Default A Rare Opportunity (Pics)







It would be rare to even see and Enzo or a Mclaren F1, or even an original 427 Shelby Cobra Competition car. Much less to see them in one place parked right next to each other and have access to them all!

I recieved a rare invite to the DuPont Registry headquaters in St. Pete to get an upclose and personal look at some super high end exotics that were temporarily in their care. The reason; I was shooting a segment there for an upcoming episode of "OverDrive" that airs currently on Time Warner Channels 19 & 20. You'll be able to see more of these awesome cars in detail on TV very soon.
I was also shooting some of the footage for a future episode of "The Spot" that will air on Channel 8 (Time Warner #7.)

Yes, that's my goofy ass sitting next to the Cobra and in the cockpit of the F1.
Special thanks to the DuPont folks for arranging this. I have nothing but good things to say about them...top notch place.

Sitting in the middle of the car is the coolest thing ever.

Also....does anyone know their Cobras? I tried to find more info about #98 on the net, without much success. Apparently this is an original competition car. I'm kicking myself for not getting the CSX numer off it. If anyone could enlighten me on this car's history that would be cool.
-Thanks!

Gawd, that is some sweet stuff. Any one of those cars would be the ultimate to take around Sebring.

What are the dates and times that your program will air?
