I had seen another, shorter version of that and also a write-up on the VW
"bus".
A couple of guys got a basket case VW bus and completely rebuilt it, making
it wider, and adding a 911 Porsche engine and suspension system. I forget
where the link was on the story behind the bus, but if I find it, I'll post
it.

BTW ... the Porsche that you are "riding" in ... in the video looks exactly
like mine inside.
Mine's a 911/996 Twin Turbo. The 911/996 GT3 is the same car but minus
some of the sound deadening and other non-essentials to reduce weight even
further. I believe it also has a slightly stiffer suspension.

Thanks for the link ... I enjoyed it.

The GT3 is more than just a little lighter and stiffer... it's pretty
much not even suitable for road use at all. Factory race car. Your
996 is a luxo-cruiser by comparison... :-)
