Schumacher Buys Shelby Cobra

Recently retired seven-time World Champion Ferrari Formula One driver Michael Schumacher has just gone out and bought himself a 1967 Mk II Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster. The Autoblog has commented that Enzo Ferrari, known as “Il Commendatore would not have liked this one bit.” Mr. Ferrari had a personal battle with Henry Ford II that took place on the world’s GT circuits and was sparked by Ferraris’ cancellation of a deal to sell Ferrari to Ford because it would take Mr. Ferrari off of the race team. Schumacher can afford it; his Wikipedia entry describes him as a billionaire.
