I don't like it...

I like some of the details, but not the overall look. I like the brake disks myself.

To me it seems like the whole "Bung on some gears, and paint copper" thing, which doesn't really work for me. The car itself just isn't steampunk in the slightest, in my eyes at least.

Hmm I think the problem with it is that while it has the cog pattern &c. the original silver still has been left there. More importantly though the actual shape of the thing doesn't realy suit the design they're going for...or perhaps it does and they're just aiming for a very different sensibility to my own... I think all it needs are some subtle changes to the lines of the body itself and it would be passable, but as it stands, it just gives me the impression of a neo-90's/80's bling-mobile.....
