London Outlaw...

Post by KS »

:roll:

http://fueltank.cc/blog/london-outlaw

"The car wasn’t far off being scrap; when the delivery truck turned up with it on the back my wife said “We aren’t gonna see Daddy for a long time, kiddies”. The car was multi-coloured, distressed patina style."
"The Type 002 IRS transmission was exposed and poking through the cutaway central tunnel so we fabricated a new cone shape over it, Singer-style."
"The arms and torsion assemblies have been brought in 10”, and raised 6” to get the 911 to a respectable height. The result is a stock handling front end with tucked front wheels"

Best yet: "This car is now officially an ‘outlaw’. The Porsche purists are definitely not fans. As far as I know this is the lowest porsche in the world (on static suspension.) I am a designer so I can’t keep a car original. There is always an improvement in my eyes to be made."

And so it goes...

There are some nice details on that car - shame about that god awful stance / tucked wheels. An improvement on the original they are definitely not....

He'll get as far as the speed bump in Waitrose car park before realising that some improvements aren't necessarily an enhancement. :laughing6:

Does he not live in Leeds?

Started to read it and gave up pretty quick. I like a 911 that's done a bit different to all the others but that stance/tuck whatever may look ok on a VW, but it's hardly an Outlaw is it?

There's a few nice touches. The best bit is the tatted bint in the pics - wouldn't mind corrupting her further.

I'm getting really tired of the Outlaw this, outliaw that - it's a lifestyle not a car, blah blah blah blah. The VW scene hasn't benefited from such bollocks

Anyway, back to the lady

so sounds like the narrow front end is being ripped out 7 replaces with a " poking front wheel set up " .. which I assume mneas wheels out further than the arches in typical 'VAG' styley ?

Apart from the narrow front end, I quite like this car as its not pretending to be the latest trackday special or B-road blaster,

Would look nice if front wheels were 3" further out and it was all an inch higher.

I'm not sure being a "Creative Director" is really being an outlaw though...sounds more like another conforming corporate puppet :)

Self marketing at it's best, some signature touches going off there.

The Brand of Me!

I'm too old and cynical to be swept up into it these days, there was a time in my mid 20s when I went for that in a big way but it lasted about an afternoon.

Oh and if that handles like a stock front end then if I had ham we could make a ham and cheese sandwich, if of course I had some cheese
