RDean58 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Painted Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue with gloss black interior. This was a fun little quick build. The others I'd like to get sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Never seen that one before. It kind of reminds me of the Lotus Elan. Nice color choice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Wow! I dig that Barchetta!! Too bad Fiats got a nasty reputation for unreliablity, otherwise I'd bet that car would do quite well here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDO Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Nice build, and a cool little car. I saw many of these during the 4 years I spent as a soldier stationed in Germany. I thought it would be great to bring one back, but that was never going to happen. I looked into bringing back my 1985 Mercedes 190E (that I bought for $460 in 1998). Converting it to US specs would have cost at least $5,000 in parts, with no gauruntee that it would pass emissions. For that kind of money, I could just buy a 190E in the US. Oh yeah, one other expense; shipping it home. At the time, Uncle Sam would only send a car home for free if they had brought one over for free. They wouldn't send a car across the ocean one time, but they had no problem doing it twice :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
