But I want to stay choice enough for you to bite me.

That was an inside joke of sorts with 4027, whose 4000 series Shelby was actually more authentic than an original.
Glad to make your acquaintence, as it were. Nice opening...you play poker?
I had Butler No. 5, now owned by a gentleman in Massachusettes or some such place...drunk Scot or something. There's actually a bit of an Arntz/Butler forum here if you haven't found it yet...I'm sure the guys would love to converse with ya.
When I bought mine in 98, I drove down to Golieta hoping to find someone at home...no luck. I certainly won't disagree with you about the technical aspects of the car...solid as hell, great handling from the front mid-engine layout, the positioning of the jag rearend...all of a piece really.
Knew there was another side to Ron's story...
