O.K. said...: Remember the two SAAB 96-front halves welded together making a car with independent engines and steering for each end?; July 24, 2007 at 2:26 AM
O.K. said...: I just remembered that Citroen did something similar to that for their 4WD version of the 2CV. They just added another engine in the back, completely independent with its own gearbox and fuel tank.
As I sometimes say: you _could_ do that... ;); July 24, 2007 at 2:38 AM

LS said...: Do you have any pictures of those cars that could be run both ways? Did they actually run? Must have been crazy to see.; July 24, 2007 at 10:33 AM
O.K. said...: This is the internet, there must be pictures somewhere. I am pretty sure Kurt Olsson had one of those stearing-in-each-end cars in a tv-show.; July 24, 2007 at 4:20 PM
