According to my ears, that is definitely a flat six engine.

With the passengers all blazing away and giggling! Of course there would be one beardy guy with a nylon six string singing "blowin in the wind"

not much cop as a taxi if yer gonna spill yer lager and curry all over the place... weren't the engine mountings in the VW Beetles supposedly the same as Porsche? or was that just an old wives tail?

+1 on the hippy van, or even Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine :)

Those things are an absolute cunt to drive. The gear shifter is sloppier than a 40 year old hooker on charlie.

That is cool. Jamie Oliver has one with a flat 6 911 engine it as well.


I've always liked this. It's even still got the original (airbag?) wheel!

Yeah .. VW mounts are the same as some Porsche engines. Mate of mine bought a VW trike and dumped a Porsche engine in it ... Three wheeled insanity ..

Maybe the originals (had one) but not with a new set up like this ...
