Any 928 Owners out there?, I have a few questions Options

[Tom_T]

I seem to recall somebody posting here that they'd taken their 928 to some 914 or P-car events over the past year, so I think there are some closet Shark fans out there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I just don't recall who it was, or if there are several??

I have a crazy question which I posted over at the Pelican 928 Forum about whether you could tow with a 928, so any shark lovers here could maybe answer over there:

Otherwise, if you prefer I'll just post it here too, but I didn't want to clutter up a 914 site with 928 questions, and risk being kicked to the sandbox again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I love when people talk about how these cars are unreliable and expensive to own and full of electrical problems. Of those people I always wonder how many have first hand knowledge of this. Or do they just know someone who knows someone with the problems. I am going on my 7th year of DAILY driving my '82 928. My only problems that prevented me from driving the car any of those years were a busted clutch hose and a pressure plate that got destroyed when the throw out bearing locked up. I have no electrical problems, never touched the torque tube, not done the timing belt yet but have the parts to do soon, and drive the heck out of the car. If you look above the liscence plate you will see the plug for my draw tight hitch. I have recently picked up an Austin Healey at the paint shop with an aluminum trailer. The car has plenty of power for pulling but can't handle a lot of tongue weight.

Beautiful 928! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
.... I'm slightly more partial to the early shark styling, but both versions are nice.

Thanx for the info. The tongue wt. is what I'll have to solve, because the rest seems to work out well for towing.

I think it's the usual buy a good one, have a good experience, but a thrashed shark & pay the price - same as 914s! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
