Since we are all into comedy, and life imitates comedy, please allow me to share this joke with you all, and please may I recommend the popcorn... 
3 guys each walk into a bar.
Each of them order a drink of "Coke-cola".
The first guy, lets call him Rod, gets given his order. Its a cold glass of refreshing Pepsi-cola.
Like everyone else, enjoys the drink of coke with his mates and enjoys the nights festivities.
The second guy, lets call him Anthony Boosalis, gets given his order - Its Coke-cola in a bottle, with a red label, you know... the stuff we all know as the ORIGINAL, the AUTHENTIC, the REAL thing. He downs his drink of coke with his mates, and enjoys the nights festivities.
The third guy however, lets call him Evan, gets given a Coke Zero, drinks his Coke Zero, proclaiming to the world on top of his soap box that, HIS drink is the AUTHENTIC and REAL coke, because it's produced and licensed by the COKE-A-COLA company the original founders and creators.
Not really giving a chit, but figured it might be nice to offer a helping hand, a fourth and fifth and sixth gent, all chime in with a - "Pssst, hey Evan, you know your Coke aint REAL?" to which Evan replies - But the facts, law and registry say so... 
Badda-boom! 
(NB: deliberately left off "original" - I don't doubt our friend, since his 2004 slip up, has conceded that point).
PS: try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress...

No concession yet, his "add error" doesn't cut it. I just don't see ORIGINAL being a "typo" from CONTINUATION
He was fully aware he bought a Continuation, then lists it as an Original - premeditated, intentional. His explanation later 'there was some confusion at the time as to what they were', what BULLCHIT!
I will continue to ask the question until I get a satisfactory answer

The joke doesn't work. You know why? I haven't had any soft drinks in many many many years.

So, since Coke Zero is licensed by a Coca-Cola, are you saying that Evan owns a Superformance?

The rest are cars that "pretend" or "fake" to be Cobras. So referring to the fakes as Cobras is technically incorrect. You own a Cobra? No, if you own anything its something that pretends to be one. Whatever that is.

I'm crying in my beer now. I don't own a Cobra, after all these years of dreaming to own one, even though it's a fake. You have now chattered my dreams. You really take the cake. What should I call it now?

Nope...
Just that the second guy, who happens to be named Evan drank a coke zero.
You're being far too presumptuous.
Fwiw: I did say "produced" as well.
Go easy on the guy. Jamo already has him on thin ice.

Dimis, you botched this up from the git-go. First of all, it's Coca-Cola or Coke, not Coke-Cola.
If 3 guys order and drink a " Coca-Cola" then there is no Pepsi-Cola or Coke Zero. If the 1st guy has a cold glass of Pepsi-Cola, then he can't 'enjoy a drink of coke', it's Pepsi-Cola. The 2nd guy is not named Evan but Anthony Boosalis and he is drinking a Coca-Cola not Coke Zero.
I know proper english is like a 2nd language for you guys living in the outback down under, next time just tell it like you're with you buds at the local drinkin' hole.
Three guys walk into a drinkin' hole. Two guys order a cola, the 3rd kool-aid. "Ta ya sister in a wet t-shirt, down the hatch mates". Bloody oath, look at Evan standin' on a bar stool bein' a total jackass. Yep, he drank the kool-aid.

At this time the floor recognizes the gentlemen from California, RodKnock -

As our astute colleague points out, where does one draw the line with ethical behavior regarding our prized replicas?
May I submit exhibit 'A', a fraudulent plate mounted to a typical license plate frame. We know this plate to be fraudulent as the vehicle it is affixed to is acknowledged to be a fake Shelby Cobra, registered in NJ under DMV provisions for kit cars, therefore it cannot be a REAL427.
You will note the frame is described as follows and can be bought here -
Product Description
Chrome license plate frame with COBRA at top and Carroll Shelby Motors at bottom; Chrome letters on blue background.
Reproduction of the original.
COBRA Carroll Shelby Motors License Plate Frame
The question is, if you are going balls out to misrepresent your fake cobra as a REAL427 for sale, does the fake license plate frame add monetary value to your fraud price?

You know Jamo has Evan on a short leash and he can't respond. Why don't you lay off? You are accomplishing nothing except carrying out a personal vendetta.

This has sunk to a new low. Dividing the enthusiast. Had corvette's in past but was attracted to cobra's after being around Norcal Shelby bunch years ago. Very friendly bunch of guys, went to open track event they put on and someone gave me ride in mustang 350 and I switched to Ford. Now we have trolls that don't contribute anything positive but just want to tear someone down. You don't see the down under group joining in, I enjoy reading their post's. What do you hope to accomplish? LET IT GO

Actually, Dimis is posting from Down Under.
Please remember that Jamo did setup a sticky for folks to debate the title of this thread. Just like your TV, any one of us can either ignore or "switch channels", if we don't like what we're reading. There are plenty of threads that I won't even enter into for various reasons. Don't care, don't read.
Jamo setup a couple rules when he setup this thread.

Proceed with care...

And he didn't want the subject matter flowing into other or new threads, so he setup this thread as our "sandbox", specifically to debate "real" vs. "replica," which we have for almost 50 pages. But, Evan went ahead an established at least two other threads on essentially the same topic. And he even made a snide comment on a thread relating to the sale of 1 of the 998, which I ignored, but found out-of-bounds nonetheless.
My point, Evan did throw around plenty of insults, which I'm not going to repeat. And he did setup new threads about the same topic. So, he's not entirely blameless.
