Please tell Mike I didn't really mean what I said in June of 2002.

I guess. I'm a TV Director of Photography. Entertainment and sports. I do camera and lighting. My wife is a hair and makeup artist so we work with a lot of celebs. Unfortunately, I'm always the poorest guy the room! Just did Mayweather and McGregor's open workouts for Showtime. Floyd showed up with three Rolls drophead convertibles and Conor was driving a lime green Huracan. Must be nice.

Haven't been on the site since I sold my vette, but yesterday I was wasting time on youtube and was watching one of those videos where some yahoo wasted unmeasurable amounts of time, collecting snippets of other videos and making his own with them.

Anyway, this 20 sec clip was focused on the red vette in the foreground, but I spotted the car in the background and immediately thought, "Oh, I hope that ugly assed thing isn't what I think it is".

Anyone know, or know what it is?

Any advice?


I always thought Floyd Mayweather could do better than production cars, even though they are multiples of Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bugatti.


I also have a good design for Lady Gaga to show up at an awards show in. Limos are common and boring. No, it's not a high-heel shoe made into a car.

You keep telling us what great designs you have.

You state you don't want to share your two best designs?

How about posting what you consider number 10 of your top ten designs.

If your going to continue to project yourself as a world class auto designer then show the forum members something truly original.

Unlike the blue concept that you simple took the Grey rendering and move around the different proportions and added wheels to large for the concept and changed the color.

Also you stated that at the GM design team that we start with a photo of a C6 and make changes from there.

Kris that is not how it's done. GM starts with a blank sheet for each new generation.

Looking forward to one of your top ten designs.

Great artist share their work with the world. Otherwise if no one see your designs other than you what is the point?

From what I've seen of wealthy celebrities, buying rare cars is more about showing off rather than having a true love for cars...Jay Leno being the exception. I know Jay has worked with some small companies from time to time to turn some of his dreams into reality.

I think one possible way to get one of your designs developed would be to attract the attention of a financier via social media or directly. To do this, you would have take the risk of someone stealing some of your ideas, but if you truly are a great designer, you have more than a few tricks in your bag, so this shouldn't be a reason not to try.

Good luck and I'd love to see some of your work.
