Gnarly wing tanks there, racer!

I just came back because you tickled my memory with Chaparral. They also built the 2J; remember that? It really sucked. cn

lol, the fan car.. they took the moving aero aids a bit farther then the lotus did with the lotus 78 with the moving side skirts, and came out with the chapparal 2j, a car so fast, it literally blew away the competition.. it was outlawed rather quickly as well.

the delta wing, wtf, lol..

 

[cannabineer]

shit, my bad.. meant this one...

I love the "Le Chemin" treatment. (Can't call a French car an El Camino now; can I?) I'll say the SM was Citroën's second-coolest model. The coolest (and I swear, my shirt auto-tie-dyed at the very thought) must surely be this. cn

Remember Mr. Potatohead's Picasso gag in "Toy Story"?

hey cannabineer, can you name that red car in the pix i put up, the one next to the mb that is??

it looks awfully british to me, like maybe an mg wagon, but the tails and that long front end are throwing me off to say the least.. i see it says gwa on the back, but i've never heard of an gwa before, so idk...
