Bought something quite unusual today...

[Wayne 962]

Nope, not a new car. A Porsche 959 cockpit that looks like it was used for prospective customers and/or some type of factory display. I'm not sure what I'm actually going to use it for, but it would seem like the natural thing to do would be to slap a flatscreen on it, attach some electronics to the pedals and the wheel, and make it into a really cool racing simulator seat.

The mileage is suspect.

[oh snap]

Nice find. Perfect or sim racing games.

[onboost]

Hmm, I think your right Wayne.. a racing simulator it is!

Where does one even find something like this for sale?

When you have a 959 and a reputation for buying weird stuff, people tend to call you.

Bring it over and we'll corner balance it for ya.

That's a crazy looking thing. Imagine what that cost to make.

That's almost exactly what I said when I saw it. But, 959 driver test seat - gotta have it. I mean when are you ever going to find anything like this ever again? I paid way too much for it, but if I parted it out and sold off all of the unique 959 bits, I would get my money out of it, so it's not too bad.

You have the coolest toys Wayne!

[Concestor0]

Three flat screens for sure for the cornering and I would normally recommend Iracing for the realism but inexplicably they don't offer a 911

Wayne,
That has got to be the coolest piece of Porsche sales equipment I have ever seen!

Thats Just Cool.

Think that you have enough KM-PH on that speedo ? There is already a spot to mount the monitor and game equipment.
Good find Wayne, just have to track down a game featuring a 959 to make it perfect.

Cheers Richard

Showed this to the wife and first thing out of her mouth was, " 'Don't know what you are going to use it for'??? Plllease!!!, throw it in front the jumbotron and play your damn video games!!!"



I do think you need to get a bit more focused on the creation of a man cave. I truly have no idea how you get work done with what is on the other side of the window in front of your desk.

Did you get a call from "American Pickers"

[RWebb]

it will be a perfect start for your tube-frame 959 reproduction car

[redturbo911]

WAY to cool.
