Boy oh Boy, when you log on late at night you have to read a lot of stuff to see what is going on.
Some asked who the perp was but I think we have all met him, or his clone, at the car shows we participate in. He is the guy who thinks that a replica is some sub standard piece of junk. He can't see that most of the newer products are actually superior to the originals in the performance and safety issues.
To top that off the closest he probalby came to owning a Cobra was to want to buy a Corvette that a Cobra thrashed at the track.
I think back at the number of people that have asked if my car was an M-G, an Austin-Healey, a Trimph or some other fondly remembered "60s sports car that some one drove that they had a crush on and can't help but wonder if that is what he had a ride in at the ripe old age of 12.
If he knew anything about Cobras you would thint that he would have been on board trying to help some of the ones who have asking questions during their builds, especially the questions concerning originality.
At least one would expect that he would chime in and tell the rest of us that our responses were off base even if he didn't provide the correct information. This leaves me with the impression that he is so insecure about his claimed knowledge that he dosen't dare offer an opinion for fear that someone might disagree with him, and have the proof to back it up.
Reading his post, I have to agree that I didn't see any sign of high intellegence or a vast store of Cobra knownedge. Maby he is writing his memoirs and we can all reap the benifits after publication. Brent, has he asked you to write a dedication?
I spent several winters in Alaska during the Pipeline construction eara. I got involved in making belt buckles, after hours, to maintain some sanity and reduce the numbers of hours I could dedicate to the party scene. We came up with an award that I believe this person could likely qualify for.
We would present those deserving with a clear plastic belt buckle to enable them to see where they were going when they run around with their head so far up their a$$.
