Nice looking car!!!  :thumbsup:

Would be funny if the car company wasn't called BMW but called VA....  :misbehaving:  :faint: 

It would be the VA GINA!   :smilielol:  :roflsmiley:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

This one is off the topic, kinda..

A few years ago two big european bearing companies were merged together and for some reason they didn't create a combined name from the both companie's original names. A company called FAG was bought by INA  :roflsmiley:

Interesting that the body is made from a flexible skin material and that it's shape can be altered through movable frames underneath.

Very unique. However time will tell if such concepts ever become suitable for production vehicles.

The last service manager I dealt with at BMW was definitely a VA... Oh never mind.  I think they should focus on fixing the problems with their existing technologies before getting too far along with new ones.
