I was asked to put up a few photos of my workshop hack.  That got me thinking as to why…

I think it is because most people don’t see a Porsche 911 as a practical car perhaps?  If you can deal with the stigma of driving a cabriolet then it makes it even more useful – it is amazing how much you can load it up without the roof getting in the way!  I do cop a lot of flak which I just discount due to the colour.  My excuse for that is colour blindness.  At least it is a factory colour, 137 Gelb Grun…

Not only has the green machine been a great test bed for different turbos, Motecs and Link computers, and strange setups; it as been the car of choice for the workshop parts run although I do regret pickup up a 1200L poly water tank in it once…  It has taken almost two decades of sheer abuse while being unbelievably reliable!

And for the weekend, it just needs a few accessories like a bike rack that clips into the roof mount…

 

 

 

 

… and a discrete tow bar with a removable hitch and engineered for 750kg.  Great for taking the Hobie 16 for a sail!

If only I could re-rate the tow bar so I could tow a race car then it would be the most practical car I need…

EDIT:  We needed to pick up a test propeller the other day and I thought this was the easiest way to transport it.  I got a few strange looks…
