As I recall, after eating poi, all I did was fart all night long. Going back to the original post, Bravo to brent Fenimore to state his case. Although I also believe in the purity of the original Cobras, let's face it time goes along and oen must change with the time or get eliminated. No matter how authentic the Cobra is built today, it is and will not ever be the same as the original as it should never be. We all change with age and we must adapt. The good thing is that the Cobra is such a legendary piece of art that we are still hot about it. That's why there are replicas and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Why shouldn't CS built whatever he likes, however and wherever he chooses to be. If you've met his current wife Theo, you can understand the man is still wild and isn't going to retire soon. Take for instance the Mercedes 300SL, a true masterpiece of engineering and form. The new McLaren SLR is a spiritual successor to it but doesn't even resemble the original. So I salute CS for his new moves and look forward to what he has to offer. In the meantime we can enjoy whatever Cobra we own and be the king of the road when were driving it, original, replica, or duplicate.
Happy Holidays everyone
