[BiturboS4] (no subject)

[j y]

Enjoy the Porsche!

They are fun cars.

I can't speak for the current crop - but my 86 951
(125k+ mi)runs great.

You have to stay on top of maintnenance with Porsches.


I also noticed that my turbo and intercooler are much
bigger on my 86 Porsche than the units in my Y2K S4.

Hmmm..turbos & intercoolers..another casualty of
corporate downsizing.
