for my use. Enjoy what you have.
But I do wish terms like ERA Cobra, Kirkham Cobra,... could be used instead of Cobra.
Now no one is going to understand this because you don't have my experiences as I don't have yours. Ever since Bugatti placed personal info in their owners club over 50+ years ago my family has not provided any information to outside sources on ownership of the family's vehicle's.
On another note... when I left the military in the late '80's and created a unique company which re-created my mentor's red cell group, posting a picture of a car we own would go against basic principles that we live by and those protocols we advised our clients.
From time to time over the decades some people do "stupid ****" and there have been threats to some degree, but hell if I'm going to make it easier for anyone. I already posted a picture of my brothers 289 and if you missed it well too bad. It was mixed in with a bunch of others. I'm not here for your entertainment. Hopefully when I do get into histories you may learn something.
Now here's something of interest and Shelby should have done this instead of being deceptive with CSX 3056?- CSX 3099 and stating he had some left-over tubs.
Jaguar in the 1960' produced a lightweight version of their E-Type for private racers. Briggs Cunningham raced 3 of these models at Lemans in 1963. All but one was aluminum bodied. Jaguar assigned 18 chassis numbers but only produced 12 race cars. Now 50 years later Jag's Heritage division is producing the remaining six vehicles. This is a first for Jaguar. They will be built exactly to the same specs as 1960's. Hopefully this will be an excellent possible vintage race car.
Now would you call this a lightweight E type, replica, or continuation, or all three? Sorry just confused with all the definitions being quoted by......
Just remember "The loudest one in the room is usually the weakest in the room."
OK carry on....
