That will confuse Zeus for sure....

I can map out his current thought process.......

Duh....
750hp's real name is Craig!!!!????

WTF !!!!????

So theeeeerrrrforrrrrrre..........

He MUST be Craig White!!!

But then WHO is Warwick Boylan!!????

Is he REALLY Warren Harrison,PRETENDING to be Craig White...

Duuuuuuhhh....

But that can't be right???

Maybe I got this wrong, and Warwick Harrison DIDN'T copy any FFR Daytonas...but he just copied another Warren Boylan....

My brain hurts...!!!

Poor Zeus....go have a bex mate,and a nice lie down....you've lost the plot.

So there's TWO of me now??!

.....that explains the numbers on the bathroom scales...there's two of us on there.

Cheers,
Warren

Sorry FFR are not comparable to AP's product. FFR are cheap (in the States) and made for a market which it does well over there.

Warwick did bring in a few FFR Daytonas and modified them to comply with Aussie design rules and replaced some of the cheap rubbbish parts supplied with the so called complete kit. But never claimed they where his design.

Mmmmm........... Exactly why Boxhead has gone for a break!

If you want to dribble Zues, start a dedicated dribble thread that we can avoid if we choose.

Nice one Zeus, AP are building my Chassis and my Body as per their standard rolling chassis order, which I'm paying for. And they are using their own tools. Nothing comes for free. Craig as has been generous enough to storage some parts for me and that's it. In return my body is on display in his Showroom. Which has been paid for in full. Once my car is complete I won't be claiming the build of it, how can I it's a Rolling Chassis. All I will be doing is finishing it. And if I can't do something then I have no shame in getting someone else to do the work for me. We can't all be master engine builders, master painters etc....

Zeus, I wish you well with your pursuit for happiness and your passion for Cobras.

Wow nothing like a bit of spice to the forum on a Sunday morning.
To those regulars of the forum I'm sure you will know that I rarely post due to some past err's but I certainly do enjoy following.
I actually request my customers to do the same but I hope that you guys can understand that the loyalty and enthusiasm that you guys have toward the Pace cars is also shared by others toward whichever particular brand of these great cars they are building. Be it a G force, RMC, a CR or whatever I personally love them all and I do agree that the Pace vehicle is at the top of the tree as to Cobras in this country.
I have only met Craig once and agree, top fella, awesome product and even if and I say IF in capitals there are any issues I now that he will be all over them as would I.
Heck, if it wasnt for an earlier fall out on this forum I probably would have approached him about supporting his product over here in the west, as I feel that big desert is a major barrier to both our businesses.
To those of you building AP cars, congrats on your decision, there is no doubt that you will have great vehicles and a tonne of fun.
We are working on some exciting things here also and hope when the time is right we will be welcome to participate on this forum sometime down the track to share.
Here's wishing all builders, present & future all the best.

A Harrison is nothing but a Badly done copy of an old Factory Five, as is YOUR OWN so called Coupe which is again a poorly done copy of a FFR GEN 1 65 Coupe. You might have made some mod's(very few) but that is a FACT.
Stay retired where your relevant.
As for listing details on who the NSW Engineer is I don't feel it as my position to do so but the statement is a fact and Yes I believe he has reviewed the CAD drawings. If your concerned call the NSW Cobra Club and ask for their recommended Engineer, he's based down near Wollongong.
And wow 488 I'm sure you car is going together well, free loading a ride in the Pace factory where any f/up is fixed in house that's really building a car yourself. Lend his tools too do ya mate.... I'm sure you'll be the first to brag Ï built it myself".
By the way... Factory Five is in its 20th year next year and has made almost 9000 Cobra replica's. No doubt in my mind they will be around when I need them. Time will tell if you can still get parts for your Pace in 20 years time, probably more chance I guess than getting Harrison parts. Oh sorry I forgot you could probably use FFR parts on a Harrison, that's one advantage of it being a copy of the worlds most popular Cobra replica.
Oh brother!
Just a tad hostile mate...
Have you no class?

Cut it out you two! I'm trying to have a nice quiet Sunday arvo here but I'm getting sore ribs from laughing so much. Poor old Zeus the goose! Talk about going off half-cocked!

And a Boylan #40????? Priceless!

Good move 750 grabbing the post before it has a chance to be edited. This is one that simply has to be retained for posterity as an example of how stupid one can be made to look by running off at the mouth without making the slightest attempt at fact checking. It's a no-brainer. Hmm --no-brainer -- quite appropriate ...

Wow - step away from the forum for a few days and someone has made a bigger goose of themselves than Icetoo claiming his DRB chassis was collaboration between Carrol Shelby, Enzo Ferrari, Karl Benz and pope Francis.

In Zeus's defence though, it is a very easy mistake to make:

Here is Wazz in Warwicks CObra:



And here is Warwick in Wazzas cobra:



Go easy on the Greek god guys. Anyone of us could have made the same mistake.

Cheers

That's a bit hard on yourself Zeus.
At least you apologised which is a bit novel around here.
Hang around. This rate of defections is unsustainable.
