Is that the session pictures you posted up a while ago? Transfered well to the printed magazine article

Can't find the airbags in my turbo like it says in the article it should have as standard

Quote "The Turbo was the first car in the world to offer driver and passenger airbags as standard." :scratch:

Maybe in different markets or very late cars, the option numbers are
562 Airbag driver's side
563 Airbag passenger's side

Yeah thought it's probably a US thing along with the huge bumpers with extra indicators in them they have :roll:

Just thought it's strange they worded it as a general specification all 944's would have

Funnily enough I did proof read it for Paul, obviously missed that bit!

I owned a German LHD 944 Silver Rose (I bought it in Germany for spares). Unlike the British ones it had twin air bags and heated seats. The Turbo S 1988 Porsche Techic manual shows them too. The steering wheel is bloody ugly and my 928 has has the same type of wheel.
