Dan and Daves visit to Alloycars

[AL427SBF]

Dan, you gave it your best shot, been there and done that. Many appreciate what you have shared here today, thanks for taking the time.
Buzz, nothing has changed but commend you for trying ... "I did some searching about and there is a lot of positive being said about Ingo Poth and the Porsche replicas. Somehow I don't think that will make any difference to some of you - you've decided it's war and now validation of your position is all that matters."

Alloycars will succeed because the market is there and they have 100% of the in-house capability to do it, and want to do it. They are the only true USA supplier of aluminum cobra replicas, even SAI can't make that claim using Kirkham bodies. Alloycars is a high end coach builder and has been for years. The commentary here will have "0" impact on them moving forward, and they are moving forward in a big way which will become evident soon enough.

The bolded portion of your opinion is the only portion that may be true. The market may be there. I don't know what the market penetration would be for a $20K alloy body for the FFR's (or any fiberglass replica). The whole kit from FFR is $20K. But, hopefully, we'll find out.

Your commentary will have zero impact on them moving forward either. For me, your opinion is pure speculation at this point of a business that doesn't appear to have a customer as of yet. I found some obscure references to a possible customer or two for the Porsche 550 replica product, but it's not 100% clear that there are legitimate customers for these either. If there are customers, then they're unknown at this time. Certainly ZERO on the two Porsche forums that I'm a member of. Of course, PCA wouldn't allow them as a part of their site since you actually have to own an actual production Porsche to be a member.

As for 100% American, were a global economy, I betcha there's something non-USA that will be installed or built on their future Cobra. Personally, made in the USA is just doesn't have the same meaning it once did.

Honestly, for someone who just recently torched the site and one of the moderators, then said goodbye to CC, only to come back, doesn't get much respect in my book. Don't threaten the "nuclear option", unless you actually intend to follow through.

I never said it, please post the link to those words.
What I said was "back with the silent majority", indeed to watch in amusement, but I can come and go as I please. I also mentioned the lack of reading comprehension, you distinguish yourself as one on that list. Please do counter with some nonsensical interpretation of what I've said, getting it right has not been your strong suit but I do enjoy a good laugh now and then.

I want everyone to not start with doubt just give me the opportunity to tell my story as I have been here a long time & deserve that opportunity. I want not to be attach as was the Alloy team & yes that name calling that occurred should have never happened on any forum and if this thread goes south as the other 2 have, then I have not had my opportunity to try & resolve every issue you have.

OK, done. Your Post #100 of thread "Alloycars are real":

"It's been an interesting experience, and not without some high points, but no longer an objective place to voice an opinion, so time to move on. For those who have been helpful to me I am indebted and appreciate the info you have shared."

"Go ahead Jamo, spin up some nonsense to save a little face, I'm already gone."



And then this from Jamo, who you insulted (which I won't post) at least twice:

"BTW, second posting by AL427SBF personally coming at me...and still no ban. Go figure."


"Time to move on"? "I'm already gone"? Seriously, how else would anyone interpret these words and actions? Puh-leeze, you "torched the village" and then decided to come back. When you deploy the "nuclear option" and then come back, at least in my book, respect is lost. Not a person of their word(s).

Mike are you saying you choose a FF5 over a Kirkham or a CS?

Yes, the FFR frame was more suited to my purposes which will become apparent in the not too distant future and the FFR body is a POS that I just have to deal with. Please be clear, I am not saying the FFR is a better car, just more suited to what I am doing. If I were to go out and buy a roller for the purpose of driving without significant modification, it would without a doubt be a Kirkham. If I wanted something truly original it would be one of the wide body small block AC cars from the UK.
