Yup, switched to Camino, and all works. Better not give my opinion of the car though

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1 and getting the pictures ok.
But, assuming all the gauges work, I would have thought that they would have provided to much distraction to drive safely.

Looks to me like an early prototype for K.I.T.T. (apart from the paint scheme)

Makes my 4 additional gauges look very tidy!

Skoda S110R.
I nealy bought one new in 1976 but used the funds for a deposit on a new bunglow instead.
I've fancied one since but they have virtually dissappeared from UK roads.

Then they tell you to hide your sat-nav in this country
if they parked that in our town centre it would be stripped within 5 minutes

Well 10 out of 10 for effort and originality I suppose.
But as for style..........................................................................

The paint/metalwork at the bottom of the door and A pillar needs some attention. And the left foot rest looks to be too far from the clutch pedal to be really usable on a long journey.
Is it yours?

the dash is the most bizzare I have ever seen. Do you think all those gauges are actually connected to something??

Wow! you don't see many like that.
Personally if I had the time to take half of a 911 shell and fit to another car and add gull wing doors - I probably wouldn't do it to a Skoda. I'd certainly not finish it with a ferrari-style body kit.
certainly worth 10/10 for effort!

That's the gas strut for a gull wing door

Swedish? English? Who would own up to doing that? I know that I do silly things to a minor, but I draw the line somewhere. (I think)
