Alloycars are real

[BevanWright]

How about some patience? Sit back and wait a couple of months and see what happens? I'd love an alloy body, and would consider one if shipping to New Zealand wasn't so expensive. Wouldn't be the first guy tho.

This has been...mmmm.....interesting?

Looking at the pictures posted of their car at the show, I think I'd be concerned about the quality of the aluminium bodywork. The edges around the hood opening look a very long way from being straight and even and the surfaces look a bit wibbly wobbly.



I'm comparing it to my Kirkham, which may be a unfair, but the prices aren't that far apart for complete rollers.

A Kirkham roller is $80,000. An Alloycars roller is $70,000.

But, Alloycars makes pin drive and independent rear optional. And rear brakes aren't even mentioned, unless I'm missing something. Apples-to-apples, Alloycars' roller pricing makes absolutely no sense to me for a newcomer to the alloy body market. IMO, anyone buying an alloy roller would buy a Kirkham hands down.

Having said that, if FFR owners find the $16K attractive for an aluminum body only, then I'd investigate further though when you evaluate the aluminum work based upon that one pic provided by Paul.

Yeeesh that looks bad.

All the other shenanigans aside, that was my point. $10k isn't a big difference at that price range, but the difference in quality is poles apart. It would need to be half the price to make any kind of sense in my view.

Some people can't help but dig themselves into ever deeper holes.

It's been fun watching him dig though.

You meant Ingo (doubtful that is his real name), because Tom, Carlos and Mr. Nobody are made up.
Pants on fire.

I HATE guys who are lying - no matter what their craft and how good they are. I hate when people get lied to and sucker money out of them. I will defend the honesty of the US manufactures and hart working guys.

The hard working guys who dreamed about the Cobra for years and years, the guys who sent their kids to collage - not before they build a house and provided a home.
The guys who can't tell the wifes what some parts of the car cost. The guys who take second jobs to make sure nothing is taken from the household money.

These guys need a shield, I'm a part of this shield. When such bad individuals come along and try these stunts ---- I'm there.


Now back to your suggestion, there is no reason to see this shop. I'm in one all day long. 1000 mile trip for a great beach - always --- 1000 mile trip to see a choleric man and his rented shop......nah not so.

Into Poth is actually his name outside of cyberspace. He gave himself away when he repeated his old threat to Bill (Mr. Mustang) in Post# 24:

But I have seen about your inflammatory posts here. In my world those guys like you are called "Trolls", never giving up.
Mister, I think you are going to loose your face very soon.
And guys like you made me believe that I cant have an aluminum body for my car, so please understand that you are not my favorite club member here.
Again, they are real whatever you post.

Some people just wanted you and others to stop with the petty bickering and BS so the topic could play itself out without having to be prematurely shut down again because of all the silly, noisy rants.
