You can't expect SAAC to embrace all replicas, because the club's purpose is for the support and history of Shelby cars.

HOWEVER, a club started by Shelby, COULD embrace all brands of replicas. As the creator of the Cobra, Shelby could start a "COBRA" club, who's intent is to get ALL Cobra owners together as one. A national Cobra club would be a hit. I also feel that a national Cobra club, as started by Shelby, would help to relieve a lot of the tension between "brand ownership".

BTW, I know a thing or two about car clubs, I founded the National Lightning Owners Club in 1996 (nloc.net).

I went back several pages to get this one, because I think it's the best idea to come out of this whole thread. A national Shelby Cobra Club that allows originals, replicas, tributes, all of it.

PS - I didn't get the popcorn out before, when it was Ron R, Bill S, Bill S's ego (they really deserve 2 different User Names) or Amy, but Evan's asinine remarks (no sour grapes or juvinille [I think he meant juvenile] here bud) have got me going for the Orville Redenbacher.
