+1, I didn't think that show would make it past the pilot episode.

Showtime has better shows though with weeds and californication.

Lol, as I said above I was just flipping channels and caught a modified Soarer on a current show... not something you see too often.


Here are some pics of it - took in middle of day today and had a lot of light /reflections in the room so they aren't the best.







Beyond the less-than-aggressive wheel fittment not bad. Note the roof antenna.

Bomex front, IDKWTF sides, a retro version of the IS300 headlights, BMW grills stuck on the fenders (those aren't the one's that are blended in, they stick on).

Interesting find Captain, and good eye.
