I'm officially annoyed, what is this guy's agenda,? what rock was overturned...

same here, blkack wheels and brass spinners

Dave, you are NOT the problem.

oh yeah, completely agree

maybe if the forum members were constantly provoked, that would happen??

WOW !!, that car looks absolutely beautiful with the brushed aluminum, if I ever in the next 20 years need a paint job, that will be it (or lack of !!)

I'm really getting fired up about the 15's, I might pick up a set with the Goodyear billboards to alternate once in a while...

The car looks real nice to me in it's current state, like the rims as well !!

Maybe the whole root cause of this thread is that Emmanuel lives in California !!  Although my MKIV came from Cali., the original owner still modified it with a Roush 302 (I have the original motor crated with only 500 miles on it), I'm putting out well over 325 hp and now in CT, the car is registered and through emissions, so just because you did not have the resources or ambition to juice up your MKIV, it is not the car's fault, but that of government regulation, but every problem has a solution.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Very well said.

:)

Fine, this discussion will be closed by me and you can post whatever you want, be it courteous or not, but MKIV's are not replicas, they are original AC's that Brian built under the AC name, BTW, in Europe the cars were legally allowed to use the Cobra badge, you may need some more study regarding the history of AC and why certain things were done the way they were.  For the last time, I am not saying the MKIV is "original" or a replica BUT A GENUINE AC, just like your car.

Emmanuel, you are tough to figure out, MKIV's ARE genuine Cobra's, (but NOT ORIGINAL), I think we can all agree on that, no matter what you think, you are flat out wrong regarding the MKIV, MKIV's were made by AC, under Ford's blessing, in the UK, and in most cases with Aluminum bodies by very skilled English craftsman.  Just because there were some political and legal forces at work with Mr. Shelby in the 80's and his involvement with "another" of the big three, and the political motives behind SAAC, most people agree AC's are genuine, they are even kept track of by SAAC.  Anyway, I love my car and you are entitled to your opinion but honestly, some of the things you have said, should maybe not be published on an AC automobile forum.

I only tried the front 2 and they are FROZEN !

Guys,
      thanks for the response, I PM'd Jim, Ron if you want to come up at meet Jim and I, we can bend the spinners together (I hope not).  I have the finish line tool and a Thor spinner hammer, I can't find a strong enough steel bar to use with the finish line tool, believe it or not, I bent a steel pry bar already !! (a 5 footer).
