Did the Cobra exist before Carroll Shelby visited AC?

[Super-Snake]

Ron,

I am very disappointed in your post. Everyone knows who I am. I was playing and admitted it in my second post to this thread, which I posted a few minutes after my original. I appreciate what you and Turk do for clubcobra and have never attacked either of you personally when you have made comments or decisions that I disagree with. If I felt so compelled I would have written you a personal email before attacking either of your characters.

If you read between the lines you would notice that I made a valid point... though veiled in humor

The hamburger existed for x amount of time before a few entrepeuners created new variations.

It was those that did something special about the hamburger that were successful and brought their products to the millions or billions. (ie the Big Mac, the Whopper, the White Castle). They also either continued to enhance their product line or had such a successful idea from day one that they continue to flourish today.

The automobile existed before there was a car called the AC Ace and before a man named Shelby. Shelby created the 'whatever' represented by the name "Cobra".

Do you see any parallel?

Sure I pushed the white castle idea but it was fun and several people enjoyed it. It also lightened the mood a little bit and by no means sidetracked the original argument.


AS for Evan..

I have no problem saying anything I type about you to your face. Come stop by one day. You had no problem coming to my fathers shop when you were trying to figure out what color to paint your replica 4000. You also had no problem coming to the SPF display at SAAC 25 at Lime Rock when you had your ERA. You know the ERA that CS told you was a fake? You also have had no problem stopping by when there were openhouses or other events. We also had an hour long conversation about your clubcobra postings a few years ago when you stopped by and both remained civil and laughed.

As long as you continue to post your comments there will be many a club cobra member lurking in the darkness ready to take a jab at you. Some more often than others.
