Some things to consider...

It could be that this person is just ham-handed on the keyboard and doesn't realize the proper way to make an impression to an audience that is filled with generally more successful people, and scumbag Florida Crackers like me. Germans have been accused of worse...

If they are putting an aluminium body on a chassis, it'd be worth looking at.

If I had the money, I'd own a Kirkham and wouldn't care what anyone else is doing... except Kenny Thompson...

Here is what the FL Dept of State says about the outfit. I do wonder why they have an 813 (Tampa) phone number on the website. I don't have a dog in this, it's just interesting...

One has to ask what FFR has to say about any of this...

That's true - he's probably wringing his hands in glee over each volley.

I was trying to develop the corelation between Alloycars and Carrol Shelby's marketing practices in my mind just about when IntCobra posted. Maybe there is genius at work here.

Re: Bernica - I wonder how aware or invovled (oe unaware) FFR is in this adventure? It would be an interesting match up between the two to offer an alloy body option for the FFR MKIV through FFR. Although I'm not sure the market would be there at $90K +/-.

Same here. While I can remember a few instances (well, maybe more than a few ) of Shelby's questionable marketing practices, I don't recall him ever hurling insults wholesale at potential customers.

That's true. He was more likely to thow their butt in a car seat and take them for a ride and scare them to death.

Now I want to know if AlloyCars is actually buying frames from FFR or merely copying the design.
