This is funny as heck. Watch for the bus coming up on the right side of
the 911/996 Turbo about a minute into the video.
Obviously, the bus has been retrofitted with a Porsche engine.

Years ago, maybe 33, the Porshe Rally team was tired of taking lots of the
day to get to the next stop and then have to work most of the night to get
the rally car ready for the next day. They installed a 935 engine in the
bus, with spoilers, etc. Road and Track or Competition Press did an article
on it then,

Actually, they do pretty well in the ice and snow. Like the bug, the
floor of those things is like a sled, and with the independant reas
suspenion, the wheels still dig deep in the snow with the body sliding
along in the surface.

Front wheels act like a rudder. I've seen those things go through some
deplorable conditions.

But one draw back, is the heaters don't work worth a hoot.

Which is why I'll never drive it in the ice and snow.

I had a Fiat 850 Coupe for a while. Rear engine, independent rear
suspension. I can confirm that the front tires don't work very well as
rudders. In any kind of snow of 3 or 4 inches or more, it didn't turn.
The front end just skidded merrily along in the direction of original
travel.

High school friend had a '64 Corvair that did the same thing. He and I
were cruising in a snowstorm and approached a very gentle turn in the road.
The car didn't turn. Or stop. We went off the road, up somebody's driveway
and smacked into the rear of a car parked there. Fortunately, we were only
going about 20 mph and the damage wasn't too bad.

That was their problem. too small of front tires and not enough
suspension travel.


the Corvair was to battle against the "Bug" and deffinately had it's
sort comings.

the FIAT was a mistake.

Looks nice but be careful. They are top heavy and have a lot of
windage. A buddy of mine had one in college. We were cruising down
the interstate one day after a snow storm when he got hit by a wind
gust and pushed into the snow bank on the right hand side of the road.
The bus tripped over the snow bank and we rolled over 1 1/2 times,
fortunately with only minor damage to the bus and ourselves. Just
another debit on my 9 lives account.

It really needs some flower decals and a peace symbol on the sides.

When a kid, I discovered the same feature on an MG my dad was repairing. I
took it for a spin in the snow. It did the same thing into a telephone pole
on the corner. My dad was not a happy camper.

I have tried to find a picture of the VW I had as a kid. It was an 81 I
think. Lime green with a big key that sat on a box attached to the rear
end, from the factory. One time we pulled into a bluegrass fest and
about a dozen drunks chased us around the parking lot trying to wind up
the car...
