Well, it does have a "Premium Sound System." Still, I think I will pass.

I buy lots of Stewart suff but am not going to buy his old car that is far away from me in the U.S. and, well, kindy of crappy looking now in 2009.

Still would be nice to see a Nutter in a Stewart-mobile.

Hmmmmm. Yeah, if it were remotely feasible, I'm imagining some sort of community art program. Like one of these:

I love the subtitle of the car ("CELEBRITY ROCK STAR CAR") and how the seller has provided occasionally artsy photos of the car in multiple environments:

Here's Stewart's car in a gritty alley in daylight.
Here's Stewart's car in a leafy suburban parking lot at dusk.
Here's Stewart's car out of focus.
Here's Stewart's car nearly backed up onto the curb.

Though I do wonder how SC fit in that thing without having to drive w/ his knees. It could just be because of the angles the photos are taken, but even taking into account that the driver's seat isn't pushed back all the way, that car just does not look tall-friendly.

--Ooh! Unless he drove with his head sticking out of the sunroof. That would be cool. Messy, but cool.


Good luck, car-buying nutters!

[quote="Ramuthra"]how can you be sure it was actually stewart's?[/quote]

Hello all, I have viewed the photos and read the description of this CELEBRITY CAR. It certainly looks authentic to me as I spent some time riding to and from polo matches in it. Purchased for it's safety features, as there were infants and small children transported in it, as well as for it's speed and agility on country lanes. Leg room was barely adequate! Cirencester Park polo pass sticker was one of the parks where SC's team Outlandos competed. Have fun bidding!

Crap. I was SOOOOOOO hoping that this was a hoax so that I could feel better about not bidding on this. Crap.

Oh dear. St Jeff's endorsement is going to tip young Smax over the edge for sure.

:shock: :lol: :shock: :lol:

OK, so it was mainly for transporting the kids (remember, HoneyBunny?:))) - wonder if the polo equipment fit in as well...
So kudos to the Man for choosing safety for his kids over leg room!

BTW, European cars in general are not hummongous, because the roads are less spacious and parking is a real pain.

I think I just heard smax weep a little.


[quote="jeffseitz"]It certainly looks authentic to me as I spent some time riding to and from polo matches in it.[/quote]

I now have this picture of this car going absolutely nowhere else but back and forth between home and polo matches. "Jeeves, can you bring 'round the polo car? Ta." "I'd pick up the milk, honey, but I've got the polo car right now." "Love to hit the pub, but you know, polo car."

Now I'm picturing little spiderman figures lost between the seats and cracker crumbs ground into the backseat of the car. Unless, of course, there was a polo car housekeeping staff.

I'm sure that there are many greater wierdnesses to being a rock star, but the notion of having former cars crop up on ebay has been keeping me chuckling today. :D

I got my forest green BMW at Mrs. EQ's insistence after I was involved in a horrible five car pile up. At the time, the BMW I got was the safest car you could buy.
