Hehehe...during a Shelby/Ford celebration at the Monterey Historics several years ago, I was pulled out of line when I drove in with other replicas and directed to park with the 4000s in the featured marque corral on Saturday. The parkers wouldn't listen to my assplination. The 4000 owners weren't happy (maybe also cuz they were separated from the originals by the Mustangs) and evidently b!tched about it. Next day I parked with the fun group, which included originals and all kinds of other replicas.

Ass ok, I was finally invited to leave the corral at the end of day Sunday after doing a rather pronounced burnout while we waited to leave the track after a parade lap...Bob Marsh and Gary Patterson were egging me on from atop the Shelby trailer next to the track ("you poossey!")...I sorta filled the Flag Room tent with boiled rubber. No matter...my work was done.

Turned out Morgan LeBlanc gave the order for me to leave via radio from wherever he was perched...da basturd. We became compadres after we met down in Vegas.

I always try to remind folks...Cobras are supposed to be a reason to come together, not divide us. Hell, I don't mind if a 4000 wants to park next to me.

I wonder what would happen if, over that bullhorn or loud speakers, a call went out for original GT500's and the Shelby-authorized Eleanors drove their cars over for their panoramic picture.

As I mentioned above, at the Dana Point Concourse d' Elegance, they parked me next to three original *REAL* guys. All 2000-series and some beautiful cars. I must say that the one thing I noticed was the draw of attention my car got from the less-informed spectators all day....shiny pipes, big engine etc. Those that knew Cobras went straight to the other cars. Those three guys placed 1-2-3, and I got a "consolation" #4. BUT, when the photographers came around to take pics with their model, they picked my car. So, at least I got the girl!!

Not sure of the car numbers, or if any are members here, but the other three were as follows:

Drew Alcazar - Phoenix, AZ (Stunning 100-point car)
John & Shirley Gerardy - Escondido, CA
Lucy Rawlings - Balboa Island, CA
