Title: Ever see one of These????? (car)
Post by: FieroBUZZ on July 26, 2003, 08:11:39 am
Nick isn't allowed to play this one  ;D

Going into Ikea and I see this beast (all black) coming at me.  I say to Adam...'look at that 'lalalalala', I've never seen one 'live' before'.  He says 'it's scary just that I even knew what it was'.  I said 'Hey, I'm a car guy'.

Of course I can't tell the difference between a new Toyota or Nissan anymore.

Hehe, I forgot this was here.

It's a Tatra 603.  The Czechs made them from the late 50's to 1974.  They were once kind of a 'state official's' car, pretty much handmade.  Suposed to be great at high speed rough road cruising.

Has a rear mounted V-8 engine which is air cooled.

I had been just reading about one in a Brit magazine and this one popped up out of nowhere.  Definitely strange but pretty cool.
