They should be. We're diluting the brand and their value of their cars. I get it. And I'm sorry for it. My apologies to the REAL Shelby Cobra owners. But I'm not selling my Kirkham.

As for the possible next batch of Shelby replicas, as Liam Neeson says in the movie Taken 3, "Good luck."
Would not expect any less from you.

As far as I am concerned any owner of an original who is dismissive, snooty and contemptuous of replica owners can kiss my a$$.

This goes especially as to their attitude toward the Continuation series cars. SAAC and Carroll have spoken. "Oh well" for them. Read it and weep as they say.

Also glad I'm not the only one who noticed their lousy attitude.
