I did notice one problem with your project, i think you mounted the steering wheel on wrong. Seriously man, it's on the right passenger side. Unless you wanna let your passengers drive this concept is so weird to northern americans.

Also Almost a Ghost the car you show there is also known as the recently launched Signum.

Heh, it'd have been funny if you used a HP eVectra PC in your Vectra as your CarPC . And congrats on the coverage.

GMC ( I think it is ) own Opel ( Mainland EU ) , Vauxhall ( UK ) and Holden ( Ozzieland ) as well as GM in the US.

Dawoo's where based on old floor pans bought by them AFTER Opel / Vauxhall had finished with them. They where otherwise known as the Caverlier and Astra ( B ).

Does that help ?

OT BTW V3 is currently under way - its about %80 done (back end) and its based on my new case concept called CAMM - Cage, Arrays, Module / Modules.... news about that soon - just no pics yet
