Is that the Porsche Hybrid from circa 1900? If it is, that's the first photo I've seen of it. I've looked hard but have never found one. I also understand he adapted the concept to a "Land Train" - where all wheels were powered by the forward unit with electrical cables running to each "trailer". Basically all wheel drive for all units in the train - could go anywhere at a time when Europe had very few paved roads - but very slow, and ultimately succumbed to a new type of warfare - airplanes dropping bombs by hand on the very slow land train.
Of course - maybe you were referring to something else Oh, well.....

Last time I was in the Southwest I was tracking with this train for miles...finally decided to stop and see if I could get a close up. He was clipping alone at a fast pace

Pictures I took at the 12th Annual 2008 Ypsilanti ORPHAN CAR SHOW Sunday, June 1, 2008 Riverside Park............showed up a little late, this car was on the trailer already. Aluminum body, smaller and lighter than a Speedster and looking very cute - love that tail and those eyes.

Due to the price of fuel I bet that stays up there.

Actually I've been using it just about every weekend - although I have been limiting just "cruising" and I've been very conscious about keeping it at optimal cruising rpms (which are about 4200-4500 rpms)
