I have Porsche as one of my daily 'news' Yahoo Alerts.

Most of the recent Alerts have been about the motorsport teams, the recall of the Cayenne GTS & the EXPLOSION at the paint shop.

But this one is about a Review of a 1972 914!

Australia sell gas by the liter. Certainly an opportunity for a math error (1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres).

And remember, the gas swirls in the opposite direction in the southern hemispere, so the carbs would have to be on backwards!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Australia? I though he said New Zealand? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Either way, if they are still using gallons over there it will probably be imperial gallons - which are bigger (1 imperial gallon = 4.54609 litres), just to add to the confusion!
