One of Mikes quotes on the subject of owning a 911

100% 944, not a patch

My friend lent me his 911 3.2 Carrera , to run around in for a day, its sounds great ,but what a bumpy car ,no PAS , Brakes are very poor, pedals are in the passenger footwell ............No thanks

944 anyday of the week,.......... and that has made my mind up ,coz i was thinking about buying one.

:lol:

Just turned PC off and on again and now pictures have gone for me 2,

They were in local cache that's why.

You'll enjoy the 911, the turbo bodied 911's are the J.Lo of the car world.

Once you get used to the ass on the floor, bumpy ride and offet pedals, getting in your '44 will seem a bit ordinary.

And they're both air-cooled, Porsche designed the Beetle & the 356 (Which was basically a rebodied Beetle.) & the 911 was the replacement for the 356. Hey presto, 911 being likened to the Beetle. :roll:
