Title: Homemade TurboGrafx LT

Linky (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item4ab508c41a&item=320864830490&nma=true&pt=Video_Games&rt=nc&si=Di19%252FJ4CNOD2mT14d%252FsuoxQ3ZJ0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc)

Steampunk-ish style! Rather clunky and not exactly gonna fit in your pocket (assuming you're not wearing parachute pants), but it's still damned cool. Did anyone here make or buy this thing?

Someone was showing this in shoutbox when it was still an active auction. I thought they linked to the guy who made it's site.

He had a Jeep , all wood.

Was pretty awesome, but seemed like a bad idea to drive around lol

LMAO, yeah not a great idea. Let's hope he never thought to make a Camero: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/off-topic/113720-new-camaro-recalled-fire-hazard.html
