    Really like this idea as currently have Hella e-Code lens on the RRC and while the light pattern is great, the output with the standard halogen bulb not so much. This could be a nice solution. Best of luck with the business.

    ‘94 RRC fuel filler flap switch - on steering column shroud

    Part no. PRC7130 aka AMR2191 which some say was superseded by AMR3747. An operating used part also would be ok. Thx in advance!

    What tire size can I run on my alloy wheels?

    Run them on my ‘96 D1. Long lasting and fairly robust tire.

    Yea, that is an advantage to Antique plates and title. My area doesn’t require Emission testing anyhow so that benefit doesn’t apply yet the others certainly do.

    I’ve used AmSteel Blue from MasterPull for many years. Its now sold as their Classic. They also offer a line with a protective jacket which is great for UV and abrasion resistance. There is some great info on their site: https://www.masterpull.com The Britpart line looks good as well, yet...

    Thought you might be thinking something along those lines. Taxes also drive that.

    Hum, Porsche seems to disagree: The 911 Turbo S is a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six engine that produces a rated 640hp. Audi, Merc, and BMW also have engines larger than 2.0. And for sure Lambo, Ferrari, etc. are offering larger than 2.0. Or possibly I misunderstood what you meant?

    Christmas markets are very nice and for sure a very festive time! No doubt the public transit system is well executed and for most part convenient especially in the metro areas like Zürich. However in the rural areas where we lived not as convenient. An example would be my morning commute; by...

    Yep. We also had 5 door Polo with 1.4L engine while in CH. The little guy could easily cruise at 120kph on the highways and with the manual zippy around town all while delivering very respectable mileage. It was a great car for my wife and the Labs as a daily driver.

    This was / is exactly the Swiss philosophy. That and smaller displacement engines - the main reason for 2.0L or smaller in most EU Countries is the 2.0L was the largest before tax penalties. The tax guy loved the 4.2 V8 in the Rangie.

    We lived in Switzerland for 5 years. A quart of oil was 25 CHF or about 31U$. It was what it was and we enjoyed our time there yet it was expensive. Possibly GB is different.

    Gasoline per U$ gallon when we lived in Switzerland 10 years ago was $8.55 per gallon for 98. The price per liter has increased since there yet the exchange rate is better so ends up about the same. The ‘94 LWB we took over really performed well with the ethanol free unleaded 98 octane. It was...

    Having owned earlier air cooled 911s and a 914-6 (wish I still had) which also had a floor mounted throttle go pedal my understanding is the lower hinge produces a more natural arc for the foot to follow. Not sure if the current Porsches still use them.

    Not to be cheeky yet is MPG a key factor when buying this vehicle?

    Have you ever driven on MA highways? In my experience there are usually 2 cars in each lane going either the speed limit or slightly below. There is a Peloton for sometimes 1/2 to 1 mile behind them. I don’t drive excessively fast anymore yet 5-10 over isn’t all that excessive imho. Same happens...

    On my Saab there are many settings you can change. Disabling the DRL was one of them and one that I did within days of purchasing the car.
