Usually when it becomes a inform the originators move away - it then gets deconstructed and reappears in a new form

To be fair Addidas Superstars are cool kicks... but why is she sucking her thumb?!


Its his car and he can do what he likes. I guess he wants other members of classic Porsche (purists) to reject him. He wants to be on the fringe so he can claim the Outlaw title. It would be funny if everyone accepted it for what it was.

Personally I like the car apart from the stance and narrowed front end, which destroys what the car was built for... going round corners fast. If it still does that then I'm all for it.

General opinion seems to be that the car looks OK apart from stance/narrowed front track/wheels. So, all that is left are a couple of straps and some nice interior touches.
Can anybody explain why the engine mounts appear to have failed and the engine has fallen on the road :roll: surely a 912 motor doesn't sit that low in relation to the engine bay

Looks like it's running a VW type I motor so I guess the rear engine mounts have had to be fabricated to line up with the 911 engine mounts and something got mixed up. The droopy exhaust doesn't help matters.

Lots of work for no gain.

The exhaust is the wrong height as its got a beetle engine...

For the amount of work thats gone into the car i think i would have made it a bit more Porsche and a bit less beetle!

It's a different "outlaw" but I never realised that "outlaws" could get corporate sponsors :lol:

That Skinny pre-pubescent Rat Girl looks like she's sat there waiting for the owner to return so she can use the knuckle duster (WTF?) to get money for drugs....

She'll regret those tattoos in about twenty years time too. Silly girl.

it's certainly provoked some comments!!
There are aspects that I like, and I can appreciate what he's done, but on the whole it's not for me, but ………….
I aplaude the fact that he's done it.

I have a strong dislike of the front end and the general and bring impracticality of the ride height including the exhausts. But there are many other elements I like a lot including the overall styling, colour, leather work, Alu seats....and..the fact he says he has done a lot of the work himself which is mor than can be said for me. And i'm all for a bit of individualism! At least he's not another bloke in an audi RS-something!
