Hedge - I notice from your profile that you have 'recently joined' and that you do not detail much about yourself! Car? Age? Job? Likes/dislikes. I have also read ALL 4 of your contributions to the PH site and so far you are not going to be making many friends.
We have regular meets and gatherings. Some of which can be attended my several hundred members. I would suggest that if you ever wander along to any of these meets you keep a lower profile than that managed so far!
No doubt Ted or one of the Mods will be along soon to 'Have a word' Take on board what is said, read the rules of posting and try to get to know a few people before posting such inflaming statements. We are a friendly lot in here and love a good debate! We do not however take to kindly to personal mud slinging.
Welcome and remember to think before posting. Oh! And turn your CAPS lock off please. It makes reading your posts rather difficult

If you like that kind of thing,thats fine.Personally,after looking at them at Stoneleigh last year,you cannot get an MR2 to look dimensionally correct to the 355.The one I looked at must have cost a fortune to do,but the cars was still not from the side a Ferrari,interior,not Ferrari,engine,not Ferrari and no matter how much money you wanted to spend on it,it still won't be right.They are ideal for people who haven't a clue what to look at and can puzzle them,as they look at the badge.An old girlfriend works for a very prestigious legal company,who are always willing to sue (and have done) companies who use Ferrai badges and Porsche decals,so beware all those copiers.If Mr Banham is around,he'll know all about it.....

hahahahahahahahahahaha sorry but your posts are making my sides hurt. I take it you have been reading your copy of 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'
I must have missed it in all the capital letters but what do you drive? Just curious because you seem to be really concerned about what everyone else here drives.
I try not to bite to these types of threads (my therapist says I'm doing well) but this was fantastic, especially the stuff on the other thread.
One of the good things about these forums is that most people get on regardless of what they drive. There are some disagreements but everyone has one thing in common, they all have petrol in their veins. Now why don't you put your toys back in the pram and try again, anybody would think the other thread touched a nerve.
You have not been subject to hatred but rather some informed oppinions from people that know their subject. It is perhaps unfortunate for you that they do not match yours, but hey, that's life.
This is a kit car forum, I'm sure you realise that we treat the sticking on of extra body panels and big wheels as something more suited to the Saxo & Corsa brigade, nothing particularly wrong with that,we all started somewhere, it's just not to the taste of the vast majority of users of this forum.
If you want to spend upwards of £10 grand on an MR2, replace the shocks, fit decent wheels and tyres and have the engine worked on by Raw engineering (or any other Toyota specialist). This way you will get an outstanding handling and performing car. Or you could just add a load of weight and make the wheels stick out another foot. Your choice.

hedgehogmole, i suspect you are someone alerady on here. However, I would suggest that the majority of people here can afford an MR2 & its insurance & running costs & can tell the difference between an MR2 and a real 355 from about a quarter of a mile. I know I could. Your thoughts ?
you guys an ur mr2 to 355 kits you dont know what your missing look at this for a ferrari replica it already has the performance an handling to go with a ferrari stock so know one will accuse you of wanting to jus pose an as the for the rest of it well the gear lever is such a classic touch i think we should all agree heres a replica to be proud of
