ok, have you seen it on a car? is there any history behind it? e.g. has Porsche used it before?

john walker's workshop 11-16-2004 03:47 PM

looks like my business card.

mjshira 11-16-2004 03:48 PM

John did you build his car?

Maybe it's a little shot at BMW. They put a graphic like that on their Light Weights.

old time race graphic..it denotes national origin...I told Cris he should try the Phillipine flag colors...he responded that they are red, white, and blue. D-OH on my part...:o

mjshira 11-16-2004 04:13 PM

so is it paint or??

strupgolf 11-16-2004 04:37 PM

Many drivers used their country of origin flag colors as a sign on their cars in the 50's-60's. This was very common on racing cars during that era. Just a thought.

mjshira 11-16-2004 05:01 PM

It says, "I chipped the hell out of the paint on the corner of the hood when I slipped the pull wire for the electrical cutoff switch through, so I decided to celbrate my German heritage by including the national colors!"

Hi James.
