Trekies That Have Gone Overboard

I thought this might be an interesting thread, using the attachments (so we don't get broken image links from external hosts) upload your funniest photos you have even taken or found yourself on the web of where you think the fans of Star Trek have taken it too far.

I'll start with an image I found by accident while looking up fan TOS designs. A modern day car painted like a shuttlecraft.

I want one. :D

They could have at least chosen a decent car.

Ah well, I'll wait for the Lotus Elise in Peregrine Fighter guise.

OMG, that's a Toyota Prius painted like a shuttle w00t!

Been googling.

Well, the type 7 shuttle always did look like a beached whale, so sort of makes sense to paint a car that looks (And drives) like one in its paintjob.

Or, if you want a real Star Trek related car, why not go for Patrick Stewards old XJS?

I remember, that you can also download LCARS styles for Firefox and the like.


As for the image above: I know it is not trek, but hopefully there's a Raptor or an SA-32 Thunderbolt, too :lol:

[CrazyFrog1903]

Those look great. I will have to dig through my photo collection now.

I did once see a man on TV that did his whole appartment up like the brig from TNG. Kind of weird in two ways. Why would you do that, and why the Brig of all things? Do you want to live in a (hi-tech) Prison?

There was a guy at my uni who wore a Starfleet DS9/Voy Ensigns tunic around campus. Then again, uni people do weird things. I myself was wearing cavalry boots and a long flying coat with leather gauntlets, so could hardly comment.

Warf Is up on the plate next for a try at a home run to try to win the world series :) ;)

My math teacher fro, grade 7 was totally into all things Trek, TNG mostly...

about the boots: I wear security/combat boots everyday, too. I just cannot stand Adidas or Nike boots. I cannot walk in those...
