Locked for you for 48 hours (Not 24? It's because I'm traveling, and may not be able to monitor your reply until Wednesday)

Its name is a misspelled variation of the character's name.

Post by: Otto Puzzell on May 02, 2010, 06:55:57 AM
No - using "Mork" as part of the name would not be allowed.

Give the name another spin, and then I'm sure the point you'll win.

The caption of the original picture says "Mork from Ork's Car 1980 World of Wheels car show" and after a bit of digging I found that it was called Morque Machine built by Larry Wood of Los Angeles and built by Rod Powell of Salinas, California

Yes! It's the Morque (rhymes with torque) Machine
