I usually save them to my desktop first then repost. I've had much better luck that way.

That's the exact Corvette I was referring to in the previous thread.  We were contacted early on to help tool it and declined.  Similar concepts with the 300SL on a newer SLK and a couple of others.  None of which ever took off.

It's pretty.  And the photos on their site are even prettier.

But, I think an original 356 or a replica that looks like an original is prettier still.  If I had the bucks, I would buy one of the replicas, or I would buy an Aston Martin.  For me, there is not a better looking car than an Aston Martin.

For that matter, I would buy a new Cayman over a new Starke/used Boxster.

Agreed, me too.

But, it's a revolution! Not.

I'll take a YUGO, a case of Corona MINIS, a pastrami sandwich, and a COLON BLOW chaser

A "Starke" unveiling?  

This Friday?

10AM????????

Be still, my heart!

I think that unveiling was a year ago at SEMA.

And was apparently the last public sighting of one.  I'm not as cynical about this as some of you, as I understand how some would be attracted to the idea.  I do think that the cost is high enough to make the market too small to be a viable business.

Just because I know you all love to hear Starke updates, I just saw this pass through my social media feeds. Built for what I believe is a client in Italy. 

I have to admit that I kinda like the look - certainly like the color - but as I said above, the cost just isn’t right.

Aint NOTHING RIGHT....PERIOD!

Again, while out of my price reach, I think it looks great. I really hope they find a market and can make a go of it.

Is the red one there first client?

The Starke Facebook post said it was one of their first production cars. So maybe the first maybe not the first.
