Photos of that car turned up in an automotive forum that I moderate.

I'll admit that it's a cruel thing to do to a car, but as a rolling attention getter for a guy that has a company that makes movie props, it is pretty good advertising.

*penny drops*

So that is why he chopped up his poor defenceless little car.

And here I was thinking "what a hideously expensive hobby"

Makes more sense if you put it on the company books under "advertising".

I can't find the link to his home page at the moment, but here's the link to the April 2004 edition of Wired that features the car.

Cool! Thanks very much.

I like the Mini-ITX reference as well. Case/Car modding at the same time.

At least his saki-burner doesn't make him look like a rice-boy. 8)

Erm, apparently he is married.

His wife bought him the licence plate...

Hey, I saw that car! I was down in LA working on a film project, and Shawn came by once in a while to help out. The car is a little less impressive up-close (it's not shiny, darn it!), and Shawn insists he's not an SF-geek, but still... it's cool. :) Plus he said he's planning to get some servos into R2-D2 so he'll swivel his head around appropriately, and emit the proper beeps and boops. You just gotta respect that.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

He's not an SF geek? Yeah. Right. I believe him. 8)

The car would look Very Cool if it was polished a little.

(I was trying to work out how you found my journal. Oh yeah: RHjr. 8)

Yup, that's the place. Who says good can't come from cranky, obnoxious evil? Well, probably no one, but they should say that. It's cool, and would fit on a bumper sticker.
