    Actually that is almost identical to the one I have .. the rear on mine looks diferent when opened but overall the body is the same as far as I can tell.

    Ok, I am headed out right now to go pick up the car from paint.. it will take me several hours to make it back home due to traffic in the area of hwy 26 I have to go through .. but I will photo it if I can get enough light when I get back.

    The pics of the good looking replica (post #125) are from the ones I mentioned earlier. They're being made in New Zealand and are allegedly pretty well done race cars. They also cost about 100k and have a Toyota engine with enough horse power to rival the real deal.

    What about a car that is also not a Ferrari, which could easily be purchased for under $12,500, which would be very inexpensive to maintain, but is also a true Italian-styled automobile "designo di Pininfarnina"?

    There is nothing wrong with having a Replicar, but when its a terrible Replicar...then people have a problem with it. Congrats on your new car, cant wait to see pictures :)

    This is technically off topic.... but somehow not too far off....... Much like the replica Ferrari it costs $6499.00 but it should be much more reliable than the real thing, none of the expensive maintenance costs :D

    Fascinating. I guess it's easy to figure out which one Lamour would pick. My only question is why anyone would opt for 2"?

    You have to admire his gumption - he knew that people would bust his balls about it sooner or later about having the replica, so he came and threw himself to the replica dogs immediately. Once the first barrage calms down, he can get up, dust off, and go about his business here with minimal heckling.

    Heavy hitters? Jim G was the one who reported it.......... He's getting some heat for some his views on things but as far as I can tell he has been honest about things. Quite a few of the problems crop up on the board stem from people who make up B.S........ what are people gonna do? Demand that he prove that he didn't buy the thing? He already posted a reciept. I may make some jokes at his expense but I'm looking forward to meeting him in a few weeks.

    I'm actually a little concerned about that..... the curtains don't seem to match the carpet.......... we should start a thread in that one section that doesn't really exist.... ;)
