SOLVED: Djetset #42 - Blow Fish Ford-based special
« on: February 10, 2009, 04:56:12 PM »
Warning, before you look at the mystery car image below, please make sure that no young children can see your PC screen as this car is so ugly it might give them nightmares!   So, for one point what is this ugly brut?

Is it covered in suede??
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I think that might just be a Hollywood-style special effect (not added by me, hasten to add).  Ordinarilly suede was not on the option list I believe!

I've seen the exact picture on another site, where the poster was trying to determine the origins of this car.

And on this site are other pictures of the car, without this blue layer which seems computer added, but still no identification.

The car looks better naked, and yes; it is from the USA.

This car is nicknamed "Blowfish special" and it's Ford-based. I don't know if that's the real name.

Wow, over one year on and PJ has got it.  Well done!  Blow Fish is the only name I have ever seen for this car too.  I'm glad it's now out of here, so that we can all look at other more attractive machinery.  Well done again PJ. ;D

In this case, a car named for a fish actually looks like its namesake.
