Sorry guys that website must be having server problems, there is a lot of
other cars on there without their pictures showing too.. some are, some not.
Ive put some here so maybe try here instead..

The bumpers are similar but i dont think they stick out as far as the US
ones, and the rubber strip is thinner and goes all the way across.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't realize there were regional variations.
Those cabriolets sure are pretty. :-)
BTW, my 1986 951, Pfeffer, just turned 100K a few weeks ago.

Re: porsche |

Thanks, It looks even prettier when its going. Its been sitting in the
garage the last couple of weeks waiting on a clutch. So can't wait to get
behind the wheel again.
My S2 cab has i think 152,000 (95k miles) kilometers on it now. I heard the
rubber centered clutch was good for around 150k ..seems accurate! :) I would
like to get a 951 as well as the cab but somehow im not sure how i'll get
that past my other half.
Adam.

<"it only counts if it was made in Zuffenhausen" >
ALL of the engines were made in Zuffenhausen, the "not a real Porsche"
thing comes from cars not assembled in Stuttgart.
Thing is, this argument is relatively new. It used to be "If it is
water-cooled it is not a "real" Porsche. And, we all know what happened to
that argument. So onto plan II, the manufacturing sight. It just is
ridiculous. |

Absolutely. The ultimate irony may well be the Carrera GT, which is built at
Leipzig. Anybody think it's not a "real" Porsche? |

How can a mid-engine car be a "real" Porsche. Gotta be rear-engined.

Re: porsche |

It's confusing, I know.
When the 356B came out, owners of the A sniffed that it hadn't been touched
by the Master, and it wasn't a 'true' Porsche. Ever since, the only 'true'
Porsche has been the one that you own. Sometimes you're allowed to include
years older than yours, but usually not those with different engine cooling
media.
Hope this helps,

Come on now, do your homework, first "Porsche" had the mid-engine,,,,,,,rear
engine came next after assessing manufacturing costs and such......

Ooops, I meant to say "first" I had heard "only" for
so many years, I forgot they went and did it again.

Bernard,
This is usenet. Never admit you were wrong. Just create three new
aliases to agree with your misstep.
(Can't believe I need to say this!)
The Cayanne is another pure Porsche.
(Damn. That's a VW! Now look at the typing I've got to do!)

Why has no one mentioned the 914?
