I am not trying to stir the whole regular replica mass debate, but I kind of like that one. What do you recon?

Re: mmm Replicas
love the Dino, not into replicas but that could tempt if i was, needs to have the right engine a std na would be naff, and a turbo would be awful, needs a V6
Re: mmm Replicas
I dislike the whole fake Ferrari scene, but as a shape that looks very nice. Not far off the price of a real Dino though!

Yeah no question a V6 would be the only way to go, imagine a Dino driving along on and hearing the dump valve dumping... stoooopid

Re: mmm Replicas
Hey! I didn't even start this one!
My 2 cents is that an MR2 is an MR2 and sticking faux Ferrari panels onto it just cheapens and insults the work of the designers and engineers that originally brought the marque into being.
If you want a Ferrari go buy one - if you can't afford it SAVE!
Just don't ruin any more MR2s - the "Chavs" seem to be doing a good enough job of that already!

blacker than the blackest black, TIMES INFINITY!

The problem is that the MR2 (especially turbo versions) is such a brilliant doner vehicle!
Thats why I made one of mine into a mid engined Ford RS200 replica.

Edit - I dont like the normal bolt on ferrari kits either, but the Dino looks good.

Re: mmm Replicas
oh yes, love the RS200
Re: mmm Replicas
Love that RS200,and to be fair it seemed like a bit of a ford kit car when it was made and you see so few on the road it would be a pleasure to spot real or not.
Can't say I like the ferrari, I don't dislike some of them (the better lambos do look good but that one looks somehow wrong

Loving the RS200
The Dino looks nice but not something I'd go for personally. I'm on the fence when it comes to replica bodykits, some look ok and others look completely gash.
In the case of the above Dino, although it's a nice looking car, I personally wouldn't want to take the looks of my car back 30 odd years or whatever it is. Chrome bumpers, etc is a bit too retro for my tastes.
