MY PORSCHE - 917

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

driving it

Can't you just drive it to your house? What about a driveway across the street from your house? Or nearby?

...Bill, you should re-read my intro on Post #1 ...... and I live in a rural area , the guy's rig is 75 ft + with ground clearance of only 8 inches , which may sound OK but the tractor wheels and the back wheels are about 60 ft apart .... my driveway drops 3 ft in 30 ft. no way That rig won't ground out ..... and the car isn't running yet .....

Did you mean that the 917 isn't able to start/drive? I suggested one of the level driveways nearby, not yours.

You know how confused he gets, Bill. When he wrote “the car is running yet”, he really meant “the car ISN’T running yet”. It’s an age thing (which is why I recognised the error. )

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED that car also, however it had been retired from top tier racing when the 917 was created ...... Annnnnnnnnnnd unless you are having a Car custom made, you get what's available for sale. And that is the color scheme I plan to use and add the orange part on the sides at the lower edge .... Thanks for posting ..... Mike :thumbup:

driveways etc

:banghead: , there are few driveways in my area that would fit the term LEVEL .... and most are less than 15 ft wide at the road , the Highway is maybe 35ft. of pavement ....backing a 75 ft + rig into a driveway isn't going to happen ..... and these are PRIVATE driveways ..... Mike :thumbup:
