Maybe it's my New York upbringing but I find your threads amusing and informative. U have "inside" stories on car history. Please continue to share, with more pictures. What's the story about the Cobras in your flicker acct?
Seriously, cc friends, if the only stress in life are hobby cars and internet forums, then u do have a wonderful life!
Back to real life issues, like changing diapers.

Well most private collectors will remain just that private. We certainly do not want to post pictures or even admit to owning certain cars unless you are in the small inner circle. I have heard this from 3 other collectors on this site. Some of the Cobra pictures were from an old Anaheim SAAC meeting. The Flip-top also called the turd I was looking at long time ago and never purchased. Not sure what is on that flickr account mostly old photos. The black 289 is family owned. The 300 SL Gullwing is family owned since new. My bro Cozy recorded a bunch of stuff and like J. Cash was the Man in Black. He even recorded that. I told the story before but the black Porsche in the flickr account he used on tour for awhile and one of the rigs flattened it at a venue. I'm not a Porsche guy anyway. My guys took out all the fluids and glass and whatever and had it crushed into a cube which I used as a base for a table. I just but a thick piece of safety glass over it. Funny part I never explained before the guys did a little joke in their video with a wrecked Porsche below.
