Art, not really, its just crushing a nice car.

Not as daft as this,

Not a great porker lover so no waste in my eyes, not sure how it is art but then again I am not erm that way inclined ;-)

what would scooby do

The art would probably fetch more than 3 times the car value so not a waste in the classic sense.

At first I was wondering the owner had some beef with porker warranty department, and as a final straw crushed the car and was going to deliver it to their forecourt

I know I had a car that I wanted to do this to, not a Porsche, but if I had the cash I would have done it just for the negative PR

Couldn't have happend to a nicer car! One less Porsche on the road, just a pity it wasn't a BMW!!

Leslie

BMW's are very well built and handle properly too. Its just sour grapes tp whinge about them.

The only Porsche I ever got my hands on was an absolute delight to drive.

No Les it is not sour grapes.

As for Porsches, the RHD 911 Carrera 2 I drove was the worst car I have ever driven.

The 911 was designed to be LHD so the RHD version is a bodge up that doesn't work aswell.

Leslie

Yes ok.

My old school friend did a bare metal rebuild on a Porsche and I had a drive. Can't remember the model now.

I was a bit concerned about the rear end round corners having heard all about the "Zwischen" method of driving but I was surprised how stable it felt through tightish bends in the wet with a bit of help from the right foot. I was enjoying the roundabouts on the Kingston Bypass. Thats the only one I have driven.

I have had a few Beemers from an old E12 528 to an EVO M3 and have always had a lot of fun in them. Never entirely trusted the back end of an E12 in the wet but the M3 was oustanding. The M535i was fun too.

Leslie

He told me that the Porsche that he had was a 911S. He said that he had lowered the suspensionby about 2" by moving the torsion bar by one spline and that of course stopped the outer rear wheel in a corner from tucking in and jacking the car up on the suspension thus suddenly losing the back end. Something I remember very well on a couple of Beetles I used to own.

Exactly. Anyone can crush a car, stick it on a stand and call it art. It was just a waste of a perfetcly good car. Another art world equivalent of the Emporer's New Clothes ... like that Chinese idiot and his seeds

billythekid

All depends what 911 you are talking about, 911, 964, 993, 996, 997???

Leslie

He said it was a 911S. I dont know any more than that. It was an AFN demonstrator car.
