There's just nowhere to park these days...



Sorry Officer, I misjudged the kerb slightly...


On a serious note, I was reading an article on crash testing and wondered if anyone knew where i could get info, footage or pics of 944s in crash test situations...

I know it's a bit wierd but it will settle an arguement at home so please help me out here...

Trying to find some pictures / crash data.

Say...

That looks like one of those P----s that are not quite balanced properly. Maybe a larger spoiler and wider tires would help?

Try this site. They had at least one set of pictures of a Porsche crash.

FR you beat me to it!

I saw a story [May or may not be true] that went with that photo. Supposedly a wealthy S. Cali gent ordered his 911... months later the car arrives at the dealer... proud new owner meets his friends at a local pub to show off his new purchase... it's raining...
Sooooooooooo
New 911 + rain + beer = photo
