so yesterday i was in Las Vegas in my locost, i stopped at a traffic light on the strip alongside a black lambo, the guy ignored me until i waved at him, he opened his window and i said "everybody's got a black lambo but no one has another one of these" as i pointed to another black lambo on the opposite side of the junction!

he just wound his window back up.

i might add that at every traffic light on the strip someone took a picture of my car!

There aren't very many neighborhoods like the Las Vegas Strip, except maybe the Ginza in Tokyo!

Try living in Vancouver, there's Lambos, Ferraris & Maseratis everywhere, plus a handful of McLarens (no F1's though). The really annoying part is, most of them have an "N" on the back (part of our graduated license procedure where an "L" is for a learner, and an "N" is for a new driver).

When we were driving our S-1 back from San Fancisco we had people in Porsches and Panteras taking pics and video of us while we were on the interstate. One guy puposely parked his AC Cobra (real one) next to us so he could take a side by side pics to show his friends that his car wasn't very small after all.

Wonder what it's like having a real Cobra these days. Maybe people don't even know what a real Cobra is. They think they are all kits...

Yeah and this guy actually drove it. Been in 3 accidents that cost him a fortune in bodywork. I bet his daily driver was a Lamborgini.

Marcus, back when I lived in holliston in 1984-1992, I used to frequent a lumber supply place down around depot street, and occasionally I'd bump into a guy who had an original unrestored '64 289 cobra. it was red it was really sweet. He drove it a lot and it looked it. after about 1988 i stopped seeing it around town adn haven't since, I often wonder what happened to that car.

the straight side 289 is a much better looking car to my eye than the bulbous, exaggerated, and somwhat cartoonish 427. only one company I've been able to find - Hawk in GB - makes a good 289 replica.

It's not on anymore, but for a few years MeTV was airing the old Anne Francis private eye TV show "Honey West". Pasm and I watched it regularly. What kind of car did Honey drive, you wonder? A straight side 289 Cobra. it was prominently featured in the series, about every other episode, and yup, Anne was doing the driving.

Again, all pictures were lost.

around where I live, there are a few "Chrentlys" =- Chrysler 300s with mesh grilles, 22 inch rims and Bently badges in place of the Chrysler bits.
