If you're going to post that awesome picture, at least use the giant desktop-size one.



My larger pictures all have the "L" before .jpg in the imgur url, so check because a few of those are loving MONSTROUS.

It's way more likely he's just rocking one of Jim Shine's plates.

I want every single one of those on a wall in my future dream garage.

Oops, you're right. The '1' is different from the movie. Maybe an ebay plate, then?

Yeah i hosed that up. The guy who built the van is Travis Bell, and he makes those license plates. Also, he (and Jim Shine) were the guys who found and restored "Lee 1"

Here's a video of Travis describing the origins of the Cannonball Run.

HEY!

(When I got back out there were half a dozen people taking pictures. All confused.)

The only issue with that and it might not be an issue is oiling for the motor.



The redneck kids at my high school would park their trucks on the parking lot snow pile like this sometimes, so we'd park our cars behind theirs and then all pile into one car for lunch. I'm amazed this never backfired in any way.

(NASCAR fans will get this one)

Gold/black Trans-Am owners are funny. Our Starsky Torino owner runs into them all the time at Cars and Coffee and classic shows, and they are, more often than not, incredibly upset by the fact that some people recognize their car from Smokey and the Bandit. There's a stock DeLorean guy that has come to a few of our events, but he blows his lid every time over people making BTTF comments, which is understandable. I believe his gripe would be 100% legitimate, if it weren't for the fact that his license plate reads 882FUTR.

I've only seen on "Doc" that was a two-door, but four-door versions seem pretty common. This guy was at our big show last summer.

travisray2004 posted:

gently caress. This is almost perfect but there's a couple errors I've noticed. The A-Team van is listed as a 94 instead of 83 and the Kill Bill Pussy Wagon is listed and illustrated as a GMT800 Silverado instead of a GMT400 C/K.

I still want this bad.

Minority Report is set in 2054, but the Lexus is listed as 2002, maybe he's citing the concept they made for the film? The A-Team van is actually colored gray-red-black instead of just black and red, and it looks like this one has windows. KITTs wheels are wrong, and I think the body type is off, too. The 3/4 view of the 32 Deuce and the Ford Fordor kind of offset the theme. The Mystery Machine is listed as a 1963 Econoline, but the image is that of an 80s van. Colors of the new Italian Job Mini are off. Vanishing Point Challenger is gray instead of white.

But 70 vectors must have taken a ton of effort and $40 for a print that size, even with minor errors, is pretty drat good.

e:f;b by a lot of those.
