“what a waste”

I don’t understand the hate on these. When it comes to modifying cars these are more tasteful than a lot of other kits.

Indeed:

Now have they raised the bar on using the grey areas of the rules books, that’s the question.

foiled again!

Mercedes and Ferrari were on the same plane.

I’d say they used the regulations down to the T

It’s impossible to say where the idea Sprouted from

Maybe the copied Mercedes, or maybe they were just winging it.

Imagine what people thought when they saw this back in 1978.

Haha, I had a few kids who worked for me over the summers at a marina who always were driving old 944s and E36 BMWs. They got constant remarks on their cars, but they did all their own work and bought them cheap... it was fun to borrow their cars every time they got a new one, just for a quick spin in something…
