:D okay then.


. . .but why then, care if the machine has the proper lable?

I don't care, if it is what it is. Reproductions badged as originals are a misrepresentation. My pet peeve. All those fake Speedsters that have Porsche badges. They are not a Porsche. Badging it as that is a misrep and the only one you're fooling is you. Hence my statement. Now I would respect them if the were badged R-E-P-R-O instead of P-O-R-S-C-H-E. Makes me want to pry the badge off them when I see them. I don't mind if you love your car but let's call it what it is. Would it be OK to put Harley Davidson on a Honda?

Beck has his own badge, IIRC.

island I don't mean to sound pissy but repros are a pet peeve. Like T's badged as S's. I'll take a nap now.....I'll wake up better.

Yes, how offensive that somebody create an affordable, mostly-faithful replica of a classic car that is essentially unobtainium. :rolleyes:

That, I get. the whole "poser-look at my lable" thing is sad.

But what I'm saying is; who cares about "the badge" . . .if you look under the skin, the Beck is very much in keeping with the engineering vision of Porsche. (the boxster is not) That's what I see, anyway.

So what about those "Porsche bicycles" ?

. . .they are actually made by Trek (or some major brand) and re-badged by "Porsche."

So.. . if I go out and buy a Trek, repaint/rebadge it . . .is it any less a "Porsche bicycle" ?

hmmmm ;)

A pissing match among Porsche owners? I can't believe it !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Stop the madness!

isn't that a Chevy?? i'm up ...I feel better now.

I have no problem with that....just don't put a Porsche badge on it. I have to go build a P-38 now.

Someday I will have a Beck Spyder and an Autofarm backdated Carrera with a 3.8L motor. Someday.

Isn't that a Bolex?

Have to get this back on track :D
