Welcome to the twilight zone....or maybe it's the absinthe I drank during my walk across France....

And re-reading the above - anyone know where COB4004 is now - or is it still 4004??? I think we should be told

Trevor,

That explains you, but what about Wally? And where is the Beaver?

Although "Dear Chairman" has been quiet for some time, perhaps there is a new factory in the works? Or the newest AC MK XII?

Well, it seems that Wally has stopped paying attention to this thread, so it is perhaps safe to discuss the situation.

My sources (let's just call them "The Dumb Bunnies", which should not be confused with "da bunnies" (TM)"), tell me that Alan Lubinsky was apparently in North Korea selling the "eternal leader" on the idea of a new AC Factory, which could bring wealth and prestige to the North, much like Hyundia/Kia have done for the South. However with the "eternal leader" currently taking some sort of extended nap, the situation is currently on hold. The North is rather secretive, which would explain why we have not heard much from Alan lately.

Let's hope Wally is not following this. I heard that in the bibliography in his last book that he mistakenly attributed his entire chapter on the "7th Daytona Coupe" to the user "LntCoBra" (typo?) from clubcobra, when my only contribution to that thread was a bit of skepticism. Having not read that book, I can't say whether someone is just playing a prank or me or perhaps just trying to get me to read the book.

Trevor, you might know as well as any of us, but it is clear that several "Cobras" running around the race tracks in Europe are in fact nothing of the sort; they are, instead, Kirkham or Hawk copies either masquerading as a given CSX # while the real car is in hiding or, in some cases, they are using a CSX # to which the owner of the clone has no legal claim. It's not a good situation and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Ned,

Do you mean to imply that there are "fake" cars about?!?!?

Say it ain't so Joe! (horrors!)

Where is Wally when we need him?
