      These are two really creative guys. I would have loved to have seen this sculpture. Makes a lot of installations look lame.

        Obsessive compulsive over your vehicle? Somehow it's hard for me to get that way over my Toyota Tundra plain Jane, but if you need new digs for that beauty you own then check out the Maserati garage design competition.

              My favorite:

              1950 Kleinschnittger designed within a few months an almost entirely new vehicle, the 125 F Whose body was not made of steel, but aluminum, and was placed on a light single-beam frame. Thanks to this choice of materials and construction, it weighed only 170 kg. The small car was a one-cylinder two-stroke engine with 122 cc of the ILO-engine. With (last) 6 hp peak power the car reached a top speed of 70 km / h. The front engine was installed and the fuel consumption was just under 3 liters per 100 km. The car had a column shift, but not a reverse gear because he was so light that it could be lifted simple for turning. Place was for two adults. The Kleinschnittger had no doors and the side walls were like a sports car cut far he had only a soft top.

                Well I think this a a very attractive design. I'd boot the mini out and put my studio in it 👿

                        Design and Craftsmanship.
                        It is probably fitting to acknowledge that it has been a part of the human condition forever.

                            Hunting Lions was the King's sport, analogous with protecting and keeping his people safe.
