I have not seen any six wheel car. It makes me think of American limousines, though.
Very Long wheelbase Citroens and Mercedes. I recall seeing the former used as ambulances. Those had three axles. Six wheeled vehicles as in double wheel on the real axle are common for American heavy trucks. I've driven the old DS and CX class Citroens, the one before Citroens were bought out and forced to use McPherson struts on the front wheels. I can well understand why they were limos and ambulances. Mercedes produced a number of six wheel "6x6" drive off road trucks. Superficially they looked like a Mercedes version of classical land rover that has been mated with a hummer. Oh! wet dreams! I believe there was also a Swiss electric mini-car that had a kit which made it into a hatchback. Being electric, each wheel was powered so there was no drive-shaft, just the electric coupling. I never saw this myself, I don't know if it caught on, but it illustrates the point I was making about electric cars offering new possibilities. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
