    Nothing wrong with a replica I really don’t understand the hate towards them - especially classics

      The hate on replicas comes from people who have never been in one. I've recently been in a Porsche 550 Spyder replica, there is no way anyone is buying the real car, and the replica was just incredible and totally delivered on the road: Looks and performance wise.

    • @thedownshiftchannel

      @lifesabeach3036 Před 5 lety +5

      @@williampowell9013 By my understanding it was built on a chassis with similar architecture to a D-Type.. so it's not nearly the same thing as a MR2 with a bodykit. Obviously there's not going to be an affordable D-Type chassis just floating around.

    That is a beautiful thing, when you build a replica of an iconic car simply because you love it that much then it should be admired. Jonny obviously did a great job with it and I for one think it’s amazing, anyone who wouldn’t feel special driving around in that is not a true petrol head!

    Replicas are a wonderful idea because they allow people like Johnny to own their dream car without spending millions of dollars. When done well and tastefully, a replica can replicate the actual car it emulates almost perfectly. The only thing is that the owner mustn't pretend that he owns the real thing. As long as you're honest with yourself, replicas are outstanding machines.
