Guest Reatta1 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Dyno, Shmyno, ----- who cares??? It's a neat picture of the Reatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TommyH Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thought I'd chime in. I think it is in a dyno room. Just mislabeled, or something. The chain is probably attached to some hooks or something, and they are probably for towing th car around. Ever think of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonlabree Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I guess I stand corrected and bow to the authority on the subject.Funny the plaque says "Wind Tunnel". GM must not be able to tell the difference. And they made 3 copies of it.What dummies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words disappeared when I cleaned up the photo. Disappeared?? Maybe the car is in a transporter room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike_s Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 If you look at the original Reatta photo near the drivers headlight there's a image or reflection of what looks like the disk shaped forward section of a Constitution class starship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Squire Tom Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 the room is either a paint drying oven at Earl Scheib's . look at the reflected light, or maybe the star ship is passing into light speed and they don't want thr Reatta to fall into a black hole , ergo the chains and rollers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
