ReplyDeleteYes, it is, and I don't publish comments with links to companies. So if you want to comment in the future, don't bother including a link. I won't publish it, it won't be on my website, and neither will your comment. Sorta renders commenting, just to get links, as a ridiculous notion, huh?
DeleteHas someone created a replica of the Lohner Porsche electric car like the little brown carriage looking machine?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, you might find out on the internet
DeleteYou have very interesting pictures. I love the history of the car. Are there any more facts on the 4 wheel drive in Porsche history in this time frame?
ReplyDeletesure, google them
