im prett sure its an alfa looking thing. i cant remember the name so i will look it up.

am I mistaken to believe they were called an alcyone elsewhere? or was that just its predecessor?

If somebody asks you, "can I ask you a question?" and you say, "no",  you're actually answering a question. Think about it....

thats what I was thinking of... a vortex... and yeah, a door wedge they certainly are.
but isn't anyone weirded out that the red subbie and the sunbeam alpine both have agent86 number plates? seeings as this thread was started with a subaru svx?
i mean fair cop. Get Smart drove a red sunbeam alpine... but still... I think its weird.

hehehe, yeah its like Stevie Wonder asked for a supra and they gave him this thing.  anyways should find a better one to test people out.. that one is way too rare.  LOL while looking for that i found a replica of a starwars hover jet thing that skywalker uses in the desert, it was a fully leagal ford escort with "body kit" and blue neons to give that floating appearance  :P

hmmm... you are getting kinda close  ???
I think the back is fairly typical of this brand of car, and if you look at the doors they arent your average open and close door.
