Wow, I can not believe this thread is going around...AGAIN!!
"Is it real?"
"No, you are on drugs."
Next
"What kit is it?"
"Trularin."
"I haven't heard of that one."
"It's me."
Next
"Is it a kit?"
"There is nothing kit about this car."
Yeah, there is a wide selection of humor that can enter this.

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes a smart ass comment is made about it not being real, I look around and mention it's as real as the lips and boobs you see around here.....
It gets a laugh, unless the guys wife is plastic.

When asked if it's a kit, lately I have answered, "I wish it was. It would have been a lot easier to build." I feel that there are only a few that have the quality to be called a kit, like ERA and FFR. However, in my opinion it took FFR building thousands before they got it to kit quality.

I chuckle inside when someone says "Hey that's at Kit Car Right?" I respond by saying Na...I don't have the brains or time to to put one of these Beasts together....... This one came from South Africa and a year to get here. They look so confused and then ask how much did that car cost? I tell them I'm not sure it my kids car and way more than I could afford. They scratch their heads and continue asking How Old is Your Kid! You can see the smoke coming out of their ears!! LMAO!!

Think I'm going to go with, it's a replica of a kit car from the mid 60's. Pretty much covers it all.

Was at a Wounded Warrior show a few weeks ago showing my car and an old guy walked up and started looking my car over clearly thinking about adding me to his list of favorite cars. Another guy walks up grabs his arm and says "Ah you don't wanna be looking at that. That's just a kit car." And dragged him away. They weren't quiet and I was sitting a few feet away behind my car. I kept quiet and let em go.
My car is a kit and I'm not ashamed of it. If it weren't for kits I couldn't have a Cobra. I put a lot of hard work into it and I think it's a great car. The fact that I occasionally get lumped in with the myriad of terrible kit cars throughout history is unavoidable. I'll just have to brush it off.
Actually a couple weeks ago I was at our local Friday car gathering when I see a couple looking my car over intently. After a few minutes they ask if it was mine. They recognized it as a FFR and gave some very nice compliments. As we talked I noticed he had his hat secured to his shirt with an alligator clip lanyard so I asked what roadster he had arrived in? Turns out they drove in in an original green 289 Cobra! Nice folks. Gorgeous car.
