There is a hierarchy of replica manufacturers, to deny that is to put your head in the sand. A VW is not equal to a Rolls Royce, while at the same time there are some very nice VW's out there. We (Club Cobra) do debate from time to time what constitutes a great replica vs an 'also ran'. What is 'period correct' and what is not. At times with tongue in cheek, at times with a mean spirit, at times with a serious quest for the truth and an appreciation of history.
There is a time and place for such debate. During a chance meeting making disparaging remarks about another persons car is NOT the time or the place.
I appreciate the value of an FFR, there are one of several affordable alternatives within the replica world, especially compared to a modern continuation CSX car. Considering the hierarchy of an FFR vs a real Shelby, I do find it particularly, amusingly ironic that this particular group of owner/drivers would be so rude as to diss an original.
Certainly the same could be said of ANY replica owner/driver who is so ignorant at to completly overlook the fact that Bill was driving an original. But considering the source, I gotta admit, the irony does make me chuckle.
...'perky butt' was a dead give away to anyone who frequents this forum!
