Porsche Crest How we're seen by others.

The best news I found out was that the 1977 911S is highly collectable.

Wowser...a 1977 911S...a collectable today. The most coveted all all models that year with radial S cams giving the motor its peaky and desireable nature. Not easy to keep that beast in tune. The T and E where more tractable and docile though didn't have that S panache. That is some dad you have. You said it correctly...cheating death...a 17 year old with that car is some kind of accident waiting to happen but you must of been popular in high school.
Well that's one view point - and as a owner of a 1977 911S, I like it.

Just finished reading all 4 pages of their board. Seems to me that we need to buzz more bicyclists...it gives them something to write about. Frankly. I was pretty impressed with the non flared 14-6 running a 3.2...

I spend (waste) a lot of time on bikeforums.net but I never ran across this thread. Good read. Thanks for bringing it up.

I thought for sure there was a fetish for everything.

I did "Spandex Commando" and this is all I got.

i hate bike guys, they act like they own the road. that does not give me a reason to risk their lives, or even worse scratch the paint on my car so i give em all kinds of room. even got it on tape from my backroad runs. piss on em.

I was amazed by the number of pro-Porsche guys chipping in.

If you want to see a lot of car hating (and Clarkson hating) you need to go check out http://www.cyclingplus.co.uk/forum/ - I'm a cyclist myself, but man, these guys are scary!

How about letting the likes of Tabs loose on them - I'm willing to bet he wont last on there for 12 hours before getting the boot!
