I saw this shot -



and thought it looked great (im a fan of that slit window look on hotrods) but all the other angles are pretty poor.

Isnt the steering wheel far to close to the centre line?

The bloke who dreamt that up has got some imagination. Why would it even cross your mind to build something like that?

Although I do like it, it would be so much better if it was a diesel.

Check out 1970's to 1980's Italian car colours
...the AlfaSud came with it hidden under the standard colours and it appeared after a couple of years

I think maybe he's tried to go for the "slammed truck" look, and sort of failed. The roof chop looks ok. And that paint is super cool, just on the right vehicle.

Now that is slammed. Slammed and juiced I would imagine, or it'll never go anywhere.

I was having some tyres fitted the other day and the fitter was telling me about the craze of tyre stretching. He showed me a photo of a car that came in last week which had about 10mm of bare rim sticking out each side of the tyre! And aparently it's legal!

Here's a pic of what it's all about but this one isn't extreme by any means
