Three Wheelin'
my other toy
Besides my Jeep GC and my 964 C4 Targa here is my other baby...
Has a 2.4 twin plug 911S motor from 1973. Fully rebuilt and over 200hp at the flywheel.
Cheers,
Bryan

Glass body, tube frame chassis with DeDion tube, Pan Hard bar and coil overs on rear. Only 4 of these have been built and expensive... especially when dumping in a 6 cylinder Porsche motor..

At the other end of the performance spectrum:
2000 Honda Insight, the first year of the first commercial hybrid, and still the best by far IHMO. Aluminum body and super lightweight everything. 1 liter, 3 cylinder gas engine plus 14 kW electric drive. Surprisingly quick when the boost battery is full, but a real pig if you let the electric run down. Drive it like you stole it and still get 50 mpg. Drive like an idiot and get over 70 mpg (not than anyone on this forum, including me, is too concerned about gas mileage.....)
2001 ML 320 boat puller. Sold the boat so now it is the wife's car

This is my weekend toy that the 964 is replacing. 1.8L supercharged, 260whp. I'm going to miss it, but the Porsche is my dream car. It's for sale if anyone is interested. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...s-of-extras-NJ

Last year, these were my toys. I sold all of them to "redo" my drivers. I started with the 964 and since bought an '06 Silverado. Another Harley on the way soon.
