"Interesting" cover. Wonder if it is a "real" one? Where's Mr. L's mug?
The mags publisher, Tom DuPont, pretty much approves anything important in his various mags, i am told; so, perhaps he likes that cover for some reason or other.
Tom is or at least has been a Cobra owner or driver, himself; though the actual title might have been held by someone else for reasons unknown. He has had a lovely patinated CSX 3XXX, in original paint... rather nice. For some years it was in his St. Pete/Tampa corporate offices foyer. Don't know if it is still there.
Tom's a good and knowledgable car egg and variously charming and cool, as experienced. We were his King Air's mechanics until we found major delamination of his wing spars and reported it to Beechcraft and the FAA, as required. Guess he didn't need us after that.
Not clear exactly what lessons we learned and internalized after that exhausting experience.
In a recent interview in his own magazine, Tom thinks the future is in Green Automobiles and that near quadruple digit horsepower may become beside the point, although he admits high mph will remain a big attraction to big bucks.
Perhaps so. But, i find it difficult to believe that the many of the various bigwigs of Delaware and Grosse Point will sell off their fleets of Suburbans and Escalades.
