    Now that is a great video.
    Even though it is a replica, it is still a great car.
    And that he lets you drive it.
    Wow, that is seriously cool.
    Great job.
    Keep up the excellent work.

      The hate on replicas comes from people who have never been in one. I've recently been in a Porsche 550 Spyder replica, there is no way anyone is buying the real car, and the replica was just incredible and totally delivered on the road: Looks and performance wise.

      @@williampowell9013 By my understanding it was built on a chassis with similar architecture to a D-Type.. so it's not nearly the same thing as a MR2 with a bodykit. Obviously there's not going to be an affordable D-Type chassis just floating around.

    That is a beautiful thing, when you build a replica of an iconic car simply because you love it that much then it should be admired. Jonny obviously did a great job with it and I for one think it’s amazing, anyone who wouldn’t feel special driving around in that is not a true petrol head!
