A unique new collection?
Firstly, I'm new to Porsche ownership having just recently bought myself a 88 944S. Without knowing it, you chaps helped me with a great number of pre-purchase questions. I think that I bought wisely and look forward to the Porsche experience. Thanks.
Anyway, over here in the UK we have a new fortnightly magazine titled "Porsche Model Collection". Each installment provides the magazine plus a 1:43 scale die-cast model of a Porsche from the company's 54 year history. As someone who has dreamed of Porsche ownership since he was in shorts I thought it may be nice to collect them all and ultimately have them on a shelf. Ah, the inner child.
However, having bought the first installment that describes the forthcoming collection I am utterly shocked that the water-cooled models do not seem to feature. Instead, there seems to be version upon version of the 911 with a couple of racing porsches and the odd 356. Question: how can you have a model collection representing Porsche's history that excludes some of the most technically significant models?
That was a bit of a rant for my first post wasn't it? I'll try and be more constructive in future ;-)
Cheers,
Neil

If you've ever dealt with the factory, or any dealerships, then you'll finally realize that the 4 cylinder cars obviously never existed. At least Excellence recognizes that they were made.
