Erm, that's a bit like saying that you couldn't believe how low a double decker bus looks when compared to the Pyrenees, Both Andies are built like, well, The Andes. At a mere 5'11" and a svelte 14 stone, I'm the midget to the left of this shot -



As for the Colani, with the right paint and clothes for the driver it could easily pass for a famous racing car that was regularly victorious in a classic 1970's race series...










I'm sure somebody somewhere loves the Colani. Hello? Is there anybody out there?
