Now I'll never get that new Shelby Cobra!!
(Which means that all the Shelby cars and trucks of the past have just shot up in value!)

YEEEEEEHHAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!

This means little to me, but my best friend will be devastated. He didn't mention it on the phone when we spoke last night and I hardly know how to break it to him. Perhaps he'll have read it on the internet by the time of our designated SatChat at 11 am tomorrow. :-)

Oh no! :(

That he was.

I remember when there was nothing in the world that I wanted more than a red Shelby Cobra.

"Conan! What is best in life?"

"To crush your enemies -- see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"

That's barbaric, kidz.

Don't try this at home.

Damn! I still want that car. Red, white top convertable with white leather interior. I commend you for your exquisite taste, Sir.

The dream was fun while it lasted, but then I turned 9.
(J/k, monel. I still want a red Cobra.)

A friend has one in blue. The look is one thing, but it's the sound that drives the emotions.

Mustang Shelbies are still the nuts. :P

PS: Was he the last of the blokes called Carroll? (Film Director Carol Reed was another - uncle of Oliver, director of the Third Man).
