1. pretty cool, but looks kind of big and heavy in the photos. That may just be an illusion.
2. is very cool. It reminds me of a McLaren, I think. 3. I LOVE the big healeys. 4. It's OK too.

Nice turn out Dean. What is the last pic, with the wide whitewalls?
I dig the bare metal car on the top pic, Is that developed from a 914? Looks like one I saw a few years ago at cars and coffee Irvine. Does it have a bare metal interior? I can't seem to find my pic of the car. Thanks for posting. Cheers Richard |

Top car looks like an Delorean, M1, Koenigsegg and Miami Vice Testarossa love child. I like the GT40!

I think the Comete is beautiful; I would love to tool around in something like that, the McLaren copy isn't bad looking, and big Healeys always get a second look from me.
The 914 is not my cuppatea.....

  The Healy has been widened, 1 1/2", the Healy owners should be able to tell from the pics. the guy wanted to run bigger wheels but didn't want fender bulge. The Comete is a Ford Flathead car made in France. |

Sometimes people tell you they did something for one reason, when really it was only PART of the reason.
Most common reason to widen the whole car is to gain width in the cockpit area. Gaining the wheel clearance is a nice thing to say (and a great addition) but it was probably not the main reason. angela
