Cal Metal:

Your statement of the AC being a car that tops out at 100mph is probably quite right, but why try and take the credit for what AC Cars did in the first place, they made something that interested Shelby enough, so hence the evolution into what it has become a cult following.
As much as I like American muscle and their much more durable engines and gearboxes etc, you can say what you like but the poms have built some great chassis's, and bear in mind that Cobra's are old technology nowadays - this argument has been around for years, the simularity is its an Anglo-American partnership, just like the one in Iraq at the moment!

I know this isn't a political stage but some thoughts of mine below on
Iraq:
I don't support our crappy do gooder (NZ) government on their stance of letting others do the dirty work in Iraq, and they will come in and pick up the pieces after its all over. We have everything to gain by supporting the Coalition, and gain nothing by this disgusting display of lack of support. My forefathers would turn in their graves as they have fought against these dictators in the past!
My thoughts go out for the American and English people who have lost their lives fighting for this cause! We have some kiwis fighting with the US/UK Marines, and we saw on the news a NZ/Scottish black watch piper displaying the New Zealand flag in Iraq and saying to hell with our present government.
My wife said to me "that women should never be in that position of PM"
I personally have kiwi friends in the english SAS etc over there, and I hope that it is resolved in the way it has been planned!

Thanks for listening to me - Ant
