I think Brian meant Anne, Helen but he wouldn't last five minutes with you either! [
well i thought it was funny..
[:-]umm, maybe i should have used real fur for my wolf's clothing
I actually dont disagree with most of your reply Helen, apart mainly from the fact that, NO kitcars should not be on a display at a Porsche Show. Take them to a kitcar show if you want appreciation for them.
Ken, you were not alone in wondering why it was there. Plenty of people mentioned that Kitcar should not have been there, in silly outlaw clothing at that.
Thats why they are not allowed, because they are the very people who break rules deliberately, when rules are there for a reason.
How would you feel having worked hard all your life to buy your dream Speedster, only to find some muppet decides to crash your display and park his plastic fantastic right next to you.
People did'nt drive many hours to get there only to have a kitcar park next to them
I very much hope there ARE complaints about it.
I am not a snob but I just appreciate people who make an effort to keep the stock scene alive and organise such displays off their own back in their own time for other people's enjoyment.
There are very few stock displays, and some idiot feels fit to spoil it.
People who love stock dont want to park with kitcars in a display. Yet people with kitcars seem to want to crash their display.
Thats selfishness on their part, not snobbery on mine.

good grief..
there is no hope for you. . i couldn't give a dam if someone parked their 356 or 911 kit car (and yes, they are made) right next to my real ones, infact i would be flattered. and have a bit of a laugh with them. i certainly wouldn't be threatened by them.
life is far too short to be so worried about such a little thing..
if you have a real speedster then enjoy it and stop fretting that somone else is getting as much pleasure out of a replica of your car for a fraction of the cost.
i think your real problem is that lesser mortals can't tell the diffrence. thats your problem and not mine.. i am quite Happy with my fibreglass copy.

..just for the record there is NO suggestion that replicas should be at shows along side the original Porsches.. the usual course is that they have their own display area within the show. Plus a few related trade stands as well in the traders area.
this has not only worked well at other shows it has infact been benificial to both parties

Anne,
If you can take a timeout from your soapbox and read Ken's post what he said was:
Which the rest of the world interprets as "That nice".
It also means that someone, presumably a PCGB club member, had the audacity to park the spawn of Satan in a Porsche line-up at a Porsche Club GB event. Then if that wasn't bad enough another PCGB member came along and thought it well made and well detailed. Things are really going to the dogs, there was even a display of motorcycles at Eynsham the other year. Do you know the people that ride those things wear leather trousers? (Sorry PK [
]).I do actually have a major problem with your claim of not being a snob.
snob
noun [C] MAINLY DISAPPROVING
a person who respects and likes only people who are of a high social class, and/or a person who has extremely high standards who is not satisfied by the things that ordinary people like:
This might be OTT...
xenophobia
noun
extreme dislike or fear of foreigners, their customs, their religions, etc.

[] oh I just found these faces and I can use them
Well i have never been involved with a typing face off.. []
I think I have made my corner clear.. The kit I saw looked well made and well detailed. Personaly don't care if they parked next to my car. The person has taken alot of time to detail the car to the orginal. I hope they enjoy it.. I certainly would.
Now I understand why the 912 owner I met up with said to me to enjoy the club but watch out. Get what you can from it and ignor the rest. He was right!! how much was it to join this cat claw club?
Like I said other clubs have replica's and are very much part of the club. If this club do not like it then fine. There will be others that will. I will be at Classic Le Mans in a few weeks and I will see countless replica's and the detail will be a joy to see and the owners I am sure will enjoy telling me how much time and effort they took to get the car right.. many will be on the race track next to orginals.
So what about the 904 replica's. What an amazing car, 911 running gear and an almost total match to the orginal. I would be tempted my self if my pension wasn't doing so bad. []

correct that ones definatly molded around a dodgy chassis & floorpan, and i think looks could be improved with some new light weight body panels. but on the whole shes not a bad runner considering her age [
][]I find it amusing that a few people who dont seem to understand why rules are created to give form to any car show, and then stamp their feet and resort to personal insult and make incorrect assumptions & statements just because they are wrong. ( But dont like it)
My views do not represent any club or person other than my own.
I joined POCGB only recently last year interested to meet other people and discover more about other cars like our own and attend one or two meets each year where we can look at genuine real and correct cars of all models. ( Oh and the magazine is superb!)
I am also in the Historic VW Club GB for the same reasons. Stock cars are the minority in the VW scene, but fortunately in the Porsche scene, the prices seem to be keeping the modifiers out for a bit longer.
We see many Porschealike kitcars each year on 70's floorpans/reg's at both local carshows and VW shows. And there is certainly nothing wrong with them in their own right for what they are, 'a kitcar that looks a bit like a Porsche'.
BUT it is a VERY refreshing change JUST ONCE A YEAR not to have to walk round them.
Just hundreds of correct and rare Porsches in a rainbow of correct & original factory colours! [][]
