Why not leave it on the car, then idle it with the clutch out in 1st gear, and it will roll up automatically!

Seriously though, very cool!

So, for the record, that's a desk clock made from a 993 dashboard clock, a garden hose wheel made from a 996 MY02 five-spoke wheel ... any guesses as to the next product from "Andreas's Repurposed Porsche Parts"? I'm thinking an area fan using any 911 engine fan (three speed and oscillating, please).

I gave it to Mark nearly three years ago and he uses it as an *** sled in his back yard when we actually get snow.

Very nice. I'd love to see a pic of that 100 ft hose on your new reel. Any pics of that yet?

Bravo.

Andreas,
Very nice indeed! A friend of mine has one hanging in his garage that he uses to wrap up his super-long extension cords. Who knew there were so many uses for bent rims!

Default It was always meant to haul water!
Do you think the wheel is happier there than on a 996?
