If it has an engine and you think it's cool...

I always loved the Beech Bonanza

The Bensen Gyrocopter - Hey, if it was cool enough for James Bond...:D

The Rotorway Scorpion II. Build it in your garage and take to the sky! I still have the plans package to this somewhere.

And of course the venerable and ultra-cool Pitts Special. I have the build prints for this too.

I quite liked the round headlight ones too,...

after this,...although I'm sure drivelines improved the updated designs suffered. I'm not a big fan of the new ones at all.

The Lancia Delta Intagrale is a sexy car. (do you detect a theme?)

I'm also pretty much a sucker for Gen 1 and Gen 2 Subaru Leones (known as the Loyale or more commonly,...by it's trim level [GL,DL] in the states).

Thanks for the preview. The Geneva Autoshow takes place at the Arena, 200 feet from my office. :hyper::hyper::hyper:

Is there a bass player who has not looked upon her with lust in his heart?

An E-type jag modified into a hearse, from the movie "Harold and Maude".

If you haven't seen it, rent and watch that movie. Hilariously funny, very dark movie.
Not a movie to watch with small kids, though.

Which is, by the way, a very dark comedy, absolutely hilarious.
If you haven't seen it, consider it a "must see soon". In fact, consider this tip as grateful payback for the insights and help you've provided on old Tobias basses.

Seriously. I loved that car so much I turned the movie off when it went off the cliff. Still to this day have not seen that whole movie.

Because we all thought "hot dang woot, it's an E-type AND it has room for the bass cab!"
