Welcome back to another lively episode of What Am I?, the only DT feature where everybody wins every time. This week, you are looking at a photograph that has been filtered with an artistic brush in my favorite free image editing software (paint.net) because...well...you know...I'm not going to shell out actual money for a real software editing tool. 
Commenting Commandments:
I. Thou Shalt Not write anything your mother would not appreciate reading.
II. Thou Shalt Not post as anonymous unless you are posting from mobile and have technical issues. Use name/url when posting and pick something Urazmus B Jokin, Ben Dover. Sir Edmund Hillary Clint Eastwood...it don't matter. Just pick a nom de plume and stick with it.
III. Honor thy own links by using <a href ="http://www.linkgoeshere"> description of your link </a>
IV. Remember the formatting tricks <i>italics</i> and <b> bold </b>
V. Thou Shalt Not commit spam.

blank - a crazy robotic convertible top hatch? - a flip-up headlight? - (which, incidentally, was the answer to our extended brainfart the other day, boss)
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of car???...racecar...something LeMans ish.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the route from the Shire to Mordor or something.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fastest route to Bulgaria from Syria.
Maybe this is too hard. Here is the original picture. [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kiREJdiyW50/VpyN6a9_2dI/AAAAAAAAsyg/pAM4KywsdJ8/s400/3.jpg[/img]

The line doesn't continue down, or I would agree with you.
DeleteContinue down?

Sure looks the same to me
It is not a Marcos GT, although I agree the front part of the door looks similar.
ReplyDeletenot a GT... not a TS500 or Marcasite either... could be a Mantaray, Mantis or GTS, but i'll go with Mantula
DeleteA Lotus Elan from an angle I'm not used to. I can't remember sitting on the ground next to one, but the photos on the internet sure look like it.
ReplyDeleteAn s2 or s3 I guess.
i think you're right - here's an S2, although i think the corners may be too square

is the vertical seam too straight on this S3?

Hi Kaibeezy. Thanks for these S2/S3/S4 photos. They made me wonder once again, what was Chapman thinking when he evolved to the square wheel openings?
DeleteHugh -- great job! This is an S3 Elan, here on eBay bidding for $17k with a few days to go. -Vince
