bit of an insult to citroen that
this should be crushed what an insult to jaguar
my point is NO-ONE deserves to have their car taken away and scrapped just because some italian tractor company doesnt like a 'lookalike' being made of their car, he wasnt trying to sell it as a ferrari or anything, calm down guys
Excuse me? "some Italian tractor company" What are you on about you lunatic.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elAK6yJtpyk

t car, should have stayed with the Porsche". He collected it in heavy rain from the Ferrari dealer, he pulled out turned the wipers on and within a mile they had stopped working. He returned to the dealer to be told "things like this, they are mild idiosyncrasies, they give Ferraris characture, we will put it back on for you; the arm becomes detached from the motor it will happen again maybe on your journey home I'll show you how to fix it". He never had a good word to say about his 360 except that in the Chinese community it gave a good impression for business as it "a good sysmbol of sucess". He also commented on how they'd bend him over at servicing, I think he said the first service (and it had a really low service intervals) on the ferrari he could have run the porsche for about 3 years.
If I could afford a Ferrari, I'd buy a Porsche or something else thats been put together correctly.
If I wanted a modern, full functioning supercar, I'd definitely go with the (new 3.8L) 997 GT3.
We would be a pretty boring bunch if we all liked the same thing, live and let live. If this car was being sold as a Ferrari then yes it needs to be crushed before someone gets ripped off. If it's being sold as a replica then no harm done. Seems a little harsh as it wasn't even being sold

What is irrelevant however is your opinion on how long a poster has been a member of the forum. Just because you have your feet firmly under the table doesn't give you any more right to start calling the shots on what is right or wrong, get over yourself.
Yeah yeah whatever, the simple point is look at most of the threads on GG, if you take a look at all the stupid, unhelpful posts i.e where someone comes on a thread just to say 'its st' I think you will find a large proportion of them are newer members.Call it what you want but thats what is happening. And if you think it is a sensible intelligent person who wants to crush someone elses property just because they don't like it....well as I said, it says much more about them.

Just as an aside, there seems to be a lot of people on here (mainly people who haven't been members for that long if I am honest) are saying that the car should be crushed and the owner deserves it.
Do you all think that if the populace of opinion is so against any car that they should be crushed? Serious question how many people does it take to dislike a car until it 'deserves' to be crushed?
As someone said earlier anyone who deliberately wants to harm someone elses P&J whether it is to your taste or the vast majority of peoples tastes is scum.
If someone likes their car I couldn't give a fk whether it is a Ferarari replica, E type replica or Gallardo replica, it is their car, their property, they are the ones that have to be seen in it. Trust me it says far more about the type of person you are than the replica owner.
Pathetic repsonses on this thread, standard on PH really is plummeting with all the newer people who join.
If that "replica" is indeed being crushed it's because of trademark infringement, in EXACTLY the same way that counterfeit DVDs and fake Rolexs are seized and destroyed. The trademark owner, in this case Ferrari, have every right to protect their (intellectual) property, the fact that the "replica" in question is of a very poor quality is beside the point!Do you all think that if the populace of opinion is so against any car that they should be crushed?

Come on at least make sensible comments!!

What about that guy in Poland that is building McLarent F1 replica from scratch? Should that be crushed too? Or that guy in germany who build SLR replica based on 190E? Would you send that one to the crusher?
It might be a copyright thing but that doesn't mean the car should be destroyed. Maybe the kit's producer could be sued but that is it.
Besides, come on, a bit of self critisizm people. Don't get all protective about everything. Copyrighting everything isn't the way to go.
What if the guy (Jonas Salk) who invented the vaccine for polio copyrighted it and sold it instead of giving it away? Would you like that? He could have done it but he decided to let it go.
Replica's wont exactly hurt Ferrari's sales, will they?
Maybe we should be more considerate and let things slide once in a while.

It's the sort of member you can expect to see a hell of a lot more of with the current crass editorials being produced Bales. Mindless morons are 10 a penny and the retards that put together this type of article share their mentality.Oh and @ Delta Evo, I know this is going to come as a real shock to you - I mean you might actually want to sit down to try and comprehend it so your brain doesn't freeze up, but not everyone likes Ferrari. That doesn't make them jealous, it just means they don't like them. I've had plenty of experience of the brand through friends to know that they are unreliable, poorly constructed s
t. They sell well because morons defend the clopping donkey to the death. Maybe they should upgrade the badge to a baaing sheep to fit better with their customer and fan base.Maybe this should be enforced here with ZERO TOLLERANCE
Any tosspot with an M badge on the back of their BMW should have their fake M Series taken away and crushed.
Every 911 Turbo that some moronic owner has felt the urge to add an 'S' to the name should have their fake car trashed.
And the following highly illegal vehicles should be destroyed with extreme prejudice
Think I'll nip down to Brooklands with a can of petrol to rid the world of this true work of evil...IT MUST BE DESTROYED!!!
BURN!

For the record I feel there is an essential difference between a coachwork built replica of a car that has been out of production for several decades (viz GT40, DB4 Zagato) with the consent of the original manufacturers, and a Ferrari 355 that's not really a Ferrari, its a b
dised MR2 built by lord-knows-who...robert_raw said:
Ouch, even if it is a fake, it is still a nice car.
I bet it is probs one of the most reliable ferraris ever made lol
Sorry but i couldn't disagree more,the MR2 Ferrari clone looks like a cheap fake (which it clearly is) & secondly the 355 i used to own never gave me a single problem.I bet it is probs one of the most reliable ferraris ever made lol
Take that to Monza instead Fat Arnie said:
So how would one stand taking a car like this to Italy?
Lets assume its got Ferrari badges, but can it justifyably wear these given it has a Ferrari engine?
I might own something similar to this and might rather fancy taking it to Monza one day.

t a little i got so incensed by it, even though I'll never likely come across one or be able to spot it if I did.Oops, sorry my mistake there, I slipped into retard PH'er mode.
Got any details on it sir? would love to take a gander over some info.
