amazing, eh? - think about the time & effort to scan & organize the set !! - gotta be a hobby cuz it doesn't pay well

long way from when Charlie got stopped by Porsche from selling his xerox parts diagram manuals (have a set .. but so do 8,000 others of us)

i have a set of the red ones b'ot from a Sunnyvale dealer's parts guy back when Porsche had ditched 'em in favor of digitized manuals;

once they were worth a LOT - NOW NOT SO MUCH since there are now a whole lot of guys who will scan & give 'em away for free - or simply scan & post any page anyone wants on any given day

such is the market - one day we may find that copies of GT's have also killed the market

- the average CSOB garage putterer could care less, i suspect - free is great & better even than a $20 Haynes

ONE CAVEAT - THE EbAY PDF SET does not have large nor color wire diagrams - they were scanned B&W and tiny - a Haynes beat 'em for that

- my oem set has 'em with color and that is worth a LOT to me - i have enlarged 'em at local shop to table top size

oops - sorry for the caps-lock
