A beautiful (if pricy) creation, but I was especially fascinated by the use of Herman Miller's Aeron chairs as the basis for the seats. I'm sitting in one of those chairs right now at work, and they really are comfy. A very neat design idea.

Headlight bucket needs some finish work but a classic and never tiring design

Love the car and the 50's styling, but why don't the head rests line up with the seat center lines?

Well, according to him, the car <span style="text-decoration: underline">IS</span> a learning experience!

OR, could be for people who's head isn't in the right place.

The powder coated Jag valve covers are interesting!

It's an interesting blend of mostly MB with some Jag cues thrown in. I do really like the looks of the engine...very pretty!

If I specify a more upmarket interior, can I get an Eames lounge chair in there?

Regarding the styling, it looks more like a "50's generic sports racer", the sort of thing a kid back then would come up with when told to draw a racing car. I bet if you paint it that pale BRG that Aston used, it looks like an Aston. Orangey-red and it's a Maserati. Silver, as we see, makes you think of Mercedes. White with blue stripes and you can say it's a Cunningham.

Personally, I think the styling is the worst part. It's too long, at least in proportion to the wheel size. The fenders swoop up and down over the wheels too much. The grille looks like someone pursing their lips in distaste. It's just too exaggerated, rather like the old Panther Kallista or those weird Mercedes SSK reps that use VW running gear and never look quite right.

FINALLY! A car designed for me!

If you're cruzin' and leanin' towards the center of the car, your head and the head rests line right up...

Is that like the people who lean way over to the right resting on the center console while driving because they don't know the rear view mirror adjusts?

No. They are propped up talkin' on the cell. Rear view does not calculate, not necessary. It's all about them.
