.45MAN, didn't you have one at one time? I remember, and yes, they were really cool.
I definitely liked the Corvette-esque styling.
And the minis? I used to own a copy of the *original* "Italian Job" with Michael Caine. Every time I see one of the new ones I'm curious as to their handling. With a low, wide profile I'm sure they are really fun to drive - most of the write-ups give them high marks for that.
