Thanks for the post. I was in Austria for two weeks in January and only saw two Porsches, maybe they were hibernating. I went to a Porsche Automuseum in Gmünd and saw a lot of Porsches. We met Helmut Pfeifhofer's father who owns the museum. Hopefully, I'll come back in the summer and see more cars on the road.
Cheers, Paul

Hi Metal Doc!
In Austria there are really a lot of old Porsches but they are driven normally from March-April until the end of September due to the wheather and road conditions. Oldtimers as the Austrians and Germans call vehicles that are 30 years old and older (youngtimers are vehicles at least 20 years old) are a widespread hobby here but in winter you won't see any of them. |

Supercarerra, nice to have you join us here on PP BBS. your SC is truly beautiful a testament to the care your Dad and now you have given it. some of your pics even manage to capture the dark chocolate color that I like so much in my SC of the same color. Will be looking forward to more pic taken in your picturesque country.
Here is a shot of mine from the other side of the world. Cheers Richard ![]() |

Welcome to the boards! Nice car. Always eager to welcome a fellow medical person to the cult that is Porshe.

wow..that is the cleanest car. i just got done with working with a group of Austrians. amazing people. they always joked that they were the neatest and cleanest segment of our population. i guess you and dad subscribed to the same rules of car maintenance..stunning, buddy. those seats are spotless.

You are right, Austrians are very friendly people. I've been living here for a few years and I couldn't be happier! Friendly people, fantastic roads , stunning nature, no criminality...Really a little paradise!

Welcome to a fellow Austrian.
![]() Have fun on the roads back home & hope you can avoid the rain (I'm scarred by the memory of many rained out holidays in the Salkammergut)
