    Hooked up with "Oscar-Alpha" and commissioned him to do a 1-off custom Testarossa to match my car *exactly*. Here are the progress pics thus far...really outstanding attention to detail.

    The donor car is a Kyosho 1:18 European dual mirror that is being 100% converted to US Spec '86 Flying mirror with the correct metallic black paint and even the bluish carpet in the trunk! He's filled in the euro signal repeaters, reworking the bumper and going to replace the wheels with single lugs. My license plate will even be replicated. Just too awesome...can't wait for it to be done in another week or so.

    While at a light this afternoon, I looked over and there was a beautiful red 1985 Testarosa. it was in such gorgeous condition. What a sight that must have been for the people behind us to see that car and my white lambo. I hope that you post pictures when your car is all done as it sounds really amazing too.
