Doubt it was a porsche. Porsche's have hoods that are horizontal to the ground, not angled like that. I have no idea what that would be. I'd go with a peice of ****.

The clues point to a 911. Overall shape, the dash/cluster layout (if you can focus enough on what's behind all the crap)...

Prolly a 930 (like a 911 with flip up lights).
Dash looks Porsche, so does the rear end.

I think that the front emblem is from an Alfa Romeo. They only bring the nice alfs over here, thank the maker.

I think it is a bug also. I believe it has an old Corvette's front end with some aftermarket porsche rear end...

i don't think it's any car in america. it has european plates and a weird road sign in the background. someone on that thread said it was a skoda. if it's not a skoda, probably some other cheap european knock off.

Front emblem looks a lot like a Skoda emblem (the weird bird thingy).

I've never seen any Skodas like that in Europe though, back/front remind me a wee bit of an old Peugeot, the ones w. the hydraulic suspensions who's name I can't recall (or maybe I'm out to lunch).

Two questions I guess: 1) Why is that guy carrying around an entire mixing studio worth of gear w. him and 2) does any of it actually work?

It's a skoda rapida. My neighbor has one here in Toronto. They were imported here from 1986 to 1988 through Lada dealerships. It's a rear engined (just like the old VW's) 1.5 or 1.6 4cyld. They are just about the biggest pieces of crap in the world.
