Al,
Perhaps you think this what I attempted to portray because you are an FFR owner at this time and feel that I am attacking the brand or all of it's owners. I for one have nothing against the owners of FFR's or the brand itself having owned more than my fair share of them, and my plan to personally own another one or two of them in the future. I did and still do have a problem with the "gang mentality" that was shown that day, and just how that affected not only our interaction, but the end result(s). Also, as a matter of course, the fourth member of their group was not driving an FFR product, but a nice small block powered Unique 427SC, he genuinely wanted nothing more than to talk cars while his three fellow cruise mates wanted nothing more than to put down the car without even knowing what it was, why, simply because it was not an FFR roadster. The Unique owner apologized for his cruise mates lack of common sense and lack of comradere for a fellow cobra driver/owner. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall after I left as the Unique owner was genuinely concerned and was going to speak with his "friends" about how embarrassing they were. Of course the question I keep wondering is, are these FFR owners members of this forum or ffcobra, and if so, will they admit to their mistakes and offer an apology for their rude behavior that day? Of course I know that they are the minority and not the majority in this hobby. Ten again, this is not the first time I've been discriminated against for what brand Cobra I happen to have been driving, I've had others diss my old SPF, several of my FFR's, and even my Contemporary (when I sold my first FFR to purchased it), why, who knows, but the fact that it occurred and continues to occur in one way shape or form is what should be at issue. I kept my mouth shut that day, will I do so again, I guess that depends on the situation, but mostly likely yes, as some people get it and others do not.
Again just my continuing thoughts on this subject.
Bill S.
