The world is full of "dreamers",and much less "doers"...the ones that just won't take "can't be done" for an answer and are driven by that. CS was one of them.

I have met several same type over the years and must admit that I suffer from this affliction. My wife is well aware and uses it against me when she wants something done on the house!

Btw: read the wikipedia article. While factually accurate in many respects it glosses over many points. While it gives top billing to the cars English name as it was used in England it fails to mention that AC was using the name "Cobra" under license from Shelby. Ouch.

Likely written by a Brit.

I found it comical that the article used replicas for it's photos and ostensibly mediocre ones at that. Sheesh.
