TURK,
I imagine that the court scene would look like this: Jim Price from Superformance is sitting at a long table with his entourage of legal eagles when suddenly the doors open and the Venture crew wheels this poor "Shel" of a human being into the court room in a rickety wheel chair, probably needing a shave, wearing a worn out cowboy hat. The Venture lawyers present their case stating how everyone has deprived this poor, 80+ year old man of his rightful dues and how in his failing health, he's not sold many continuation cobras despite all efforts to make the business suceed, he can't pay his creditors and he's destitute. Then they'd present all of the 8 x 10 color glossy photos of all of those replica cobras at various events being shown and advertised so well. The jury would have their handkerchieves ringing wet. Hate in their eyes for those despicable manufacturers UNTIL the Superformance attorney stands up and presents ALL of the 8 x 10 color glossy photos of, you guessed it, Carroll Shelby taking pictures of all the replicas at the shows as well as standing beside one of those young, attractive pole takers, with that big Texan smile.
Pictures of pictures being taken.....and they are a reality. This is almost too good for even a Matlock or Perry Mason episode.
Is this a great country or what?
