Not Ranked
Small world
Yesterday I got home earlier then usual because it had been raining cats and dogs and I've still got the new CCX up on a trailer in the driveway covered with plastic till I can run it into Maeco this Friday for a good check up. No rain got in so I was happily just checking all the tie downs. Anyways, while I'm out there my neighbor pulls up and gets out of his Suburban, "nice MG" he says - again, it's sitting under plastic - so I correct him, telling him it's a '65 Cobra, "not a real one mind you, I don't have the spare 1/2 mill" and he says " my aunt has 1 of those, a real one plus some other cars by Shelby". I'm like "what???" He proceeds to tell me that his wife is the niece of Don Prudhommes wife Lynn, and tells me of family gatherings where Carrol has shown up and he and Don regaled them with stories of racing's historic past. And all this time I thought I just lived next store to family oriented (self absorbed) real estate agent.
it's a small world.
