Rick Etc

I have known Rick since the 80' and while I do not speak with him on a regular basis, when I do, it's nothing less than an enjoyable experience with a witty guy who know more about Shelby and his cars than most people on the planet. I have always considered him a friend. That will never change.
I was a stow-a-way about this time 40 years ago and ended up at the Woodstock festival. I was there from beginning to end. I met famous band members and did all of what the 60's was about. When I arrived home, I was screamed at and punished by my parents who stated: "You will never do that again" I replied; No Problem, there will never be another Woodstock! I was right.
After the 60's there was never another Original 1962-1965 Cobra!
Am I right again? I think so..
