David,

My cousin used to work for the company that built that car. They build most of the prototypes for concept cars. They are located in Fountain Valley, CA. I have a photobook of several others they were working on at the time when he quit.

The red and black Dauer 962's were purchased by a gentleman in Saudi Arabia; after taking delivery of the red one, he decided to get the black as a back-up. There's something quite lucrative about being involved with the Saudi Royal Family.

The 037 Rally is just an awesome car and the last of the truly competitive 2wd rally cars. I've wanted one of the road going homologation versions for years. What a neat car. Wish I had a pic to post.

It's a touch over a half mile North-north-east of Fry's.

The have an amazing toyland in there. They have gone fairly high tech in the last few years but they will build a car for a private individual if you pony up the cash. In the 90s they built 6 'one off' Bentleys for the Sultan of Brunie. (I thought the grill looked like the one on the Mercury Cougar. ) Hey just bring money.

That blue 993 is shweet! But my recent fantasy car is this


Oops! that came out a bit on the smallish side, anyway its a Noble M12 its a "kit" car from the UK, it comes in two pieces, body and drive line, bolt'em together and register it as a home built - very light, very fast
