I agree with the Tucker.... Ahead of it's time, but run by a bunch of scam artists. ;-) And sadly beaten into the ground by the big boys.

BTW, that Bugatti..... one ugly car!

It would be a Buick, don't laugh. Buick Grand National and the A3000 Tower would be the GNX version. No one knows what to make of this car during the 80's., but it's fast and could be change to super car with a few mods. The groups that use this car are just like the Amiga people, they never give up and on there sites, they show 7 seconds buicks and 200 mph ones that ESPN broadcast. One more thing it was done with V6 engine and auto tranny. They did the most with very little.

PCs are 10 ton SUVs that overheat when the airconditioning is turned on.
Macs are fancy sports cars that are all show and no go.
Amigas are pedal-powered gyrocopters flying above a world full of traffic jams.

Let everyone else worry about the rat race, let's just fly off and do our own thing.

Hi,

This is my first post. I´ve checked this thread out because I´m a car fan also.
Amigas for me looks like Tuckers. They were fast, inovative, simple, beautiful and were ten years ahead of their time.
Tucker Motor company also went bankrupt and left lots of fans. Sounds quite familiar...

Well I'm an Amigan who proudly drove around in the cursed/doomed Austin Allegro.



Prehaps there is a connection
