Post by: AC Bill on July 02, 2016, 20:33:28: Wow..That is hard to believe.
    Should really be donated to a museum rather than end up in the hands of a private collector, possibly in China?

   I guess Shelby's family would prefer the money?

Post by: Cobra Ned on July 04, 2016, 19:16:14: Don't believe the hype about CSX 2000 being repainted in a rainbow of colors. Never happened. It was pearlescent yellow until the late 60's and then Shelby had it repainted the same blue it wears today. It was a fun story though.

Post by: TLegate on July 05, 2016, 17:51:28: There's an empty plinth in Trafalgar Square, Londinium as well. (Google it if you live on the windy side of the Atlantic)

   We done got plinths aplenty over here, yessirree. I do love a damn good plinth.

   As it happens, today's word is 'rondeau'. Do keep up Mr.Snake :)

   Ah yes, plinth - famous pop artist, now dead I believe. I used to know a Welsh baker called Rondeau. Actually, it might have been Ron the deau, come to think of it...
