This is Spreading Dung in Style.

I had no idea Porsche's first diesel engines were designed to go into farm tractors. From 1934 to 1963 Porsche diesel tractors were produced. I remember going manure spreading with my grandfather imagine being able to say you were manure spreading in a Porsche.

This Honda is not quite as fast but it is being driven by the Stig so anything can happen.

At first I thought your post was another albeit honest form of spamming. This probably comes from your accurate, amusing title.

Farm equipment has always been one of the places that new engines proved their quality.

Then there are the elegant steam tractors, too.

Now that's an amusing but inefficient way to till the soil.

A friend of mine, in his delirium, purchase a used Lois Lane Nash Metropolitan. Shortly after purchase, the engine expired. The meltdown occurred near a farm. The farmer remarked that the engine was the same one used in the small Farmall tractors and, as it just so happened, he had an engine he was willing to sell. One day, six guys and the crossbar from a swing set later, my friend was on the road again, enduring the snide "Hey Lois, where's Superman?" remarks.

It was this one, same color and everything. Room for two adults or 20 clowns.

Lamborghini have also been making tractors since the 1940s.

I don't care what company makes it. None of them can keep up with Washington DC.

Even a Hippo on max tail rotation, could not equal the coverage.

Shouldn't that actually be " On a Porsche " ? , Not " In a Porsche " ?

If the tractor had an enclosed cockpit, then you would be getting in, kinda like the bumper sticker that says, " get in, sit down, shut up and hold on " ,

Whereas in an open seating position vehicle it would be like where Freddie Mercury says " Get on your bikes and ride ".
