    Default A British Biodiesel Supercar

    Not bad, pretty ugly though.


    This sleek machine is being hailed as the future of high-performance, eco-friendly motoring. With an engine that runs on pure biodiesel, the Trident Iceni can do 2,000 miles on one tank of fuel - enough for a return trip to Venice from London. Capable of topping 200mph, the car has been designed and manufactured by Phil Bevan, of Norwich-based firm Trident Performance Vehicles.

    Hope Panoz sues the pants off the guy who designed that. When I first saw the pic I thought "Esperante? Oh...I guess it is SORTA different."

    Ahh never mind.

    1996 Hyundai Tiburon.


    Those are off of an old Mitsuhishi Colt.


    Either way...the car looks cheap because of those badly-done details. I do like the double-bubble though.

    You have to wonder if they were just standing around, preparing to finish up the car, and at the last minute they forgot to add tailights.

    Engineer 1: "Hey! We forgot the tailights!"

    Engineer 2: "Bollocks! What are we going to do?"

    Engineer 1: "Lets take the tailights off Johnson's old Colt!"

    Engineer 2: "...... "

    One-night-stand...end result of an accident, as you can see.

    Two hot parents make ugly children. I see it all the time.
