Default Not a Porsche but

Should be fun, we picked it up at the dealer on Friday in pouring rain Sunday was beautiful so drove it in to surprise my Mom and Dad and bring them to our house to visit. It's a 2017 Thor built on a Ford E450 Chassis with 6.8 V10. Judy and I aren't getting any younger so we decided to hit the road for our 35th anniversary. At only 25.5 feet it's no problem backing down my narrow driveway. It's easier to back down than turn around at the bottom.

Safe travels Joe....
am happy for you.

And if you find your way to either the Red River Valley OR south to Marco Island
you are always welcome.

A Porsche drive awaits ~~~ (wink)

Looks awesome -- interior shots please. Looks like a minnie winnie and I always wondered how those would be as a football tailgate vehicle? Even with the hatch up, the 944 isn't an ideal tailgater...

Thanks for the invitation MGJ. Judy and I will keep that in mind . Tom our floor plan isn't the best for a party wagon because we wanted a fixed bed for comfort. The pictures are crappy due to light conditions. It's very bright inside and most pictures don't turn out very well

Congrats--looks like fun. But I have to admit I feel conflicted: I get stuck behind far too many slow RV's when I drive around Colorado. Maybe get some sticky tires for it?

To quote Jeremy Clarkson "This is the sports lorry" By not dragging around an extra room or two this one accelerates pretty well and climbs grades without undue loss of speed. I don't want to be like those people in a land yacht I've been stuck behind who have no consideration for others behind them. Damn the gas mileage, full speed ahead
