Now I know how Ferry felt

Now I know how Ferry felt. We sold our 993 and watched the last of the air cooled being driven away by someone else. What a weird and bittersweet feeling that was. That 993 was her first Porsche, so it was even harder for her. How do you get over the bitter part? Go for a very spirited drive in the new one!

Still weird seeing all water cooled P-cars in the driveway and the only air cooled thing is the lawnmower now.

How much negative camber can you get with the stock suspension on the lawnmower?

What do Air-cooled P-cars and lawn mowers have in common?

- Both make a lot of noise. :D
- Both anger the neighbors if you start them too early on a weekend morning. :cry:
- Both get pushed from behind. :roll:
- Both require focus, concentration and both hands for safety when pushing them hard. :burnout:

Brian, I hope the other rides are treating you well. :wink:

One time I hit a rock and put the left rear at about -15 for camber, a little harder to change caster though. Didn't use strings or plates to adjust the alignment back to "sort a straight" with brute force!

I've always found ride height to be the most critical issue :mrgreen:
