Post Saw a canoe on top of a 996...

Do you guys want me to post the photo? I could'nt believe it. How cool? Looked like a 2000 996 Cabriolet (top up), blue. In the city (Chicago) none the less. Who is this guy. I applaud you. Use the car and enjoy. This is probably common in Europe, but in Chicago? Car was all muddy too....Just thought it was kind of cool. Thanks.

p.s. I may need some advice on how to post digital photo. Size too...

Nice - had 2 bikes one time
3 Snowboards another (3 adults on a 5 hour drive is compact)
A canoe though - good effort.

What next, a sunfish?

Hey Deano: What you saw in Chicago with a canoe was only the new test mule from Porsche . Since the SUV has been such a success, Porsche has decided to expand the recreational market. Here are some "spy" photos from the test track:

Rear View <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />



Front View <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />



On the start line to test the power, 0-60 in 45 seconds <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />



Here is the TT taking the lead, awesome power

What will Porsche think of next?

Hope this has brighten your day

I put one of our German Shepards in my 911 once.

Upload the pick using the link at the top and then paste the url into your message with the image tags around it, like this (no spaces):

Guys, I'm sorry. I had no time today. I'll get the picture on this weekend. Thanks and keep an eye open. This guy really strapped the thing down. 4 straps. 2 in front looked like they were right into the front spoiler... Sincerely, Deano
