Now this is a midi...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=7251&item=4524398728&rd=1

I don't know what to say... a VW kit that kinda looks like a Z28. And someone, somewhere, thought, "You know, these'll sell like hotcakes, we'll make a million."

And coated with spray-on pickup truck bedliner.... I'm going to be ill...

That's highly likely to make my top 10 ugliest cars of all time ... and probably top 5 silly ideas.

I wonder if your "twin" agrees with your thinking...

What amazes me is there are people bidding real money on it. 2k$ and still seven days to go. As the guy said, there is a sucker born every minute.

KB, it may look like spray on liner to you, but it is actually police-radar absorbing Stealth paint . It is made by extracting the anti-matter of the chrome paint on the bling BMW M3 (very hush hush).

I am wondering what the long term consequnces of mounting exhausts directly on (presumably) GRP bodywork. I imagine an all-too-real twin flames shooting out back, afturburner kind of effect? Wonder where the gas tank is mounted? Well, the ad does say "one of a kind".

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

No space to install a gun rack; essential for SVA in Texas. Oh, and a spitton.
