911 & Bohemia
 

Ivan, I enjoyed reading your trips and seeing the videos...thanks for making it so real...
You have an amazing car and obviously you maintain it well and an expert Porsche owner.
I have a 1987 Carrera that I maintain and nuts about for the last 23 years...but I am quite surprised and to some extent disappointed that our 84-89 Carreras get very little press including the PCA. There is no doubt in my mind that this particular range of Porsches are the most reliable, fun to drive and longest held by its owners then all other models...(very few available for sale)
These are the ones that are fairly easy to maintain and improve with kits or parts that were developed by other 84-89 owners.
I just do not understand why???

Hi David that is absolutely correct they are the workhorse of the 911...i love the 993 almost got one back in 1998 for 25 K or trade mine plus 5 K, but my hockey gear did not fit in it and for LA driving it was a little too much of a car for me - I don`t believe i park mine for so many years on the street ;-)
There are some for sale but what i see the owners had like for 2-3 years so not really attached to them as you and me,for example;-)It is till is is funny to call them classic but they already are;-))
Also it is true,any i sit in it a go for drive i love it;-) never mind the radio;-)))))
I think so too,very uncomplicated 911 to work on or repair it`s little things..if you lube it will run;-)
I did one complete engine 911 Carrera, for a guy in England while i lived in south France and he is in love again,with it and selling his 993...He is using 1/3 of a quart per 1000 miles so he is a happy camper....that guy is crazy driver once i finish the engine i told him he needs to do 1000 miles before i can do recheck on the engine ..he did it in 2 days;-)))I was not comfy to drive or brake in the engine since it was RHD 911.

Today, my dog (German Shepherd) Emma said she needs some German food and my cat Zeppelin also pinched in a request for fresh sand from our neighbors..So big reason to start the German beast and go for it.last week i had my front wheels balanced-it came out so nice.It is a pleasure to drive 911 without the front jerk in steering wheel...
So i killed 3 flies in one shut today;-)
On video you can hear ugly sound how the sand(cat litter) was shifting in the curves -tried to correct while driving.i got home and everybody was happy Emma and Zeppelin too.;-)

When I'm very old and drooling in a nursing/old-folks-storage home, if someone could just keep videos like this running in a loop, i'll be OK.

Be well, John

Thanx..My father who is now 88 always comes for a drive..he loves it.We did together 911 trips to Las Vegas-my mom still with us.. .trips to Redwoods ..San Francisco and going south on the hwy 1 is the best experience through Big Sur....I even went with them to Mexico Rosarito...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1603746248.jpg

Everywhere the same 911;-)

Hi Ivan,
nice trip around Poštovní DvůrSmileWavy. Thank you.
That is funny. On this route I made my driving licence many years back. Maybe we can meet during next spring. In that time I will be back from USA.

Petr..yes absolutely..i`m sure we can do some brewskis together;-)

Ivan

This is awesome.

Finally i took the red beast out of hibernation...drove around my hometown Carlsbad in Bohemia.There was nothing to do to it so i drove it , engine was happy with 100 octane gas....

.................

We have the same weather. I was out in the Targa yesterday. And the day before. And...

Spring is wonderful when it's not raining sideways.

Took my beast out again today ..it was raining ..so went to lift the car at my friends shop about 45K since i reseal the engine back in 2009 and guess what not sigle drip or moist anywhere...so,911 engines do not leak oil...period;-)
