And the Rat Car. Very nice indeed. The driver would drop a potato to simulate the poop of the rat as he drove down the road. Very nice.

Pat,thanks so much!!!!!! These are great. The best Art Car I ever saw was on the cover of one of the US magazines a few years back- it was (I think) a 59 Chevy- the owner had taken off the entire body and remounted it on the chassis BACKWARDS so that when you saw it going down the road, it looked like it was backing towards you- at 65 mph. Very cool. I think he got pulled over a lot.
thanks again...made my evening.

I love the extra feature of dropping poop potatos.
Good fun. Some people are nuts. Good laugh.
