Kaege - a work of genius or rather vile?

Post by gridgway »

The trouble is that I sometimes struggle, I think it's pretty ghastly, but does that make it a work of genius?...

TBH I'm getting rather tired of these high-end Singer-esque conversions... They're all four-wheeled financial pissing contests.

I agree entirely.

The one thing they have done 75% well is making the 964 sill line look early, and the rear bumper looks half sensible too. I am not sure why they did not put the mock torsion bar cover in to complete the deception, but then maybe they did not want to make a convincing rep. Who knows

Is it Graham?!!!

I am clearly behind the times, not doing my research, acting on instinct and getting it wrong.

Heck, that’s my life right there!

I suppose the same points apply though. It is trying to look like something it is not, but falling short on something really obvious that would have 99% of people convinced

Depends how deep you are into the bottle :lol:

I was going on looks only and having looked at the website properly I can see it says 993. But to be honest, as a 964 owner I struggle to see the difference in the roofline with that dress on!

Cheers!!

Hideous and then some! :pukeright: ......but then I'm not a Singer fan either!

I'd much rather have a real Porsche.
