MORE LIKE WHACK, WHACK, WHACK.
Bill:
You walk softly but sure "poke" with a BIG stick. More like a baseball bat. Yes, while Carroll Shelby did say along time ago he felt the replicas were a compliment and he did'nt mind if people built them (at least that what you said the article said) that was then. This is now. Carroll Shelby made clear many many times why he had a change of heart toward the replica industry. Whether you buy the reason or not is up to each individual. The reason why he changed his mind is not important to the issues. The important fact is that he did change his mind at least as to trade dress and whether he waited too long to do it. (the Cobra name and emblems I think have always been protected by Ford and so acknowledged by many replica companies in their ads).
As to Pocono. Yeah. Maybe I will come out. What time. Have to work up to that full membership in the 10% club ya know.
Dan: Entertaining little fictional senerio but pictures of Carroll Shelby taking pictures of Cobras recently is not going to make or break the case and would probably be irrelevant to the issues. I seriously doubt the events would really unfold that way and I suspect so do you. The SAI sales figures are also irrelevant to the issues as I understand them.

They stopped and said, "Lets go men.' . We heard the tommy guns click and without a word, the Rangers moved out. Our morale went up in a hurry."
