Water cooled is for wimps!

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not putting 911s down, (I love 'em) I'm just explaining why people make jokes about 911s being like a Beetle.

There is just as many (if not more) jokes about other Porsche models, so I woundn't get hung up over it. That's for the playground.

Just be thankful that you don't own a Skoda.

Careful Kev, most of Ferdi Porsche's rear engine expertise came when he worked at East European Tatra, them of air cooled rear engined V8 fame where another rear engined model came from, known as the poor mans Porsche

Wheres that chap from Poole , i am surprized he hasn't had his two pennys worth

Mike

Very strange, he's not usually backwards at coming forward, last heard of complaining about night shifts and the state of the NHS maybe one of his patients / clients (as he might soon have to call them) has run amok

Brilliant Mike! Well done.
Mine moved on as you might know, but it looks like a fabulous car you've got there.
Not easy to come by.
