They just want to know if it's original or not. I tell 'em it's "Fake" and just smile. They still give me the thumbs up.

I like that - it answers their question honestly, probably with what they wanted to hear anyway, but still leaves them wondering if you're pulling their chain.

Tempered by the fact that at this point in time, my only Cobras are a Scalextric 289FIA slot car, an Exoto 1:18 scale 260 slabside, and a GMP 1:12 289FIA, nothing bigger  but I certainly aspire to a bigger one, I'm modifying my ideal response to "Yair mate, it's a cheap fake."
This would work OK if it's a kit, a turnkey, or CSX2080 that I might have just bought at auction. Bottom line, I agree, is we don't want to take ourselves too seriously, we just want to enjoy for ourselves whatever level of ownership we have.

OK here goes, this will be my reply if and when asked.....
now that's providing I get my car sometime soon, since there are now fit and finish issues with the engine and the new delivery date is late March early April..... 
Is it real?......
"No, its not an original 1965 Cobra if that's what you are asking, I cannot afford one of those since they go for about 4 million bucks, whereas this Cobra is a 2010 Superformance replica and only costs me US$130,000, its got a 511cu inch engine rated at 573HP with 556 pounds of torque and can take any car on the road."
Now, if that don't gobsmack them, they're idiots. 
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
