To Catch a Thief...
you'd better have a fast police car, when you're chasing "The Cat" up a twisty mountain road. Especially when he's riding in the sporty 1953 Sunbeam Alpine sportscar, driven by the lovely Francie Stevens (Grace Kelly). In Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 suspense thriller, "To Catch a Thief", starring Kelly, and Cary Grant as John Robie, The Cat, this sweet ride was used in a mountain chase scene in the French Riviera.

Tiggerypum’s clothing tutorials, and all the great resources on MTS2 to help learn about making quality custom content. I learned a great deal from these about using Milkshape, and meshing in general.

The GIMP SimPE Known Issue: The driver's hands sink into the steering wheel a bit. This is because the Alpine's steering wheel is bigger than a modern one, and I don't know how to fix this.
Comments:
This contest prompted me to venture into a new area. I'd never tried a car before. I had loads of fun, and learned a lot. There were many false starts and redos, but in the end I'm pretty excited about how this turned out. I hope you have fun with it.
Feel free to recolor, and to share with proper credit.
