I was browsing in a local hooby shop and saw a nicely done 1/18th scale Cobra in the display case. The guy behind the counter sees me looking at it and says, "I drove one of those on the Autoban once - I got it up to 220." I give him a your-totally-full-of-@#$ look, and he says, "uuuhh, that is 220 km/h." I say, really that must have been fun and start to walk off. He then says "you know Kurt Shelby (yes he said Kurt) only sold three of them in the US before OSHA (yes OSHA!
) outlawed them." I reply that Caroll Shelby sold several hundred and that the originals are still street legal. He says, "No, I used to work for OSHA and...blah blah blah" I leave the shop, never to return.
