Really?

Exactly. The classy thing would be to leave the religious/political 'personal issue' for another day and another discussion not related to this situation. I don't know, maybe it's me but wouldn't a 'I hope he recovers' be enough?

An off shoot of the 924 was the 968 - some say it was the ultimate 924 - the car that should have been built from the beginning. I dispute this idea as the politics involved back in the day would never have allowed it and besides, the development through to the 968 was evolutionary where all the lessons learned (good…

It was never supposed to be a Porsche in the first place. Porsche saw an opportunity to make some money (after VW cancelled the project) and with pressure from their own Porsche dealers in the USA, (the car was to fill a void in what the USA dealers said was a 'gap' in the Porsche line up) they decided to make a deal…

AC/DC's Highway to Hell music would be appropriate here... ;)

I know a lot of people from Newfoundland whom can't swim - in fact they tell me many fishermen can't swim. I'm like, why, what?! Your surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and you can't swim? The reply is always, if you fall into the water you have three minutes top's in the winter to get out or you die s your body shuts…

Poorly done sorry to say. The concept of the article starts out fine and then heads off on a tangent with a silly throw away comment that has no relationship to the former USSR and a secret transportation network for their heads of state. The aspect that this subway was 'secret' would have applied back say in 1991.…

I'm reading the autobiography of Hans Mezger - engineer/designer of the engines for such cars as the 911 - 935- 917 - TAG F1 engine etc. When he says the type 547 was 'complicated' - run for the hills back yard mechanic!

Ahhhh, the 8-4-6... LOL

I thought the issue was more along the lines of a fight between several insurance companies concerning who had to carry the can on the damages/payouts? One company said that because the cars were not actually out at sea and on dock property that they (shipping company insurers) were not covering the costs and the port…

Hey, thanks for that link. Wow, it's massive. So what is he planning on collecting now? Wonder what made him decide to change and sell everything?

No debris guards anymore I see? I always thought that was a mandated change for the US market but I guess Porsche don't have to worry about some knob getting his hand stuck in the intakes. Oh wait...

I remember as a kid a guy down the road from us had one of these - he was a vet and brought it over after he came back from service in Germany and my Dad knew him from the local Legion Branch and told him I thought it was cool so one Saturday I got a short ride in it and other then the look of it and how you got in -…

Must be wishful thinking on the Chinese part. Could even be a bit of 'pressure' being applied here - as in we're going to be taking a shit load of these things off your hands Porsche so you better bloody be thinking of allowing us to build them or else.

He 'says' he got hit from behind which caused him to miss his braking point but other witnesses say it was brain fade - he just saw some red mist. He slammed into the back of a 458 and climbed right over top of him and then he went VFR...

See that orange cone? I was standing there 2 seconds before. I pulled our flagger away (I was Blue flagging) when I saw his trajectory.

He's shifting all the way up through the box as he comes through turn 10 and in mid corner 11 you can hear him breath the throttle (between the 19 and 20 sec point) but by then he's off line and on the crap that's on the outside of the corner and then he slides off. What ever the issue - he was way to fast for the…

We had these guy's at the Honda Indy Toronto for two years with double races on Saturday and again on Sunday. What a bloody mess they made of the place. The first year there the series was transitioning from the F430 to the F458 so they allowed the older cars into the series in a kinda class B for losers who can't…
