A funny flip side to this scenario. I was at a cruise night awhile back with my slab replica, and this fellow comes over and while looking over my car says, you often don't get a chance to stand next to an original. I said you still haven't.
A number of my friends have replicas and not one of them say's that their's are originals. So in that respect, I humbly disagree with Mr. Ned.
