Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Not a very recognizable theme for the car itself, but wear the costumes all weekend and blast the song nonstop, Nyancar-style.

Obvious dustbuster van theme is obvious.

When you add supercharged 3800 power, it becomes the James GTi.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Don't know if this one has been suggested:

http://www.volocars.com/galleria_images/972/972_main_f.jpg

It's the "Coyote" from the 70's show Hardcastle and McCormick. Originally based on a kit on an Opel Manta, later a modified DeLoerean.

Momentum is a terrible thing to waste.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but a dustbuster (Silhouette/Lumina/Transport) minivan would be a good candidate for an Imperial Shuttle theme.  At tech you could reenact the scene where the Emperor arrives at the Death Star: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxw5WPRzUOE

the dustbuster van also makes an excellent space shuttle, that and a dustbuster, if silhoutte you also get to do a get shorty theme.  Bonneville  racer theme, pretty sure it will work for many futuristic vehicle things too from various cartoons and movies.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

With cleverly applied paint (black out the rear quarter panels?), do you think a dustbuster could be made into a passable tribute to The Brown Hornet?

Could be done with any car, as long as it was over the top.

I take it you haven't seen a Dodge Dakota R/T hammer down on an autocross track.

Play (blare?) it from a PT Cruiser, in order to compete against the Nyan Car. The PT Cruiser would have Slant Six power, because that's just what you do with a Chrysler product.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Has anyone done a Wilhelm Reich/Orgone Theme? Decorate your car to look like a Cloudbuster, preferably using the ridiculous Kate Bush music video as inspiration. Dress the team up like the video for maximum effect. Kate Bush as a boy(?), Donald Sutherland as Wilhelm Reich, and a handful of '40s G-men hauling him away. Over-acted to the max.

Just please don't blast the song nonstop for this one.

Werner Herzog talks about how stupid chickens are.

Tell me there's not a theme possibility there.

Apparently these were built for the movie on air-cooled VW chassis. Go figure.
