yes, thanks, really thanks
could be possible to put this in one of binary groups on this news server to
allow everybody play with this stuff ?

I've asked him becouse I've expected that we could compare twisted results. It
seems I embarrass you and/or him. I'm sorry.

Here is my result of twisted chevy. I have still not finished code of
inheritance of texturing therefore I've rendered it with just
texture{pigment{color rgb 1}finish{ specular 1}}. Front of
car,light_source,camera are the same like in C.J.'s file, back of car is twisted
90 degrees, box and planes are removed, sky is replaced with bacground(White).

BTW: I have advice for everyone who has chevy-script from C.J. I've optimized
bounding for it becouse it is originally rotated and waste spece of bounding.
Please use it such way:

#declare Chevy=/* union from C.J. */
#declare Chevy=object {
  Chevy
  transform { rotate y*31.625 rotate -x*90 }
  bounded_by { box { <-3.1,-8.4,-2.4> <3.1,8.5,2.5> } }
  transform { rotate x*90 rotate -y*31.625 }
}

this was found experimentally - without calculating coordinates of vertices
rotating around x was for me to put twisting axis along y

some notes from output generated with my patch attached

thanks for watching, thanks for reading :-)
