True story from the UK (why not) Some years ago, two completely original genuine Cobra race cars had recently been restored, both painted bright red, and were en route to Goodwood for a little light excercise ( The very famous racer GPG4C of Charlie Agg and the ex-Le Mans '63 Cobra of Nigel Hulme) You can imagine the sight and sound of these 2 running in convoy....!! They pulled over the make a quick inspection on one of the cars and were just about to leave when a car passing in the opposite direction slowly rapidly to take it all in, only to be re-ended by the following car whose driver was doing much the same, at a greater speed. The Cobras fled the scene but I would love to have read their insurance claims!
