I am glad somebody started a thread about those baboons! I was shocked by the number of errors they made. Guess I just know the American iron better then they do. If they would have just opened there eyes sometimes then they would have known the answer to some of their confusion.
I have never watched the auction before. But I watched nine hours of it. Couldn't take my eyes off of it. Would like to go! Mistakes and all. Great car 'show' and the excitement of the sale, the human drama!
I took offense when they refered to the Replica market as 'Tupperware'. But I was REAL proud to see the continuation car take top dollar so far in the auction. Not to mention the other Shelby's. Loved the Cobra 'disco ball' too. Very cool. I guess I shouldn't be so upset, Tupperware does make a fine product!
Knock-off, OK. Replica, cool. Kit Car, mensa, mensa (only because the general public thinks that it was slapped on a VW or some thing, so depends on the source and context). But Tupperware! I hate this whole real, original, mines better, must be this way period, snobs period, run and cover your badges crap.
We are a bunch of certifiable car nuts who love the Cobra and will do what we can to get a piece of the whole Cobra lore. Every time I turn the key, I will thank the maker for the builders of Tupperware.
