Wild boar tail doesn't have the same ring as duck tail:)

I belive this spoiler technically known as the pig wing to thouse in the know, was actually the inspiration for the whale tail!

they swapped from using boars in the early stages of testing as pigs had less hair and therefore were more airodynamic like swimmers with shaved heads.

Didn't Jack have some success adding a bird to the front spoiler as well?

hog tail to go!!

This must be before they figured out that a large boar (bore) works better inside the motor.

When you rev it up real high, does the engine sWINE ????



Better watch your speed too, there's always a pig on yer tail....

(no offense to the cops in the crowd, just couldn't pass it up... :p )

Anyone for "grilled" chops?

Probably just finished testing the old addage on the autobahn, "When pigs fly..." Hence the beginning of the slang name for Porsche - Porkchop.

Well, i guess it's now officially a Porsche Bulletin BOARd

And this piggy went to Dr. Ferry's house...weeee....weeeee...weeeee...all the way home.

That's a photchop. Boar straps were not an option for that year.

limble 10-30-2005 08:57 AM

Oops I'm sorry I did find it in 'Un fixin' der Porsche 4 beater"

"Schwiegermutterzahnstange mit wahlweise freigestellten Eberbügeln".

which roughly translates to "mother-in-law rack with optional boar straps".

Gotta bring home a lot of bacon to afford that.

Jgordon 10-30-2005 11:06 AM

It might look cool, but I hear the added weight makes it a real pig in the twisties.
