Al, I think that one is actually the original....


No real way of confirming I suppose, but the other car bodies that I've seen are clearly faked, but that one would have been faked for what forum? And you can still see the tree's shape through the windshield.

Wow...at first I thought that was just a reflection. That spoke is actually painted red! I thought I was bad with mods.

I almost hate to admit it but, if they did something different with the tail. Ousted the ugly fin lights and bumper and incorporated the vette tail into it, I wouldn't mind the look of a corvette wagon.

I hope you are kidding. It may look cool when it's "chopping" but it's fugly any other time. Any wheel looks good spinning.

Ken Block is a good entertainer but he sucks as a rally driver.

bse50 is a Formula 1 driver from Italy, I think he would do just fine against Mr. Block.
