". Ford CVH XR3 engine, mated to a Beetle transaxle. The combination works very well and has a feel and sound to it like an original 911."
YEAH RIGHT!!!

Uncanny, I really LOVE allotments too, but exactly where do you purchase a spastic nowadays?

Does it matter as long as you are paid by the hour rather than on results

This speedster replica looks really realistic, I really thought this was a genuine 356....

Just amazed that someone could come up with such a creation! Can't see the appeal personally...

nope - the words were enough to put me right off- anyway I am allergic to plastic.
I did park near a plastic one once, which to be fair the owner had spent a lot of time and money in persuit of 'originality' - all was going well untill he declared that it was now impossible to tell the difference between his car and the original , and in many ways his efforts were "better than the original"
I didnt have the heart to mention the obvious give-aways, instead I just pointed out an original one could be left close to a bonfire without melting.
