Interesting thought actually - the drop in the 'real' market must have joyfully resulted in the bottom falling out of the replica market! tongue out

I was looking at that advert yesterday. I quickly scanned the add and was a bit confused as to why it was a group 13. Then when I bothered to read the text properly saw it was a replica.

It hooked me in for a good 30 seconds before I realised! I was thinking *holy cr4p* Has the 360 gone below 30k?! redfaceredface

Then I figured that the pictures I had assumed simply had mucked up aspect ratios... well, as it's a kit car - maybe they were accurate? tongue outhehe

The interior is a real give away!

Nice gate tongue out

"Vechile"

I can't believe we've all missed that and allowed it to pass un-derided! hahaha tongue out ...and it has been written 3 times so it's not just a typo! hehe

The rest of it though was fitted by yts kids and gorrillas with a spanner (ie grown up yts kids biglaugh )

Its bad enough but when you can see inside the car and see that awful interior it makes it even worse.

As a former owner of an MR2 Roadster I'm appalled at what they've done.

Bring back Capital Punishment!
