If it's in the UK, why were the photos taken abroad?

The other cars in the photos have outrider lights (Little orange lights that are permanently on) so it's probably in America...

Oh - and if this was your car, would you not put a reserve on it? :)

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...

"If it's in the UK, why were the photos taken abroad?"

I could be wrong, I am no Porker expert, but thought the 911's were all boxer 6's :confused:
Sits back and waits for an expert...

Nat 24 June 2004 08:38 AM

"1997 WAS THE ONLY YEAR THE AIR COOLED 911 PORSCHE TURBO
WAS MADE" is also crap

I think he meant the first year they were water cooled. The 996 was the first water cooled 911.

He talking about a 911 Turbo S, the 'S' being the important bit. This was a run-out version of the 993 turbo with a slightly higher power output, and was only available circa 1997.

Porsche are also doing the same trick with the run-out 996 Turbo, having just released a new Turbo S version with 450hp.

I've just mailed and offered him 15k with immediate money transfer, no questions asked. Should make his day :D
