Who's been drawing fanart of my actual car?

[Guest]

Found on a search for some pretty desktop wallpaper. Surprised isn't the word!! I am oddly humbled.http://elstro.deviantart.com/art/Daihat ... t-62401012But also check out the main gallery: http://elstro.deviantart.com/gallery/Ital? Allegro? Nova Saloon? Cavalier MK3? And a photo of my car to accompany the drawing! Madness.I suspect someone here has a secret artistic side, as I can't imagine many other people on the Internet would sit down and draw an Ital - but hey, good on them.

Think you need to look towards R R for the guilty party!

INERESTING. WE GET MOST SHITE HERE..BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN A CHARMANT

My Viva just manages to get into the bottom left corner of that RR07 show shot

I haven't seen a Charmant in years, didn't know there were any left.Is yours really that clean??

[Guest]

Dunno, photo doesn't seem to have been touched up bar some blur effect. It has a few dents in the bonnet and a bit of surface grot on the valance.

 

Look at the state of those valance seams!

 

Nice wonky universal-fit mirror, loser!

 

Although, the interior is pretty nice.

Very nice Mr Hirst . Hope it stays in that condition (or better) for years to come .

 

What's with the 'doilies' over the seats, never seen these in a car before .

[Guest]

Cheers! They're antimacassars, beloved by Japanese taxi drivers and old people. They confuse and annoy people, so I like them.I'm gradually improving the condition of it. In a few months I'm going to get the valance straightened out (it is a little bent on one side) and resprayed and also remove the cricket ball dents in the bonnet. Should be pretty good then!This is a cherished car for me. I've wanted a Charmant for ages. As it isn't worth anything, there isn't any point me selling it. I intend to keep it for many years, possibly forever.

He's actually updated this with pure-shite. His stats say he's only 18 or so. I don't understand!

It will be this young lad here who's been drawing these photos

He really should be on here what with all the old tat he's been snapping.

[Richard]

Maybe he is.

[Guest Leonard Hatred]

I think he was/is a member on the AROnline forum.

Some of those drawings are actually pretty good, but he seems totally incapable of drawing a wheel in the correct shape (round, fyi)

[brammy777]

Drawing round wheels takes time, generally at the angle I normally sketch in it turns out to be oval anyway. I once actually did draw John Dodds 'The Beast' using a ruler and compass and using the correct engineering drawing methods. It took fucking forever.
