Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Here's a theme I haven't seen and should definitely be done this year.

Titanic theme...

2 car team minimum big_smile (Front half, back half...running more than 2 cars, then the others can be the rescue ships/lifeboats)

It's the 100 year anniversary for the Titanic, someone's got to do it.

Don't forget the Iceberg.  I'm thinking there should be a GOPBF card for any Titanic driver who makes contact with the Iceberg...

Or they should receive the dreaded "Draw me like one of your French girls" penalty, which will be exactly like the Bob Ross penalty except you have to draw a topless teammate rather than a happy little tree.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Titanic theme has been done.

How about a "totally innocent" theme with a heavily damaged car with tire marks ALL OVER,....

...a scraped up/dented roof, and smashed panels with recognizable bits of other cars stuck in the damaged area. Then the team dons angel or saints costumes.

Speaking of Saints, how about a "bounty hunter/Gregg Williams" theme with wild west style wanted posters of dominant teams plastered all over?

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Has there been a team entered as "The Odyssey" yet?

I'm thinking a Cyclops, a six-headed monster and a mannequin lashed to the mast?

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Ok... I just finished my first Lemons and I'm already scheming on building car #2.

Of course, all good builds should be based around a theme- the mechanical bits will fall into(and consequently, out of) place later...

Car: 1984 VW RABBIT GTI*
Theme: RIDE OF THE VOLKYRIES
Premise: Pretty much just a 1984 VW GTI with obscenely rigged up sound system that plays Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" in continuous loop.
Bonus if: I could recruit 4 women to do this with. (Valkyries are women)
* this theme can also work on a Volvo as "Ride of the Volvkyries"

Instant glory or inevitable peoples' curse?

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

The Autogenous Zone.  A little of this:

Mixed with some "pornography" for the automotive set, ideally in full-color glossy magazines to present to the judges -

Of course you'd have to provide some articles for your autogenous zone magazines...

And for the car, you'd have to go with the most double entendre of car models... perhaps the Pinto?  Or a Pontiac G3/4/5/6 called the G-Spot?

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Have you guys seen the Mazda CX-5 "Better, Stronger, Smarter" commercial?

http://youtu.be/vVcJRHWs7LM

Someone ought to build whatever that bitsa crossover is they are testing in the beginning. The tailgate looks like its from a Ford Aerostar, I think I'm seeing some Rav4 and some Trooper II in there, but the rear door looks like it is meant to slide, no?

Anyway, someone ought to build and race that thing.
