is it a genuine mexico?

[Rick]

I hate this question with a passion and is the big conversation killer.

 

i get people all excited getting to look at the car. then they pop the question to which i reply. No, its a replica.

 

then they kinda go. 'ooooooh ' as though the car has bubbled with rust and fallen to bits.

 

i mean FFS you didnt know the difference 2 seconds ago whats changed

 

im gonna start saying yes from now on, its only the odd 1% of people that would prove me wrong

ye but im not gonna pass it off as somet its not, especially as its for sale

i see your point, but it is nice for it to be original and if your paying £12k for an 1100l that looks like a mk1 rs2000 then you silly...

 

if you pay concidirably less, hey why not !! but i would want all the right bits on it.

 

BUT, things like my harrier were made in only 1 year, then i would want it to be original... or at least the right year reg.

 

 

 

edit: reading things again i think i have TOTALLY missed the point of this thread .............

[oldbus]

Can feel with you Rick...

 

Who gives a monkeys what other people think eh?

[Rick]

best one i had i think was a man and doris pull up in a car next to me.
