Now that's my kind of furniture!
I seem to recall some years ago a guy who was making couches out of
MGB trunks/boots. A search of google.com did not turn up any
references though. Kind of a neat idea, although it's sad to think
of cars being cut up to make couches. My memory is hazy, maybe the
couches were just shaped like MGB boots, and real boots & rear
fenders were not actually used.
Seeing the green race car reminded me that a fellow LBC owner and
former co-worker has started a local company which has acquired the
U.S. rights to make & market the Locost line of kit cars. The
company web site is http://www.championmotorcars.com/
I've never been that keen on Lotus Sevens and the various kits, but
in June I'll be riding in a Westfield Seven from near Manchester, UK
over to Le Mans, France for the 24 hour race, and then back to the
UK. My friend Dave just finished his car. See a picture at

It's got a Ford 2000cc engine with a Cosworth DOHC head and a
turbocharger. Over 200hp in a 1200lb car. Yowzah! I just might
have Seven Fever when I get home. So it's certainly a mixed blessing
that the Locost plant is about one mile from where I sit typing
this...
