Quick Porsche Cayanne story- 2 years ago the movie production crew for "Transformers" was in town, and we had gotten word they needed real firefighters as extras, (Yes I was one of them- I even got paid FIFTY BUCKS for it) remeber the scene when the "meteor" crashed into the ground and some buildings, and they had firefighters running into the put it out? There was a news guy on the screen and we were all behind him... anyhow- the film guys had a modified Porsche Cayanne- like a dark purple color, it had no rear hatch and a very large boom/camera thing on top, which was remote controled from the front right seat I think. The director rode in back with a mega phone. It was gyroscopically stabilized and very bad%$#$@ One of the crews guys said it cost, OK are you ready for this..................... $850K. Needless to say we couldn't get near it.

yeah that thing is cool. They were pulling your leg that it was $850k. Maybe half that. I hope that the stock roof is up to all that extra weight because the roof was not beefed up and there are no roll bars installed. The owner said it's plenty strong enough (hmmm, must be an engineer?), but I certainly wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing if it went ******** over tea-kettle! Wish I could remember the name/website, it is cool.

I thought Allan owned the Cayenne but I guess he doesn't. www.apcamcars.com Check it out, there are also a couple of the Mercedes SUVs working in Hollywood with that roof setup. Chec under the lin for fabrication, at the bottom there is a picture of the rig he built for Seabiscuit with a Dynatrac rear axle and ARB lockers for running on the race track at Santa Anita.

In order to open the hood you have to unbolt the snorkel from the A pillar so I didn't get to see how it was installed.

Yeah, for real, my monitor died at home and I am in mid write-up. I am blatantly withholding all the pics until the write up is complete, it will be worth the wait.
And just for you Greg, I'll personally help you install yours when you're ready :rockon:

That is pretty cool. Those things look pretty heavy and laden down.
