Rob, take a closer look at this cut of my original post, the items in RED are exact quotes from the "other brand" cobra owners in question.

Then they start picking on the car I was in, look at the lack of quality of the paint with all of the chips, and how the brakes seem to be inadequate and how the knock offs I was using just did not look right, same goes for the dash and gauge layout and the faded carpets, and what is this, a radio mounted up underneath the dash, REAL cobras never came like this.

You really want to be angry at someone, be angry at that particular group of eastern central PA residents who felt a need to stroke their own egos in such a foul manner. Do not be angry at me for quoting what they themselves stated. Perhaps I should have added all of the quotes in, but believe me, I left out some truly ignorant statements and observations from these fellow "enthusiasts" before I posted anything here.

It took all of my will power not to tell this story to the NJ breakfast bunch yesterday, or to Roger the night before while we were at his home having dinner. I did not do so because it would have wound me up and spoiled the mood. Hell I wasn't even going to post it here, because of people like yourself taking things the wrong way, but several FFR (and other) owners over on another cobra related site suggested that I post for all to see as it was worth sharing with the cobra community as a whole. One particular individual (a moderator of another cobra site you also belong to) told me I had to post it to ffcobra, (in fact he double dog dared me to do so) for which I explained that I no longer post there (I have my own reasons but it is nothing against FFR or their products), so I relented and posted it here.

So in closing, as you can now very plainly see, I was not dissing any one group, and have always told people off who were badmouthing one brand over another here and elsewhere on the web and at shows. Again you want to be angry or disgusted, your aiming it at the wrong person, as I have yet to say one really bad word about FFR or it's general ownership base anywhere in this thread.

Whether you now get it or not, I do wish you well.


Sincerely,

Bill S.
