tasteless piece of high-dolar trash


Are the Ring Brothers the worse thing that has happened to street machines in the last ten years? I'm seriously starting to think it. Ugh.

The Pacer on the other side... awesome.
 
something a bit different for a rod.

If I recall there were brothers with two of them!

I presume you were talking about the taz racing fiat? Theres a few Taz cars. I found this pic which shows there line-up. Also added 2 pics of the orange Fiat. Pretty much exactly the same as the red one engine wise.

They mention the blue one on the website. They got that one and the red one when the team 1st started. There website has a pic of the blue one in the workshop. But it doesn't look like the webpage has been updated for a while. So it may be out and about again. And the orange ones Taz number is 002. So maybe it was repainted orange.

Did you ever hear the story of why the rear wheel openings look so messed up on that car compared to the rest of it? His cars were as much show as go always beautiful and fast
