Exactly my thoughts.
This is my favorite RWB, 'Tommy', smooth widebody. Just perfect IMO.

I'm confused. Is this the company that supplies Nakai san with his parts?

No, VAD was one of the first to have a RWB car made for them in the UK. Now the controversy is that they used his RWB car to make their own replica, which they of course say is not true. Its basically who you believe.

I think the original RWB idea/mentality is cool and those cars look business IMHO.

But these knock off kits have no soul and they look like crap...

The good thing in all this is that most people who buy body kits like that drive much newer cars. So the air cooled breed is safe from all that crap, I think.

Why is that? The guy in Japan didn't invent big flares or boxed rockers.

I misunderstood then-I thought you were referring to any attorney that hypothetically be hired by RWB. This sentiment that his cars' designs were pilfered boggles my mind.

It merely shows "That Man and God Can make Mistakes",

My 2 cents,

I must e perfect with that highly developed, tested and functional rear... what is that, spoiler, wing, coffee table?

The fugliness of this designs could be debatable. Their rice-worthiness in every sense of the word is absolute. This is what adults with money do, I guess, when they see all the "cool" Civics and "stance" crowd contraptions but their status doesn't allow them to own one.
