Quote - Eric - this came about when I saw the trailer for the new film -  adverts are often more fun and creative than the programmes :)

While looking for source photos I did come across the original green - was it Frankeinsten? -car. If I could a find a suitable body I'd give it a try.

re- the orginal - that was definately Wacky Racers for grown ups! 
The remake isn't out here yet but I bet they've removed some of the more non PC stuff - like the 
exploding babys and the old people - that made the original cheesily watchable.

Actually they have completely changed the premise of the movie. In this new version the racers are all prisoners who race against each other. The winner gets to go free. Or something like that I haven't seen it. They don't score points for running over innocent civilians :)

The car was green, with teeth along the front. The driver was Frankenstein, played by David Carradine. Oh yah I checked and Satlone played "Machine Gun" Joe Viterbo.
