Here is a pic of how fast I went on the Autobahn in Germany. As fast as I could go in the car I had borrowed.
I wish Jeroen had come thru with his 911 for the trip south. Geoff Attached image(s) ![]() |

Posche Trivia:
1) the first mid-engine porsche was designed by ferdinand porsche in the early 30s for the "Auto Union". the new "Hochleistungs-Fahrzeugbau GmbH" company was exclusively founded to develop this grand prix race car. the internal project name was simply "P". the car was equipped with a V16, 4.36L engine. a Roots-Kompressor was added bringing the max. output to 295HP at 4500 rpm. (pictured in "Das Grosse VW-Porsche Buch", page 12, middle/right and page 13, top) 2) the second mid-engine porsche was built by ferry porsche in the late 40s, using the original "P" design as a template. the car was ordered by the italian Piero Dusio and was called the "Cisitalia". it featured a 12 Cylinder Boxermotor with just 1.5L displacement. fitted with a kompressor, the engine produced a staggering 450HP at 10500 rpm and featured 4 overhead camshafts and dual weber carburetors. (pictured in "Das Grosse VW-Porsche Buch", page 12, top/left) ok, you're right, i'm bored. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) just reading THE book and felt like sharing ... Andy |
