So Bruce has retired the Barris Batmobile preferring to use the Batpod as Gotham City roads dept are just not keeping up with the repairs and hitting all those potholes with the soft Lincoln springing is not doing his back any favours.
What to do with it?
Well he ships it off to his cousin Wayne Bruce in Melbourne who modifies it for local conditions.
Turbines are for helicopters and ships - what a man needs is a V8 so nasty they banned it.
And Bat computer? nah. Computers are for playing games and looking at naked chicks. All you need in the boot is the battery.
And of course we'll need to put the steering on the correct side, remove the Batphone to save weight and where would we be without an ashtray and a skull shift knob.

I dig it Zen. It's definitely got your touch. The Dark Knight Returns print is a nice touch too.

Craig - It is THE definitive Batmobile. The one 96% of people think of when they hear the name*. Accept no substitute.
Dom - Thanks. If you can't have a laugh doing it then I don't want to do it.
* remembering that 87% of statistics are made up on the spot.
