Straker's Car Article

Hi all,

A week ago I posted the text of an article about the UFO cars which
someone spotted in the July 2000 issue of "Classic & Sports Car"
magazine. I also ordered this back issue and it just arrived today.
Here is a scan:

Hey, *this* car looks like it's in great shape... well, relative to
the other ones at least... :-)

Hi all,

Following up on the Straker's car article... I forwarded it to a
couple of people, who filled me in on "the rest of the story". Turns
out that this car was not used in UFO (as the article states), but it
is instead the third Doppelganger car, built at the same time as
Fosters & Strakers car by the same people, and featured in the movie
Doppelganger (aka "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun"). Turns out
that the car has already been sold to a new owner, and Jeff Smart
(the maker of the video documentary "The Future Was Fantastic") has
been trying to get in touch with the new owner so he can film it.

Fascinating - really. <blink> I wonder how difficult it would be to
update it and modify it so the doors really worked et cetera?

ROFLMAO!

Yes, Christian, you need a HUGE kerplop cushion - probably several
placed strategically around you.

Since Straker spent time at MIT, his car should have a vanity plate
that reads "IHTFP".
