My Geyser car has gotten a lot of positive feedback. There were some guys at the last Coffee and Cars here in Vancouver who came up to tell me that they though the colour in photos was off putting, but that changed when they saw it in the flesh. You really need to see these cars live to appreciate them.

I still have yet to see the car in Graphite, so I'm still in the hunt.
