This club and it's members are so amazing. This is my first post as I am a new member/owner of a Lonestar 427. I have been reading past threads to try and learn about this club and the people in it. I've noticed that of all topics discussed here the one thing agreed upon is the love for the Shelby Cobra. I know that having a original Cobra is very important to some. But to me the most important thing is to live your dreams the best you can.
I personally have had the dream since I was 9 yrs old putting my first Cobra model together while it rained outside. The love for the car has grown from there. I, just like a lot of others, are hard working people, and I know that as for me if it was not for the "kits", or "replicas", I would never be able to live my dream. I am now 46 and got my car in Nov. 07. It was the happiest day of my life. Sometimes I feel I am not worthy of owning my Cobra, as I did not build it, and it is not a original. But when I fire up that 428 ci, and lay on the throttle, it does not matter. I have owned several cars in my life, and some pretty nice ones, but they were not Cobras. I am living a dream! And I am sure that if you think back before you got one of your own, and was envious of the guys that did. At that time did it matter.
The other thing I have noticed is other clubs are so negetive about EVERYTHING. This club is always tring to help each other with problems. The excitement is shared when a newbie is waiting for his car to show up. There is so much support when someone gets stuck with a problem. How most of the opinions are positive. That is the kind of group I want to be around.

THANK YOU to all who could make my dreams come true.
