(Others here probably know more about this than I ... but I'm going to post it anyway...)

Didn't the kit plane industry go through a similar, um, re-alignment a dozen years back? Something about some kit manufacturers selling turnkey planes and the buyers registering the planes as Experimental (thus avoiding all sorts of rules).

After the re-alignment the kit planes have to be 50% assembled by the purchaser / pilot to be classified as Experimental.

If Turnkey replicas are going to become a thing of the past, 50% builds might become things of the future.

Excalibur,

Thanks! It's just that I'm old enough to remember the 107 Series Mercedes when they were imported into the States in the mid-70's. The 5-mph bumpers and US sealed beam headlamps turned a gorgeous car into a joke.

All of this talk about new regulations covering one of the last few "fun-to-wrench-on" car segments is like the nightmare that won't go away.

Talking I know!

We could have an entire section of CC devoted to "Mystery Guests". Every week a new celebrity comes to CC under a different name, and in 25 posts or less we guess the persons real name!

However, intent of the person may take A LOT more posts...

all south african imports from south african companies recieve a subsidity from the goverment on tooling and product exported. This can be up to 25% of the exported value, rebated to the manufacturer. This is to incourage south african business business development.

The South Africans subsidize Toyotas, Nissans, and Kias? Man it is getting stranger and stranger.

Jinwang registered with CC in April 2000 and his first post was on this thread almost 3 years later??????? This is good stuff! I wonder just how many gov't employees / Shelby employees are watching this thread???? Makes you wonder - huh? Like I said in a earlier post on this topic........better get 'em while they're hot boys. Pretty soon we'll be seeing Cobra replicas with rubber bumpers, air bags, smog equipment / mufflers, and we'll all be required to wear helmets!

Angry Wasted Time

Now that I've p#$ssed away about 15 minutes (slow reader) on this post I've come to the conclusion that in alot of cases this forum is populated by folks that I'd rather stay clear of. Put another way, you've wasted my time for the last time.

Adios!

Yeah, I use my real name and location. You got a problem with what I have to say, come and visit me.

Default Hank-Same here

Hank

I note that not many people respond to posts that include the poster's name and just plain old open communication.

I totally agree with you. (I hope your dog barks LOL)
