That's a good one.

Now there's an example of a guy who just didn't give up.

My near brush with Shelby fame came in Monterey last summer. I was looking at a Hennessey Venom GT (an Exige with a Les Davis approved powertrain) in the entrance to the RM Auctions preview, and my friend Bob Sherwood suddenly handed me his brand new DSLR and said "take my picture". Never having been allowed to touch that camera before, it took me three tries to snap the photo of Bob and Shelby, and then Rob Myers whisked Shelby away.
