Something something fiberglass, something something Saab. Amirite?

Almost spot on. The Corvette had a fiberglass body before the Troll ;)

But yes, this IS a Troll car. How awesome is that eh?

Very wrong, but that's ok.

The chassis and engine was from a Gutbrod Superior, the gearbox was a Hurth.

They only made five of them, so afaik it was just Troll.

Please tell me it was called that because the car company started under a bridge somewhere.

We could pretend it was?

Works for me. Now to create enough 'reliable sources' to get it on Wikipedia...

Reliable? pffshh.. I have a wiki account, I could make that happen in a few seconds. I won't though..

davedave1111 > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh 01/09/2014 at 21:46

Oh go on. I've always wanted to create a hoax, and this one's a Troll-hoax for extra irony points.

Sorry to be a party pooper mate, but I won't.. I use that account on a regular basis, correcting everything from errors on combustion engines to errors on the evaporation point of alchohol. I know I may not seem like the smartest bloke out there :P But I'd hate to cock up this wiki thing.

I think you'll find the whole wiki thing is already fairly cocked up. Tell you what, if I can justify including it under Wikipedia's rules, will that do?

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > davedave1111 01/09/2014 at 22:03

0

Yup, that'll do.

Clearly, the world will be a better place once it's true that Troll cars were called that because it was started under a bridge. Since it will become true once we've got it on Wikipedia and then got the information spread around until it appears in a real 'reliable' source, no reasonable person could object to its pre-emptive inclusion on Wikipedia.

If you don't agree, we should attempt to reach a consensus , by inviting the input of other Opponauts.
