Title: and while we are at it discussing beautifull callookers: john ercse's car!!! Post by: nicolas on April 14, 2007, 20:09:50 pm this is a car that i personnally like very much, can't really say why... because of it i now love 8 spokes and somehow if i wanted to build a cal-lookcar it could look like this one. to me it has a great feel about it
does anyone know more about it or has more pictures? i really like to see more of it. and sorry that the picture is a bit shacky, but you try taking a picture of such a nice car and a man like bill schwimmer and not being nervous ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: and while we are at it discussing beautifull callookers: john ercse's car!!! Post by: Sarge on April 14, 2007, 21:41:02 pm John's car is definetly a cool reminder of how things used to be back it the day. Now that I've finally moved up to the "digital" age, I'll try and snap some pics next time he comes around. For what it's worth, Bill makes me nervous too ;) ;D
