Alien I like to build cars that are very heavily influenced, but with my own twist on them. My Ghia was the same colour as Roger Gragos, but it was a later car (a '71, not an early '60s), my first bug was what I imagined Greg Aronson would have built if he'd had a '67 not a '63 ragtop, my race car took its colour scheme from Lee Leightons oval (red with gold pinstriping) but had a chopped top, flared rear wings, 13" front wheels etc. I know I couldn't build an exact replica, there would always be something I wouldn't be happy with! :) |
