Beautifully done with impeccable workmanship and engineering!  But...do you guys find something morally wrong with it as I do?  Guess I'm just a sick purist.

Darryl what do you think? ....

What does Rob think?   ::)

I don't have any use for it but I'm sure others enjoy it and that's fine with me.

I can appreciate it for what it is and the engineering is absolutely brilliant.  An oilhead as a retro R7 clone.  It's fantastic.  Who says that art has to be oil & canvas?

You know what I think, Ed (you coy dog).

I think it is a waste of $100,000 - especially when it has no chance of stopping.  I wonder how it handles?
