OK fellow car spottersb&.Ibm stumped. I know the difference between many
cars, I can even tell the difference between a Lloyd and a Goggomobil.
BUT, Ibm out of knowledge when it comes to this one.
Last week I was crankin it over my favorite hill when I came up behind
this car. The guy was doin a pretty good job of the curves and when he
saw the M3 comin up behind him, he turned up the wick a bit and we had
a good time. As I gained on him, the car appeared to be an Acura and I
didnbt pay much attention. But, as I got close enough, the rear end
didnbt seem quite right. Instead of the usual Acura badging, the name
b Tuscanb stood out. The rear insignia was a cloisonnC) Gothic b Tb with
heavy serifs and an arrow style end on the bottom of the T. The T was
chrome in a black backround in about a 3b round insignia. The car had
dual exhausts, appeared to be front engined and rear drive and looked
like a Japanese hot sport coupe. When I finally passed the car, I noted
that the front end had very wide flat fenders (like an XJS with wide
headlites) and the fenders squeezed toward the front of the car so that
the hood was very narrow at the front and the grille which was just
below the hood, was only about 18b wide and about 4b high. There were
no other markings on the car and it definitely was a production
vehicle, and no, it wasnbt hot-rodded. Nothing quite looked like
anything Ibve seen yet. It was very stock looking, with factory looking
wheels (perhaps 6b or 7b ) and no outrageous spoilers or the like.
SOOOOb&any new ideas for this olde dog?
And no, it wasnbt a TVR Tuscan. I have several TVR cars and am familiar
with the marque.
Still ponderin this oneb&.
