| Most of those type guys are down to earth as they truely are into cars and love to show thier collection ro other like minded enthusiasts.Only a few are snobs and nobody talks about them as they keep thier collection under wraps. |

Awesome collection. Pretty cool that he was nice enough to show his cars. 99% of the guys I've met and dealt with are just regular guys. I ignore the ones that have an attitude. ------------- Joe 1972 Mom's Squire Wagon 1972 Torino Wagon 1976 Torino 1968 Cougar XR7-First batch 1972 Torino 460 1989 BroncoII/Jeeps/Titanimous Popeye and Brutus (Rams) |

Amazing and of course like most of us....just a bit jealous.
The good news is that there are people who have found the ability to do what they truly love.

I met this guy once at a car show and it took me 20 minutes to realize who he is.
He's somewhat of a legend in the Shelby community.
