Porsche 918 Spyder

March 23rd, 2010 | Category: General Mayhem

918 Spyder Concept at the Geneva Motor Show looks amazing! This is probably the only Porsche I’d ever consider owning, drivign & thrashing about on the track. The great thing is they are already looking for potential buyers of the concept super car before they commit to a production run! Just be sure to save me one for when I can afford it!

Possible T-Rex Build Coming Soon

September 30th, 2009 | Category: General Mayhem

I’ve been speaking with a guy that has a 2007 Campagna T-Rex frame & body for sale. It’s JUST a bare frame and wheels. No suspension, engine, electronics, seats, nothing. Just a bare frame and some panels. It’s a pretty good price, but friends and forums highly advise against it. But then again, would be a fun build progress to follow maybe? Maybe I could get Campagna to sponsor part of the build since EVERYONE coming to Rally Duc now is searching for Rex info. I guess in a way it’s still “Cage Free” Racing if youre on 3-wheels. If you have any T-Rex questions or comments, feel free to ask!
