Crappy Replicas thread

Oh, come on, bdelp, everyone knows that wood interior = fancy!

And everyone knows that Ferraris are fancy cars. . .

So, you see this car with a wood interior, you know it MUST be a Ferrari!




PS LMAO at the fish hook comment!

 

Even the pocket bikes weren't that bad. Plus they were around 1/4 the size where as the one they're selling is full size. It's basically the full size "CBR" but with a 125cc and batwing mirrors

 

Is that a manual-esque gated shifter on an automatic!? WTF!

Raises the question Can such a thing be vandalized? Thief or defender of good taste?

 

Yeah, but check out the dude's homemade lightsabers and Time Machine models!

Shiny Side Up!

This is absolutely disgusting. I gagged when I saw this.

The "1G" starting the VIN kinda gives it away, doncha think?

The horrid-Lambo crowd - never a group to disappoint.
Not be outclassed-up by the Wooden Ferrari, this beauty sports a stylish wooden dash.

"...over 30k invested,my loss is your gain..." - That part is somewhat debatable.

 

Geez, that qualifies for the "funny pictures" thread too; what a disaster.

 

the others are awful, but this one is actually kind of impressive

 

If they make you "gag" why do you search them out?

Perhaps you're looking to buy one????

Is the Mercedes logo on the trunk upside-down in protest?

 

That's what you find odd about that car?


More likely that its a sign of distress, like flying the flag upside down.

 

yes, everything else looks tip-top.

 

The only thing missing is a vanity plate that says, "Probable Cause."

 

It is a Ferrari; Right???

But with MB emblems, so as not to attract too much attention.

Very clever,
Sparky

 

Whats really shocking is that it would appear some one actually made that kit commercially!

 

Not so surprising when you consider what people did to S-Mercs in the eighties; Styling Garage, Rob Jankel, to mention 2, mostly fuelled by the appatite for 'someting different' from the side of the Arab world, SEC's with complete Testarossa flanks on them was considered a mild modification.

The period in which this type of modifications was fashionable is best characterised by a lack of proper design-inspiration, very few memorable cars were made. When I write memorable, I mean thsat in a positive sense

 

I always thought this generation Celica & the Gallado were somehow separated at birth...not a slam at either, just that they do seem to share some styling clues...kinda like the MR2 Spider & the Porsche Boxster...or the '70's Corvette & the Opel GT...or the NSX & that Ferrari 408 concept.

What other cars seem to have been separated at birth? (I know there's probably a thread about this already...)

 

The Chevy Monza was a knock-off of the 365GTC/4 and the Hyundai Coupe was a 456 clone.
To bad about the Celica. That was a fine looking car before being molested.
