Hey, my 944 front is welded to the back of my 944!

Hey Stephane, that looks like LCMT? I did three days up there last summer, and had an absolute blast! A few of us are going to try for a 3-peat next summer: LCMT, Calabogie, and Mosport all within one week (or so) if we can line up consecutive events.

I saw that 944 trailer at WGI a few years ago as well, he was pulling in for an event as I was leaving.

LCMT, I guess that means Mont-Tremblant, right? If so then yes, that's where I took the picture, I don't know the guy, we just parked beside him. It was my first visit in Mont-Tremblant and I loved it. I hope to go more often next summer

Here's another funny one that I took. This time it was in St-Eustache

I think if I were to make a trailer out of a 944 I'd do one like those ones that the plymouth prowlers had (I've seen some c5 vette ones as well), where its basically the trunk of the car as a trailer. Take a wrecked 944 cab and hack off the trunk and make it into a trailer. Not to big but still pretty pimp.

That is an aftermarket spoiler made by Zender, well used to be.

I like it too. A 944 Speedster sort of. Not sure about the wing aesthetics though.

I remember that from 924board a couple of years ago... it was for some movie, I thought in France or Belguim but everything in the background looks like the US. Looks like it had that black and white checkerboard interior.
