Holy guacamole! These guys have some talent!!!
They could work for one of the Italian car design companies, or their prototype builders...
Now we have the choice of buying this one for almost $300,000, or wait a few years and get a used original for that price. Well, most of us don't even pay that much for a house...

That is amazing... I can't even imagine how much that cost or how LONG that took, but yeah, I hope they're getting paid for their skills. I had a really hard time getting all of the pictures, but I did manage to get all of the finished product shots if anyone else out there can't get them to work. I can also send to someone who has webspace to host them as well. I'm completely impressed... Notice the suede leather on the interior, very nice <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />

Ah, nice. I actually considered moving to Malmö (Bunkeflo) while keeping my job in Copenhagen (My GF is from Ystad). I wasn't too sure about the whole transportation thing and housing around Malmö is not exactly cheap anymore, so I kind of dropped the idea again - at least for now.
It would of course allow me to trade my current S4 for a GT and a used BMW 540 and still have money left over to maintain both <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ...

Keep in mind, this is a repro of the "concept" car...so how much will the production keep in tune with said concept? And if it doesn't, then what will this guy have? Not to take away from this guy's work and ability, however, which he obviously has in abundance.

I find the repro of the "concept" car more desirable than the repro of the production model. Production models usually end up looking less dramatic and sharing more parts with the low end model cars...but that's just my opinion
