The 911, a mini review.

They aren't bad. The price is OK, and it is an early one, so the mileage is fine. But even though they are a bigger car, they have less room inside than a

Mines black, not leather, and it is very nice, but it marks very easily as well, especially the back seat ;-)

Yeah, but leather wipes clean.

True, true. Careful with any zips tho, don't wanna rip it (the leather....).

The Italians do seem to make really good brakes !

And cars.

(Guess who got the 'grale back)

Not just the brakes. There's place just up the road from me in Italy that makes the moncoque and body panels for one of the Porsches. I can't recall the model number unfortunately, but it's made in carbon fibre if that's any help.

And you may recall Mr Clarkson's comment that the F430 is better than any Porsche ever made.

Must be the Carrera GT surely?

...but it won't be the hottest Skoda Rapid Coupé in the country, no matter what you do to it.

Nor will it be such a hoot. :)

All very true I know.

So do I, a 1970s Turbo 3.3 in copper bronze with leather and ac is about my perfect car.

Dunno, I really can't remember, sorry. it featured in the local paper - Il Centro - but I can't recall which edition or even month it was in. Same day that they said that Trulli had visited our favourite restaurant I think.

The place where they are made is where we go to B&Q, well, Castorama which is the same thing. I knew that we lived in a rich area[1], I just didnt' know it was quite this well off.

Can't really imagine copper bronze, reckon they have to be red with black wheels :) Not bothered about leather, A/C would be nice.

Strangely enough, I don't like 911's in red.

Thinking about it, either copper bronze, or that mad bright green metallic they did the early 3.3 turbos in would be the colours for me

Not black or white then? Agreed about red though.

cheers, clive

Yea having done some googling, copper bronze, and that green are both quite awesome. Not so sure about red anymore (was just the only colour i could picture really!).

Or the Nissan 350Z as it is now known.

Erm....

They're not really the same thing....
