Dano, in normal times I would agree with you but I really think it's time to stop giving CS a pass just because he's CS. We all smiled at his antics like painting the first cobra different colours to fool the press and the public (and potential depositors / stakeholders / investors, etc) into believing production was what it was not and forgave him his foot in mouth statements about "that old car" and the replica industry. And now we must supress our disappointment about his callous apathy (no one can convince me that he was not made aware of this situation long before now ) towards a dying man's last wish that directly involves him, his company, his car and his legendary status all in the fear of him changing his mind about condescending to help at the 11th hour?
Dwayne's situation has prompted complete strangers to do what they can to to provide some measure of cheer and comfort and now we must shut up in fear of offending those who are responsible for (and still profiting from) this mess in the first place??
Here Shelby had the perfect oportunity to be the real hero many of us have always wanted him to be but so far he and his representatives/dealers are increasingly, painfully revealing themselves as arrogant, bitter, money grubbing opportunists trading on the accidental legacy of a charismatic little car that its own creator didn't recognize until others began to do it justice.
This is not off topic. Dwayne's situation has touched all of us and the majority recognize that the main thing is to just get him his car ASAP. There appears to be a hint that there are things going on behind the scenes that most are not privy to. Fine. Maybe if we knew about these things we would be less prone to criticize The Great One but please forgive me for having my doubts.
All the best to everyone with special wishes for Dwayne and DV and all of your families through the season and into the new year.
