There was a threatened lawsuit for awhile.
So.....Peugot threatens Porsche on the 901 designation, they cave....911 is born. Renault threatens MG and nutin happens?

Oi....Brits have bigger oysters.......;)

I thought Norbert would be a fitting name...

M.D. Holloway 07-08-2013 08:45 PM

Why, thank you! :)

Shaun @ Tru6 07-09-2013 05:56 AM
Agreed! what did you use? Photoshop?

herr_oberst 07-09-2013 05:58 AM
Photoshop. Tripled up the base layer and added a few attributes (multiply and overlay) to get the shadows from the trees and panel gaps to show through

I'll concede that Doug is a better name for it than Charlie.

And the story flowers for Algernon was better than the movie Charly although Robertson did a decent portrayal.
Unfortunately his performance could not overcome the cheap, stereotypical 70's hip Hollywood styling and effects common at that time in movie history.
Ravi Shakner, really?

Tabs, mother says give me back my log-in name.









Ok, maybe a little but I do not drink to excess.

Ever be searching on google images, and see an image from some website long copied and moved around without any context, and it just defies any and all explanation?

This is how those images are born.

It is a "cute " car, but expected to see a propeller on the back. Reminded me of the Amphicar.

I'm most impressed with the perspective, well done.
