    Nov 98 Auto Show IronMan...

    Looky what i found some photos of the IronMan VX shown at the November, 1998 - San Fransisco International Auto Show

    Some fancy white Borbets... neat & tacky at the same time.

    Do you think that was the pace car used in the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon?

    This VX was actually used as the lead pace/clock vehicle at Ironman races when Isuzu was the title sponsor. Saw it at Ironman California along with about 20 other VX's that were displayed in the athlete village and around the finish area.

    Looks funny, like it is too fat around the headlights. Anyone else think so too?

    They say the camera adds 10 lbs...but, I wouldn't tell "her" that!

    Makes me think one thing:

    Maybe they used a wide angle lens to take that pic??

    After going outside and comparing to real-life I think the reason it looks funny to me is that the weird painting behind the headlights hides the turn signals. My eye, at least, seems to cue off them so when it is hard to see (or absent like on the japanese model) it really changes my perception. Weird huh?

    That's exactly what I was thinking. The turn signals tell you where the sides start and the front ends. With the red wings, it appears to flatten out the face. The curves on the fenders are camouflaged as well.
