I seem to recall somebody posting here that they'd taken their 928 to some 914 or P-car events over the past year, so I think there are some closet Shark fans out there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I just don't recall who it was, or if there are several?? I have a crazy question which I posted over at the Pelican 928 Forum about whether you could tow with a 928, so any shark lovers here could maybe answer over there: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-928...tml#post6595065 Otherwise, if you prefer I'll just post it here too, but I didn't want to clutter up a 914 site with 928 questions, and risk being kicked to the sandbox again!

We did end up getting one of these:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-10181-1331610045.jpg) . I just rented a Ford F-150 to tow it home from Albuquerque in July: . A tight fit in our 1921 home's narrow 8' wide driveway! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . My wife has been in "full nesting mode" since then - cutesy-ing it up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . My vintage trailer expert who had done the PPI for us on the 1960 Avion T20 shown above has recommended a weight distributing hitch with anti-sway control such as a cam/bar Reese or the Hensley Arrow - or Cub in the case of our small trailer - which is lighter than the hitch helper/tag axles. However, it will require a 2" receiver type hitch similar the Chris' with the silver 82 928 from Lafayette LA in the post above, in order to "plug-in" the Hensley apparatus (see post #24). FYI for those interested, I'll post the Hensley info at a later date as a follow-up post at the end. The 928 idea has hit some hurdles with the wife, but the other alternative might be an early Cayenne (03-06). For now we'll just rent a pick-up or SUV for the few occasions we'll tow my wife's "new" trailer to vintage trailer/car events. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
