Default Replica Copies

After scanning the latest Snaketales I picked up an article denouncing "hot rod" Cobra's and pushing for the Cobra Club to encourage "originality".

Areas picked on included non Ford engines - what do you have to say to that oh Dark Siders?, strange body features - Scotty, I think he was having a go at your front air dam!, and flashy modern interiors - mine's definitely a candidate there

Such "Cobra's" should be given negative points when judged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well - what do you say?

I know what I think - its your car, do as you please

Since when did a Ford Escort or Mini remain as standard without some aftermarket gadget / accessory added to please its owner.

Now we all know that to own a Cobra Replica in Australia you will never have an exact copy of an original. The writer misses the fact that 95% of the cars on the road are fibreglass for example.

I'm sure there are purists amongst us, but let us not forget these are KIT cars, and as such each one will have its own traits - not like a mass produced Magna (sorry Les).

Oh, and finally what is an exotic drivetrain - is that an auto?



Sorry - just had to get on my soapbox
