Cobra - The First Forty Years
« on: December 25, 2006, 01:55:51 »
Trevor,
   My wife made me a gift of this incredible 2006 tomb (sp) this evening for Christmas. I'm sure it will be well loved in this household and the world over. The pictures alone are magnificent, the story and text even better. This should start some interesting discussions on various sites. Congratulations!!!

It's grey, rough and heavy. I think it used to reside in my garden. My wife told me it was "magic" it will make my hair grow back. I think I am being hosed..........

Yeah, as far as wives go, I am very lucky, anyway, you can send a donation (a decent one) to the Shelby Children's Heart Foundation, then send them a part and he will autograph and then send a cert. of authenticity, so now the old stereo that came new with the car is getting tossed and the proper Autokraft signed plate is going back in !!!

   That's a very useful rock, Rick. Did it arrive through your study window?? My wife sent me a rock once, but her aim ain't so good either

Trevor,
   Just missed my head...she said that was how the "hair-raising" properties of the rock worked. I am not so sure myself.......
