"...While I know you can't believe everything you read on the Web, I like to think Club Cobra is a "cut above" that. Not so sure now, no matter how it turns out,,,,,,,,and thats a loss!"

Ernie, I hear what your saying, and I agree with you 100 percent. It's tough enough to wade through all the scam email in our personal mail boxes as it is, let alone getting the wrong information from folks you'd think would know the facts, and certainly not state them as factual when in reality they didn't have a clue. Makes it tough on anyone's credibility on other issues as well.

One thing I can tell you, is that from what I understood from the investigating I had to do to get this info, is that Jim Price didn't appear to look at the purchase of AC as anything that needed to be "touted" in a huge press release where other firms feel they absolutely must any time a door knob is changed. He just wanted to save the little car maker from extinction for the purpose of keeping the AC legend alive and going. He just couldn't sit back and allow it to dissappear like it has been so close to doing so in the past on several occasions as others have illustrated. Beyond that, you'd have to ask Jim himself on the details.

When I asked for clarification regarding the AC purchase, Jim was not really too concerned if anyone knew one way or another, so the revelation of this info was fairly straight forward. There is no huge European empire prepared to strike, or at least not that I'm aware at the moment ;-) But then again, who knows?

These latter comments are not anything other than my observation, based on what I have seen, heard and experienced in the past months in this regard.

Now we just need to hear from Brent on what he found out... I'd be interested in comparing notes and listing names... as the specific people involved who really are in charge of AC are very important in backing up any credible statements made here on in.

Hang in there Ernie... it won't be long now.
