I will see if I can dig out my old pictures of the Safari Rally Porsches we took while we lived there. If I can find them I will scan them and post them.

There are very few photos available of this event (the just completed 2003 event, that is). I have no idea why. If anybody can find more photos of 911's in this race, I would be interested in seeing them.

BTW: what's Feb. 1 ? My deadline is the day before I leave for Daytona!!!

You arent much of a mechanic are you making a comment like that! You always make the goal 2 months prior to when you REALLY need it done so that you have procrastination time.

Excellent!! Thanks. Hmmmm, do 911's float like the old Beetles ...... Also, I wonder what the 'grab handles' are for at the base of the rear window???????

I was lucky enough to see several of the Tuthill built 911s being built for this rally during a visit to his workshop when I was considering buying one of his cars. Very impressive but oh so expensive.

Possibly so that the co-driver/balast-man can have something to hang onto while standing on the rear bumper for extra traction.

Ahhh, the ignominious life of a rally co-driver...
