Yes european cars has also started on this... The Audi TT, (which I took my license in) for example. I might be a boring guy but I have always liked lines that flows well. Like greek architecture - there seem to be a predecided relation of the lines in a design. If you break the lines in some way the design is lost. Take the 80yish custom trick to mold square headlights on to beetles. Talk about breaking the lines, and in retroperspective those cars look like crap as well. But I should keep my mouth shut as I plan T4 and mods far from stock for the 66 pigalle car.. --- Jim Adney <jadney@vwtype3.org> skrev: > On 1 Nov 2004 at 18:18, Jon Remers wrote: > > > A chopped car looks strange in a similar way as > the > > waistline will be way too tall in comparison with > the > > roof.
