Stan,
I always have plenty of Vintage Watches.
"If you wanna have a good time..
....you gotta have a good watch!!
As for the rest of the Shelby bashers
Extortion? In my opinion, I don't see it that way.
This club wouldn't be around and we would all probably be out driving Studebakers if it wasn't for Carroll Shelby. Lets face it, he made the car famous period. AC would have just continued to make underpowered roadsters and eventually go out of business (which they have seemed to do a number of times since the "Original Cobra Days") if the Shel man didn't come along.
Yes, Carroll went a differernt direction after the emmissions days and had little to do with the Cobra stuff but, lets face it, Cheverolet has not made 1963 Corvettes since 1963 right? Go try and make a copy and call it a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette without paying Chevrolet. Would we say it is OK for them and not Shelby to have a claim to some form of royalties because they are GM?
Not one of the Kit car manufacturers would have made a copy of a Cobra if it wasn't for Carroll Shelby. How come no-one makes a copy of the AC Greyhound or 4 cylinder Aceca? I think we all know the answer.
Whenever CS came out of his Shell (no pun intended) and asked for a little recognition money whether it was personally or through his charity, what would be the big deal in the scheme of things?
I believe in the live and let live thing. A little more, a little less
What's the difference??
-Just my 2.5 cents
