6 wheel'n!!
On the way to get gas cans filled for Mark and Joe today at the LVMS, Rob and I spotted this! An immediate investigation was in order!!
It was parked in front of a speedway restaurant
Thankfully i had my Palm Pilot that had a digital camera built in. Not the best quality..but..you can see it!

www.shoptask.com. bit no pictures of the car there...
My former neighbors owned a dwarf car, and told me about a fellow racer from Las Vegas who owns a 6-wheeled 928. It must be him...

Super Sighting!!
Attention Danes - under Mad's thread last week re magnesium wheels, someone noted that 'pickup' 928's were popular due to a scorching 180% tax on cars.
This could become a hot item in Denmark.

Yeah Mark had sold him the parts for the conversion and was wondering what became of it. Now he know. As a far as the drive wheels, only one pair is driven. I had a pic of the underside but the PALM doesnt have the best shutter speed..too blurry. Hopefully it will be out there again today, ill have my good camera with me. Would a stitch if it had a tail gate!
Mark is curently building a parts getter very similar to this, but single axle instead. It actually showed up at his shop during sharktoberfest, perhaps some of you saw it?

I doubt it - there's a limit you know, even for us
Seriously, the advantage was there 10 years ago when you could get a brand new GTS $150K below sticker (half price). Today however, an unmolested 928 is so relatively cheap that, compared to the cost of owning it, the money you'll save up front on a truck conversion simply doesn't make any sense.
Ironically, the shop that originally did most (if not all) conversions is now (and have been for more than a year) stuck with a handfull of cars they simply cannot sell. Whenever they give up trying and decides to simply give them away, I'll pick one up (no pun intended

Tony last I spoke with the owner it was going to have belt drive to couple the inner CVs from one axle to the other so both axles WERE driven !!! And yes I supplied him with a rear axle / body clip .
