Some will love it, some will hate it.

For me it needs painted before I play my hand.

i like it. needs painting in something interesting. candy colours with flames

I think that if it was finished to a high standard then it would be an impressive novelty car...

...but if it ends up shabby then it's a disaster.

It reminds me of the cars on the old Milky Way ad that made a recent re-appearance. That was one of my favourite ads as a kid.

The car needs to be painted candy blue with metal flake paint.

Just love the 'penknife' doors


Stott - 26/3/10 at 09:53 PM

Don't slag it off or the owner will shoot you........



JoelP - 26/3/10 at 09:57 PM

ditto davids comments, its all down to the finish.


deanwelch - 26/3/10 at 09:58 PM

doors are novel.................


NigeEss - 26/3/10 at 10:13 PM

Well it's certainly original !

'think i like it but i am on beer number 6 and counting '

I'm on beer number one and I hate it. More to the point I doubt my five year old son would fit in it and my eleven year old definitely wouldn't. It's an impressive piece of work if you like that sort of thing But I doubt whether it'll be anything other than undriveable due to lack of headroom.


skydivepaul - 26/3/10 at 10:27 PM

i like it different especially the penknife doors.

needs finishing in a menacing matt grey colour for full effect


Dale - 26/3/10 at 10:31 PM

Love it in a strange and demented kind of way. Kind of Frankensien meets batman kind of way.
Flat black and blood red hmmm

I know it's wrong, but I want it


MakeEverything - 27/3/10 at 07:39 AM

I like it. Shame its rear engine though. Could be a very nice custom. the roof chop looks like its been done quite well.

I jus showed the missus, and she said "Dont even think about it Richard!"!!

She went on to say it looks like something like a Pimp-mobil!

I quite like it. Not sure on the rear fins though (maybe slightly too big) and i really dont like the doors opening different ways.


imp paul - 27/3/10 at 08:53 AM

Tub of moly grease and a run up, I might make it


Ninehigh - 29/3/10 at 08:05 PM

Wow, like it. Could do with the roof being a bit higher though so you can see out!

Just shown it to the missus and she thinks it looks like a serial killer's car
