Hi all, i do not own a cobra but am merely an enthuisiast of the great cars.
It was interesting to read what some of you have said in reference to Python Vehicles in South Melbourne. George Vidovic has run that business for 26 years and stayed committed to it, building cars for anyone.

I have known George since the late 90's through his racing team and was lucky enough to work at his shop for a little while. He is without a doubt one of the best blokes i know, always the first bloke to put his hand up to lend a hand or help in any way he can. You have got to remember he only build's maybe 2 or 3 cars a year when business is strong and i know he has built 70 odd cars in 26 years of which he owns 3 and i have seen another 7 or 8 so there is no doubt the cars are around if you look hard enough. He believes in giving the customer what they want and every car gets something newly developed or a proven race component on it.

Where are the cars? well i have seen 7 of them and there is another in the workshop now and two at various stages. Whether or not you believe that Mr.Scumacher has bought one or if it is THE M.Schumacher or not there is no doubt there is yet another cobra being built, it is left hand drive and it is a Python. And the money for a Python is simply change for Michael Schumacher, so it isnt like he is getting a bank loan so fussing over if it is will do nothing to help.

George is intense becuase he is passionate, he loves cars and he loves the Shelby brand, he goes over to America whenever he can afford to so he can stay on top of latest products and ideas for his cars. As 'Willow' stated he is more than happy to talk to anyone about his cars, and show you the cars, he gives you his full attention, when i worked there he would drop anything if someone walked in looking for someone. I know of 2 Python cobras in NSW so they are around, a black one and a maroon one.

At the end of the day it only matters to those who buy a Python that they are now in the exclusive club of saying "i have the same car as a Mr. M.Schumacher, and outside a Ferrari how many of you can say that? These cars are a fabulously designed and engineered Cobra, they aren't a kit but a hand built sports car to the highest quality. Sounds like your all a bit jelous of anyone with a Python...
