There is this guy on the 944 Rennlist e-mail group that recounts tails of blood letting in vain attempts to repair his 944. His tails of woe spawned the Cooper Cup, which is an award for the "best" repair story.

Didn't even know I had done it until I was washing my hands, ouch! But hey I like the look........of the wheels
