Perhaps not tarnish them all with the same brush.
Some are really cool guys. Don't let the buggers get you down and spoil your poster.
Evan:
would you agree that answering: "Yes, a counterfeit 1965 shelby cobra" for a csx4 series car would be THE most truthful, honest and correct without any illusion or chance of msguiding Joe public?
Over to you sir.
Ps. We've already confirmed mine is a cobra as per your definition.
Yet Im happy to call it a fakedoo to make you feel better. No issues. 
I like this game you started. 
Thx |
First, my friend as to the pejorative description of me as suffering from Napoleon syndrome you are wrong. I am not short but of average height.

Second, no I wouldn't agree with describing the Continuation Cobras as counterfeit 1965 Cobras. I'm sure this is precisely and exactly the way you and others here would love to describe them, however, and are trying to describe them. That's the entire rub of the issue I have with the "sour grapes" crowd who continue to 'bang their rattles on the ground' insisting the Continuation series is nothing more than a "replica too" just like their cars. It is their efforts to ascribe this definition that is objectionable in view of the SAAC definitions as "ESTABLISHED BY SAAC" see page 30. If you want to use the Webster definitions that fine, I'll do that but you can't have it both ways which is exactly what you and the other "sour grapes" crowd want. Non Shelby Cobras (i.e. ERA's FFR, BD, EM ,Uniques, Butlers, Street Beasts, Contemporaries etc.,etc.) are either replicas per SAAC or they are the "counterfeit" cars pretending to be Cobras if you want the Webster's definition to apply. You can't have it both ways unless of course you want to live in your own world as some clearly insist on doing. It's actually quite simple.
Is your "Polish thing" a Kirkham? You never answered the question. If so, you are free to deprecate your own car which based on the definitions "ESTABLISHED by SAAC" your car is "Kirkham Cobra" whose history parallels the history involving AC with regard to supplying chassis and aluminum bodies to Shelby American to the specs of the original series. Owning a Cobra new or old doesn't imbue one with brains. Obviously you insist on deprecating what you own. Carry on.
Cheers.
