man...and after all that talk over the last few years, and recent bold advertising in Kit Car about owning an "original". So the magic wand has been waived and replicas are blessed now... whatever.

Actually, IMHO it will be interesting to see what happens in this competetive industry over the next five years with Cobras. The plot thickens. Let's see, started as an AC English car, then formerly retrofitted in the USA, to now "possibly" being built in South Africa. SPF, Backdraft, SAI(?)...who's next to remain competetive? One thing is for sure, ERA is built and will continue to be built in the good ol' U.S. of A. Unique and FFR too for that matter... Get ready, the cooker-cutters are coming, the cookie-cutters are coming! Now the real competition begins to see who can crank out the most replicas of replicas. Hilarious!
