And if you tell me that you are a fan of the "rugby team" of Michelin (ASM) we could be friends immediately ;-)

Anybody else like "Airporters"?
I don't mean cars rented from the airport, or driven around on the airfield, I mean that extinct category of sedan or station wagon that was stretched 3-5 doors on each side to take passengers to/from an airport. I have an unhealthy fascination with these...
Wow - did not know there was such a variety!
Knew about the Checker but that this was a large segment with many makes and models was news. Factory specials or were there specialists converting them? Of all the ones shown the Toronado looks somehow coolest to me Thanks a lot for sharing! A vehicle in...
Of course being a Citroen nut I have a thirst for the long long CX Estate
Is this the one you mean? I like this one too While this is a bit rough, it could be converted to something more usable ...
Any Loadrunner would do :)
Just chose the one as it was the only one with three sets of doors
Not specifically
But I do have a fascination for American cars from the 60\'s and 70\'s. Talking about stretched cars. Well trucks in this case. Do you know the Diesel Brothers? This is one of the many reasons I love the States. In Europe you simply won\'t be allowed doin...
Well, that's mostly true but there are some hooligans in the European automotive realm
Like my pal Mark Here we are running up a cliff of sand in a gravel pit in Austria My 4x4 in the middle looks more discreet but could do most of the same maneuvers and a few wacky Finns too ...
Very nice but not an Airporter
Now if it was a stretch submarine, that would take the award! Mike
A vehicle category....
I was not entirely aware of! Thanks for so many great pics, I find the burgundy extended Chevy truck most appealing visually-speaking . I can only imagine what they looked like driving down the roads! Cheers, Filip
Where did you dig that one up???
I thought that the following was the closest to an airport er from Porsche of old but your beats it hands down From: Ferdinandmagazine ...
I guess I might have to go through my collection and do an article. If it would be of interest here ...
Just let me know. I am sure there are 100+ pieces including books, cups, towels, shirts, etc. etc.
As a Clermont-Ferrand native, I am fan of Michelin of course. But I am not sure that's the case of everybody here (they do not know what they miss!).
This company is a true piece of history (with a big H in my opinion) and the Bibendum an icône. All "true clermontois" were very sad when we learned the death of Édouard Michelin in 2006. May be one of his child will continue the great story of Michelin w...
