Show my your INTERIOR picturese!

henrik,

You do not have a Cobra. You have a kit car, which is an agglomeration of unrelated parts, most of which which were never on any Cobra. I know you and many of the rest of the Johnny-come-latelys who just buy your way into a roller like to think they are somehow superior to a home-grown kit car, but your BMW suspension, square tube frame, and unusual-looking rear fenders (and I could go on and on - but I am trying to be nice here) does not put you in any position to take the holier-than-thou stance with any other non-Cobra kit car owner.

My kit car non-Cobra-thingy and I have been doing this for 20 years and my home-made Midstates is still kickin butt at doing what Cobras did years ago (road and drag racing). What does yours do that real Cobras did?

So, let's see here... You have a kit car that doesn't have the parts or construction of a Cobra, doesn't look like a Cobra in some respects, and it doesn't do what Cobras did, but you're going to berate another kit car owner for not sticking to some arbitrary code that says your interior has to be original looking, or else they should go to another site?

The audacity!

Maybe you don't get that if folks like me and many other kit car non-Cobra hot-rodders had not plowed the ground and built our own cars 20 years ago, when it was harder to just buy your way into one, the BDRs and Superformances of the world would not likely not be available. You should have some respect for those who are doing this the home-grown way. You don't have to like what others are doing, but you have shown your true colors when you berated this forum member.

BTW, this goes for you others who consistently have to pipe-in with snootiness, but henrik really got my ire up in suggesting fleiss75 is on the wrong forum. This forum was started before there were BDRs and has always been open to kit cars that generally look like Cobras (even the occasional Lister or GT-40...).

??? where did that come from

fleiss75 started this thread in a "negative" way by stating that a "boring replica" was off!!! - If you start a discussion that way - and cotinue that path... ("old rude men") you must expect to get feedback in more that one way.

I know my BDR is a replica - in fact I (at one tme) were looking to put a ls7 or ls9 in it - and I have the greatest respect for FFR - I do not have the skill or place to build one - would love to

Pls. keep this forum a positive place to visit - and respect others and don't jump to conclusions...

I was trying to be constructive and explain reactions - hence I repeat: If fleeis75 are looking for other than "boring replica" - look in a Hot Rod forum where novelty is key.

Have a nice day
Henrik
