Dissed by a fellow Cobra owner WTF

[RACERAL]

Point being Bill, its a "people" issue, not a FFR issue. I know you are a clevor "spokesperson" i.e. (kool aid drinkers, perky trunk lid and all, round tube comments). Every hobby in the world has the "mine's better then yours folks". It's just as simple as that.

Al,

Point being I did not out and out say whay you thought, nor did I myself diss anyone in return but instead took the high road and kept my mouth shut. As for my comments about perky butt, yes, that was to clue members in to who's kit those three were driving as they disgraced your ownership group with their rude and uneducated remarks. It could just as easily been a pack of ERA,SPF, CSX4000, or Kirkham owners, but in this case it was not, it was a pack of under educate FFR owners. If anything, I was not doing it to embarrass or point out the brand, but to perhaps wake some of the FFR (SPF,ERA,Kirkham,CSX4000) owners up who are indeed "blinded by brand loyalty". The round tube comment was not mine, but theirs, and they repeated it without even looking underneath the car, just assuming because the body shape was not like their own that it had an "inferior" (implied and hawked by Dave and Mark Smith to sell kits, but not an accurate statement) square tube chassis. Again I am not putting the FFR brand down at all, just some of it's owners and an attitude that has gotten worse over the years. You as an active member of your circle of cobra owners and an FFR owner should use this example and educate the member of your group to not judge a book by it's cover. Also, I read your comment late last night on FFcobra where you yourself state "Kinda funny" with a link to this thread. What was so funny about a group of Cobra owners showed their ignorance and prejudice to another cobra owner (driver in this case)? Seems to me as if you were trying to make light of a terrible situation and event. Imagine how many other events like this take place that we never hear about and how it turns some people off to not only the hobby, but the cars and their owner groups as well. Guess if you were there, and you were in my shoes at the time you might feel as I do. At this time it is clear to me that you do not. Either way I wish you well.

Sincerely,

Bill S.

Fortunetly, a$$holes like MM encountered are pretty rare in the Cobra community. At least that has been my experience. I think most of us can appreciate that a fellow cobra owner is a member of our community and regardless of the make or physical appearance of their car they are one of "us". I tend to be a tradionalist when it comes to cobras......blue with white stripes....go figure, but I can appreciate wild paint jobs or unusual color schemes and I really don't care what make you have, it's the enthusiasm that counts. The best example is the London show. Every make and model in every color imaginable just having a good time. That's what it is all about!
