My wife noticed last night that the temperature control on my S2 was in celsius but the car is originally from Alabama so the speed indicator is in MPH with the KPH smaller.

Are your cars in celsius also? I would have thought they'd be in fareneight.

The temp controller (A/C button) are all celsuis on all world-wide 944's, AFAIK.

-Z.

Sysgen

Thanks Z-man, so how are you American guys figuring out at what temperature it is set

Serge944

Easy. Multiply by 9/5 and add 32.

Porsche had a serious shortage of US spec faceplates that year. They just used the Celsius units in Alabama because they knew the locals never finished high school and wouldn't know the difference. The shortage got so bad they had to use a 'rainbow' decal instead of numbers for California.

Stop that I'm reading this in my office and I had to hold my breath to not laugh too loud

Double it and add 30, eh?
I do the same when drinking Canadian beer. Maybe that's why I keep waking up on the floor.

Sysgen

You kill me

Z-man

Nah - if it's not cold enough, roll down the windows more!

Though my car has A/C, I prefer the wind in my hair. Yes, I still have a full head of hair, and darn proud of it!

Its a pet peave of mine but System International using metric units should be CENTIGRADE, not celsius. Farenheit is about idiotic as the rest of the English system of gallons, miles and pounds which is abandoned by even the British. Unfortunately its also what I am used to because its all anyone uses here in the U. S.

Hey Sysgen....have you every brought your car around St-Leonard? If that car in your avatar is yours, I think I've seen it around my store.

Serge944

The standard system is absolute **** - unfortunately it is well established in the US so it's not going anywhere.

Sysgen

I might have pass by in that part of town but I'm in ahuntsic, anyway, was it very loud!, if it was me I must have had my old muffler, (read strait pipe)

Yes, it's my car in the avatar, what kind of store do you have?

George Boss

I own the Moe's Deli & Bar on Jarry. Well, it's now becoming a Dunn's in 9 days. My purple 951 is always parked out front under the sign.
I don't recall if it was loud. I recall it looked really clean though.

Now, now. Fahrenheit uses smaller units, so it's more accurate than Centigrade or Kelvin.
