WHY!!!

[S14]

I know there has been similar posts before but I just dont get this. I really dont.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-MR2-TURBO-FERRARI-355...

Gotta love the 1st picture - looks like a picture of a picture!!!!!

[Negative Creep]

At least it's just a bodykit as opposed to a full on replica. First picture appears to be the brochure shot, probably from a 10 year old Max Power

I don't think it looks too bad to be fair, my only objection is when they go full hog with the ferrari badges as well.

I agree. It actually quite suits it, and it doesn't pretend to be a Ferrari in any other way. No hideous fake badges or any other "dreamer" stuff.

[Ferg]

Why not?
Hundreds and hundreds of people have built pretend Cobras.

[Deluded]

Regardless whether it copies a ferrari design, it's actually a pretty nice, and quite subtle kit for the MR2. I like it, but not in a "I've got a ferrari" way. The kit suits the car.

[S14]

ok, fair enough, its not a full replica but why put ferrari 355 in the title?

I don't intend to upset anyone here, just my views and I get tired of kitted up Mr2's. At least a Cobra is an iconic car and most replicas you see are actually quite good.

looks quite nice, no idea why it has 355 in the title. I wouldnt feel bad driving it.

[The Major]

i wouldnt buy that purely from the bad spelling in the ad.

I surprised he manged to spell 355!

Unfortunately skool won't help much. I recommend reading all of Bill Bryson's books instead...

Oh, and the "Ferrari" looks like an MR2, which of course it is!

I don't want to turn this into a grammar thread, but I'm just stunned at the amount of these adverts that are supposedly written by adults. Is the education system in this country really this bad?

Did the wheels not arrive first time?

On second thoughts maybe 'RESENT' wasn't a typo, maybe he just doesn't like new wheels.

Do you expect an MR2 owner to spell ? It's the Jap version of a Nova :P
