Some kind of primitive Laser buster?

Posted by: Pnambic Jan 20 2004, 11:31 AM

I was just wondering what that would do to police laser speed monitors...

Maybe he's trying to recreate the stealth effect of that Aston Martin in the most recent Bond movie.

plus you didn't mention the $250,000 initial bid, nor the fact that it's in Graz, Austria (but i suppose if you're in that marketplace, shipping is not a factor ...)

it's like the TV repairman who charges $100,000 for a service call. he doesn't get many calls, but he only needs one ...

The mirrors make it illegal for road use in most US states.............

I like it!

Imagine going to shows where women wear short skirts...

I would think it would have been much more "practical" to achieve the same effect by chroming the body or replacing the panels with aluminum and giving it a high luster polish.

IMHO, the car is ruined, they should have used a 356 "kit" car instead

Posted by: ArtechnikA Jan 20 2004, 12:32 PM

it's an Austrian 356 - it was probably ruined (rust...) before.
it doesn't have to be 'practical' - it's "art."

my art is only practical if you're trying to hide something ugly on your wall.

that said, i'm not asking $250,000 a copy either. maybe i should be...

At the Salt Lake City car show they had a Jaguar with a polished aluminum body on display. Looked cool.

One man's art is another man's garbage....at least it's only a crappy 356 C...not like it was worth much stock.....

Saw a chromed cobra at the prehistorics two years ago. Hurt my eyes to look at it, and it was slightly overcast. Looked schweet. Plus you never have to worry about tailgaters with their brights on.

that car is wrong on at LEAST 94 different levels!!! that dick should be shot for ruining a great car!!

the car was closer to being a work of art before all of the mirrors were applied!

tat2d, where ya been man?

Posted by: tat2dphreak Jan 20 2004, 02:35 PM

I've been out O' the loop as they say.... busy with work/new home/new wife/no money(see previous 2 items+paying off wedding etc) reading the forums makes me want to spend more money, which I don't have right now...

but SOON!!! I have a 10 day VACATION planned for the end of MAY... I plan to work on my car TONS that week, even talked a buddy into taking a 6 day vacation the same week to help me out! it should be a major undertaking, but with 10 days.. I think it's doable!!!

Posted by: Red-Beard Jan 20 2004, 04:16 PM

Hmmmm. Romulan 356?

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jan 20 2004, 04:26 PM

That's got Macey Grey written all over it!

Jen, I thought that was polished aluminium. Missed you there

We went for the camping trip with roadglue a week before the historics... If you were there, I was wandering the paddocks in an american flag bikini

Oh THAT was you...

I have to agree with Z...

Posted by: Jenny Jan 20 2004, 05:01 PM

Didn't have a dig camera then.

It's just like that pic of Sydney Moon that was posted a couple days ago though. Give or take a little here and there...

Jen

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jan 20 2004, 05:13 PM

You have a camera now right?

Posted by: Scott Carlberg Jan 20 2004, 05:28 PM

Quick, someone add the "american flag bikini" to her!

That's Sydney Moon... we wanted a picture of Jen!!

Posted by: Jenny Jan 20 2004, 05:35 PM

That tank top actually has a picture of an american flag on it, believe it or not. Just too small to be seen.

Jen

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jan 20 2004, 05:39 PM

Not touching that...

Posted by: Scott Carlberg Jan 20 2004, 05:46 PM
