Why does Jamo always derail threads with watch talk? If there isn't a more superfluous item known to mankind then I don't know what it is. |

Because watch discussions have persistence attributes after a while whereas the weather does not.
I know forums that have whole topics dedicated to watches...

I drive a Fake Shelby Cobra, and I wear a fake Rolex watch while doing it, I'm all about the kit car, kit watch, lifestyle, and the best part about it, nobody who sees my car or watch can tell they are not REAL...and the stories I can make up about them both, as this was the same car raced at the 1966 LeMans by Sergio Smith while he was wearing this exact watch, he won the race and that's why the car is worth 7 million dollars...the watch I'm going to donate to the Rolex race museum in Hamburg, Germany...    AHH, story time is the best...these new Shelbys are perfect them...

Because he's a "MODERATOR" and a bully and he can do as he pleases. 
P.S.
Actually he is a very good moderator IMHO.

Donbeste is a businessman, it is smart business to 'rewrite' Shelby history and get rid of all old shelby parts. It's basically 50++ year old junk without a chassis/ body and a 'really good story."
cobra guys will forget and forgive McCluskey for faking chassis. I'm told he and his company does great car restoration.
Mr. Kirkham calls these 'cars' a work of art? are they? most art and art historians judge art by artists and originality, one offs. Picasso painted himself. he didn't hire a team to mix his paints or paint for him.
if the facts are correct, there are 2 new 'competition' Cobras, built by two different companies with one car part source- DonBeste. is that art or just great forgery?
I spent my youth plugged into the art scene in NYC and interned at Sotheby's NYC. This type of 'shelby art" would be considered as forgery and a crime. no respected gallery, art historian, or museum would do business like Shelby.
I guess car art is different. car people will pay top dollar for a really good story.
go back to MrMustang quote on page 1 of this thread, "greed makes good people do..."

Please don't quote him. His head is big enough already.
Anyway, what the heck does he know. He buys and sells Catterhams and Exocets, or whatever the heck they're called. Butt-Ugliest cars in the world. |

I guess some men like wearing jewelry. You know, to explore their feminine side. |

Well, you gotta admit that there aren't that many people in this world with $500,000 to spend on a Cobra replica that would want to hang out with a bunch of losers like us. |

Nope. I suspect the majority of them will be on container ships to places unknown!
Don't get me wrong. I love the car, the heritage and the the quality...and everything they are trying to accomplish. Just seems to me like they went the wrong way.
Just my 2 cents...

That's a pretty stupid statement. Then basically no car ever made would be considered art.

Anthony, I'm hoping it didn't take you 21 pages to figure out that NYG's elevator doesn't go to the top floor. Though, it could be a union problem, since he lives in NY. |

This is a page 22 so you're wrong again.
And no one on this thread is interested, including you and your Nissan Leaf. Why? It's a $500K replica that can't be driven legally on a public road unless the new owner can find a drunk or drugged up DMV employee in a state somewhere in the USA. Of course, there's always the bribery, er, I mean, "greasing the wheels " route. |

Well -----------
I tell you. So much of this thread reminds me of Clubcobra old. It brings back so many good online memories.

LMAO...cuz sometimes it's easier to cause folks to take a breather by jumping the subject...and I happen to like watches.
...and I like making Evan admit he has feminine wrists.
