That Vector W2 looks wonderful!

Say Butch, do you like the Jaguar XJ13?
There's already a XJ13 made for High Stakes which you can find here

Yes I know, but the proportions of the car are somewhat wrong.

Butch  -> You haven't dissapointed anyone. Those cars you've mentioned are absolutely amazing, especially the XP Mantis, Boomerang, Carabo, Berlinetta Speciale and the A98.

Anyway, I'm looking forward for the Vector W2!

You modelled a innocenti trimmed and tuned by De Tomaso.

In what way do you get more excited about that?

Maybe because it was my first car.
On the little roads of the Vercors mountain 30 years ago, you would be also excited, or terribly scared.

I'm in mourning, I saw the last Jaguar.

Butch

Please keep in mind it's WIP.
Seats and other details still missing and the car haven't seen FCE finish.

I can imagine that was a memorable trip.
It wouldn't even bother me if I had to go there with a ugly mainstream car.

The road looks narrow, can you expect oncoming traffic? I wouldn't wanna drive there with your ufo cars.

Today the road is closed.

It was a crazy play field for mini cooper S, innocenti detomaso turbo, abarth A112 ....
There, drifting means the end of the trip. Even the GTIs, like Golf or 205, didn't feel comfortable and my little yoghurt pot turbo humiliated a BMW M3 on this road.
The poor guy vomited at the top. I was young and stupid.
About traffic with was very poor, most of the time you can see far from you and there are headlights in tunnels, and the acoustic was very good.

Sometime, after a serious rain, I took my car only for the pleasure to drive under a waterfall.

The car still haven't seen FCE finish. I have to see one or two details (body too much high, rims, colors ...).
The next step will be the showroom, just before the release.

It looks good Butch! Great job!

I also just found out you modelled a Peugeot Oxia.

Butch

Thank you and about the Oxia, yes, I did.

To have that on Vercors mountain, would be a dream come true.

Let's dream smaller and enjoy it in nfs4 on Rocky pass.

The 'Jota' may be better, but the looks of the '66 Miura are much better i.m.o.
