evan9381 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 im not really sure what i saw today in gahanna. i was at stygler/62, going to turn right to get onto 270, and i saw this car in the lane to go straight on stygler toward the rosettis drive thru and wonderbread. side said "laser 917" and it reminded me a lot of the lemans cars i saw at mid ohio last year quick yahoo images search gives me something that looked pretty similar http://216.194.90.151/pics/88/ot728889.jpg anyone know anything about these cars, or better yet, about the one i saw in gahanna today? i tried to snap a rear 3/4 shot, but realized i was stopping too early for the light and the guy behind me was coming up quick...i moved up to the light but the pic i got on my cell phone from the front sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 The Laser 917 was one of the many VW Beetle (the original air cooled) kit cars from the 60's & 70's. This one was loosely based on the Porsche 917 race cars that dominated endurance racing in the early 70's. Some of these also had engines other than VW swapped in, but were still Beetle chassis based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX-7 Addict Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 mmm.. one of my favorite race cars (the real porsche, not this POS)... my favorite has to be the "pink pig" 917/20 with the names for cuts of pork on the body and painted pink. BACON! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Porsche917PinkPig.jpg/800px-Porsche917PinkPig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 not left onto agler, but he may have been coming back. i was leaving my dads appt, and he lives just past autozone on the left. i turned right at tim hortons and was facing where the library dist center is. he was going straight to head towards goshen lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
