Whats peoples opinions on the covin 911 replica?
Good or bad?

Gulvalese in the extreme

OK, might be showing my ignorance here,
what does Gulvalese mean.

Gulvalese.
The language spoken by the inhabitants of Gulval. A small Cornish village with a certain element of inbreeding. Hence the 6-toed jokes.
I'm sure that every county has its own Gulval,but you're welcome to share. They could do with some new genetic material.

Hope this helps!

Ian

Oh,my opinion of the Covin. I'd rather have a hill billy stepside pick up truck.

I think it can be roughly translated to
a Fu*#ing pile of steaming shi#e!
or something similar

Apologies to anyone who read my unedited version, i do sincerely hope you are over the age of 18 e.t.c Thought this site automatically edited naughty language?

Sooner have a Lada than a replica porker, at least they are rare these days

Sh1t
crappy beetle chassis and engine with a fake body
very poor, dont even go there

Confession time !...............I drove one once, it was truely awful in the extreme. All show with no go. 1980's kit build quality etc etc.

I know that the 911 has beetle DNA and it was prehaps a good idea in the 1980's (when the covin would have been the same as the fake ferrari's on MR2's available now) but now whats the point? a porker is only 10K or less.

here's an idea use the body shell and put a middy chassis under it with a V6 or V8 engine so it would go and handle.

I can never see the point in replicas that don't even come close to the performance / handling of the original.

Imagine, your sitting at the lights in your Porsche replica, and some kid pulls up in a Nova and he can out gun you. (Not that I condone traffic light drags, but you know what I mean).

Same goes for Pinto powered Cobras, IMHO.

Much better to stick a porker engine in the boot of your beetle and give people a few surprises. Or a monster V8 in your Cortina, than a Cortina engine in your Cobra.

All IMHO.

I agree, i always wanted to put a cosworth 2.9 v6 in a mk5 cortina and watch the faces of the boy racers as the "old car" leaves them in a cloud of tire smoke (I'm an old boy racer at heart)

ditch

Tim covin did run a nice scaled down 55 chevy in the promodified drag class many moons ago, so the sale of all those crap kits obviously paid well!!!
