First--when and where have I ever spoken about Mr. Remington in those terms? I happen to hold the gentleman in high esteem for his accomplishments, many of which you listed but as we both know could fill a book. What--you think you own personal rights to the guy? Just what the hell was that? If the comments were someone elses, then let me know--and know that I write for myself and no other and I'll be damned if I'll be responsible for what someone else writes.
Secondly--Who are you to throw Mr. Remington into your own personal discussions as if you speak for him? According to your post, he made an off-handed remark. All of a sudden it's "do not doubt the word of Rem?"
You're way off base here. For all the love of history you have about these cars--which I for one have always given you a big "thank you" for sharing with us here, I've never seen you attack another historical figure's accomplishments with so little, and with so much hostility.
Why not call Dick and ask him about it? It's not really Smith vs. Rem, so you don't have to fear the answer--just find out for yourself before you belittle somone else's accomplishments. BTW, Dick's accomplishments do not need to be proven for your personal comfort--you don't believe what he did--disprove it, but don't drag Remington in on it--or was he there?
And another BTW--Dick is an attorney who went into the bonding business because it allows more free time for other interests--such as owning and using his Cobra as well as other things. Excellent pilot as well--he used to fly one of my client's Commanders on occasion (that's where I met him). What's his age got to do with it? This is YOU attacking a really nice guy who won several championships racing a Cobra in the 60s.
Mr. Remington is too much of a gentleman to be used for your own benefit. In this instance--shame on you.
