I was in Whitby a few days ago, and was idly pondering to myself what sort of car Dracula might have. Or, failing that, one of the better-heeled goths that gather there twice a year.

The first thing that came to mind was an Audi RS6+ Avant in black with chrome roof rails, which would be suitably hearse-like, but it's not really the height of Gothic. After a few minutes thought I decided that only one car will do really, it has to be a Tuscan.

Suitably inspired by some comedy stick on teeth ( www.autoxpressions.com - coming to a QVC channel and tarted up Nova 1.1 near you soon! ) I felt a sudden urge (as one does) to whip Photoshop out and have a quick play. So here is the result (alas with only 2D teeth, the 3D ones will have to wait a while). The Tuscan-V (for Vampire of course), with apologies to TVR...



Any donations for a black Tuscan with scarlet silk headlining, silver gearknob and custom paintwork would be gratefully accepted...

I want to see the smiley teeth on a Chimaera but I'm useless with Photoshop.

It looks like a modern take on a big Healey or maybe a 1950s racer. Kinda proves that a good design is a good design even when its walloped with a Photoshop shaped hammer!

Photoshop in the right hands is wonderful isn't it?

The big toothy one reminds me of the scene in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" where the Jessica-Rabbit-from-behind-lookalike turns round...

Thanks all. I thought it had a flavour of Roger Rabbit 'toon' about it as well! Just a lucky strike I assure you
