    I came across this article plus ad in an Australian magazine. I really laughed at those names! :D

    While I think the Ferrino is horrid, I kinda like the bug 911 conversions!
    The cabrio would be fun to bomb around the beach in. Imagine that with a baja bug suspension! :D

    I've got it. The 911 (not 930) nose on a cabrio. Great fun on the beach!

    O.K., now I have to find the pictures from an old issue of Kit Car magazine (early 1980's) that highlighted a guy that custom built a Ferrari 308 GTB-looking body onto his..........(drum roll).....

    FORD PINTO!

    You think that Celica "308" looks bad? You ain't seen nothing yet.

    I seem to remember seeing it for sale and I'm fairly sure its road legal. You can see it has lights and indicators fitted.

    Saw that. There was a lot of cutting done to the Pinto, too.

    Edit: found the issue and scanned it. 1982's Custom & Rod Ideas

    Thank you for doing so, I still haven't found the color pics & article from an old issue of Kit Car magazine. This (& the Celica version) make the Mera & "some" of the other Fiero-based 308 cars (one called "Stinger" is VERY accurate) actually look good. :)

    Found the ad. in a recent issue of Classic & Sports Car magazine:

    Furore F1 Replica. Chance to own a F1 on the road. Two seats. Based on Hawke DL19B racing car chassis & running gear. Twin engine. 2 x Kawasaki ZX10, 1000cc engines, so total of 2 litres, 274 BHP in total. Each has its own clutch & gearbox which are linked, throttle control linked so both engines run together. Trully stunning performance, 0-60 is around 3 secs top speed around 170 mph. 22,500 GBP
    offered by Total Headturners (mostly replicas and kit cars).

    A lot of words to explain a twin-engined lay-out :)

    That Carrera GT looks like it's built on a Boxster. Look at the glass, the convertible top, and the shape of the rear lid..........look familiar? Definitely Boxster!

    I kinda thought that, but the reworked tail pipes threw me off. The body still looks too big for the car...like a gang-bangers pants. :)

    Is it just me, or does the Diablo look "decently real"?

    I was over in Hermosa Beach by the Comedy and Magic Club, and saw this outside:

    I thought to myself, either someone has an OUTSTANDING replica and really likes Jay Leno...or it's his. He performs there every weekend, keeps his stand up skill sharp.

    Thoughts? Did I see 1 of 36?
