| Hey .spacers Here's a new hovercar for your consideration. It's not based on any specific car, but definitely nods toward those late '60s/early '70s behemoths. It's low. It's wide. It's powerful. It seats one. Seats ONE ??!!??! Yes, it's the (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space, FTX) !

The use of smooth panel (World City roof/hood) parts on the sides works well too. (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Hey, this is really cool! Such a unique and interesting shape- that little smooth cockpit in the middle of that big solid block. It reminds me of the 'Hummer Baby Stroller' on the back page of the Feb 16 and 23 (what's up with that) edition of (...) (21 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The car kind of reminds me of those 70's sci-fi "car of the future" efforts, the sort of cars Syd Mead would design. Cheers, (...) (21 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I've finished kicking myself around the room and I've fixed the two pictures that didn't get downsampled. Now everything is at 640xwhatever and they'll be (...)
