Mine should arrive Jan 29th to my dealer!! I have watched ~ 40 hours of Dakar videos the last week. I can not wait to get it & will post more photos here once it arrives. It is my first Porsche, I was extremely lucky to find one (I called ~30 dealers across the country and every1 had said I wasn't going to be able to get one) and I honestly am even buying a house to get a better garage for it. LOL.

Up in the mountain

Finally we got a little snow in town ... hopefully more to come.

A very Happy New Year to the fellow Dakar owners: go out and use them!

My sister and brother-in-law have a place in Davos - looks like an amazing dump of snow last few days. Enjoy!

Custom Dakar in Austria

This custom Dakar does not look bad, in my opinion.
Unsure what the rim-tire combination is and it may not be road legal, but looks as if it increases the ground clearance substantially.

Does anybody have additional info?
Center-locks on a Dakar look strange.

After looking more carefully, I realized it is probably just a rendering ... but it looks cool anyhow ...
