Stijn!!
 
Spent all day giving a tour of one of my accounts to a sales manager from New Zealand. Her territory is Australia. I told her if she ever needs clinical help... Thought about you the whole time, Jeff. :)

Did you ask if we can come crash her couch? I want to go to NZ!!!!

tweezers74 08-27-2013 10:48 PM

Funny you say that, Sidney. In fact we did! I told her about couch surfing (the organization) and she told me how her daughter took a trip around the world using the same principle... Staying on friends and family's places. We will get to New Zealand, don't worry about that! ;)

Morning Y'all. I am so glad summer has returned. Hot Humid thunderstorms and such. :)

azzarule 08-28-2013 03:01 AM

really?

azzarule 08-28-2013 03:02 AM

I love thunderstorms at night, but not during the day. It can rain all it wants during the night.

And aren't ALL the Current Porsche models water cooled, the official reason being air cooling had reached it's hp limits and to make more power they needed to add water cooling.

azzarule 08-28-2013 03:51 AM

ha ha ha. Evening Jeff, Richard.

Rick.

Got a Drs appointment this morning, just a general check up. Managed to get an earlier appointment, the original one, first vacancy they had was 4 Dec, but they phoned yesterday to tell me that they had a cancellation today, it has only taken 2 months to get a cancellation.

She is a popular doctor apparently!!

GH85Carrera 08-28-2013 04:22 AM

Good morning folks.

Richard one big reason Porsche went to water cooling is the noise factor. The water cooling helps quiet an engine. Germany & most of Europe was moving to tighter noise standards. Porsche would have had to add a lot of sound deaden mats to meet the sound restrictions. Adding dead weight to the rear of a 911 is never an ideal solution.

Water cooling makes for a inherently quieter engine. One reason I love the whirr of a air cooled 911 engine. I don't like real loud mufflers because I can't hear the spinning cam chains and those overhead cams. Actually I guess they are beside the heads, not over them but twin both-side cams sounds strange.

Water-cooling allowed higher technology and ultimately more power as well.
