OK, so I'm _far_ behind on my digests, and everyone's probably sick of this
thread already, but I have to mention this one- while in Barcelona earlier
this month, I spotted a Maserati Biturbo- at least, that's what I thought
it was, when seen head-on. It was actually a four-headlight Coupe GT with a
Maser grill. From about 50 metres away, it looked very convincing indeed...

PS _the_ car customizing thing here is to fit a GRP kit widening your
wheelarches for mega-wheels, and then keep the original 5Jx13 steel wheels
with the bicycle tyres, preferably with the ugliest $10-a-set plastic wheel
trims (preferably non-matching) you can find.
And how about those skull-shaped tyre valve caps, door lock pins and gear
knobs from the latest D&W catalogue?

     Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.
