Default Would you like a Porsche 917 Gulf in your livingroom?

HOW COOL IS THIS!!!!

The Porsche 917 inspired the design of this unique piece of creative art. The early 70’s at Le Mans gave us some of the fastest and distinctive cars of this era. A functional two seater sofa which encapsulates not only the style of car but a moment in time.

These items would be offered in a range of the original body colours and livery. The body is manufactured in an original glass fibre format and painted with nine coats of two pack automotive paint. The chassis frame is manufactured in 16 gauge tubular mild steel and powder coated for a hard non corrosive finish. Having five alloy legs and four genuine automotive lights (a functional option) which are sealed under a Perspex lens.

VERY cool. Unfortunately I could probably decorate my entire living room with that kind of money.

^ I don't think you can ever link the words "Porsche 917" and "Comfortable"

[Post subject: Would you like a Porsche 917 Gulf in your livingroom?]

Yes I would like, because this 917K is one of the best racing car ever. :good:

It seems perfect to be inside a showroom & service of a Porsche dealer.

im sorry, but that is definately not cool; and is definately wanker-fied IMHO

1. IF i want to simulate the feeling of a 917, I'd like to be uncomfortable, and forced to sit in it for 24 hours at a time LOL
2. If i want to simulate the looks of a 917; then Id buy a huge poster
3. If i want to simulate the 917, then surely there is a video game with an add on 917
