Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

Ok. That makes sense. That would apply to any manufacturer that was around back then and is around today.

To take your Ferrari analogy, that you continue to use. If Ferrari were to stop delivering cars with engines and transmissions, and sold only kits, and the chassis was built by someone else, like say Google, and you put a ford in it.
Would that still be REAL Ferrari?

You grind your axe. I'll grind mine.

Again, No one is attacking the kits/cars, just the owners who are trying to pass them off as something they aren't.
Same thing would happen if a Kirkham, SPF, era, ff5 or other was trying to do the same


Ps. Stop playing the victim, You have too nice a replica to get any sympathy from me.

Pps. I really do admire the tenacity, stubbornness & effort to which you defend the indefensible.

Kind regards.
