 Mostly Holland. Sometimes UK.
This was my favourite Top Trumps card. The Pininfarina Mudulo.

Had no idea it was powered by Ferrari until I saw this vid! Whodathunkit :lol: ..

I took a few pics of this at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este at the weekend. Interesting car.
 
You do realise Chris that subconsciously you're in the process of buying a car that if it was flattened would look the same :D
 
Seems a shame though to chop up a Ferrari 512S to make a car only suitable for UFOs Commander Straker :D Vacarella,_Nino_-_Ferrari_512_S_-_1970-05-31.jpg
 
My favourite at the time, and also my pin-up car was this monstrosity!

Aston Martin Bulldog. Wow ! I've not seen a photo of that in years. It's not aged well :cry:

I remember reading this article and tried to find out if the project was completed or not.
Found some forum posts indicating that it was shelved for some reason and also that someone who had something to do with it had passed away.
Be interested to find out what the current status is....

Fantastic! :D :thumbsup:
 
I'm massively proud to claim to have had one of these as a nipper.
It was my favourite toy and many an hour was spent devising new and more challenging jumps for Plastic Evel to perform. Usually involving varying distances and heights jumping over the family dog. Poor Kip. :lol:

I still don't get it.
What the actual sh!t are you on about buzylar?? :lol:
You need to explain this funny-to-you-and-no-one-else witticism....
:rofl:
The spell checker on my pad makes up most of the stuff and some time I just can't be ars#d to correct it. Managed to switch it off on my phone. Wish I could on my pad :cry:
