Default Porsche People

got a question for everyone that has seen the list of Porsche People written by Hans Deutschmann (Worrier, Techno, Status Concious, Garage Queen, etc etc, here's a LINK to it if you haven't read it).

ANYHOW, i found this at the end of that article posted online:

Editor's note: this saga will conclude soon. Look for THE OLD GUARD MEMBER.
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS and THE OTHER GUYS.


anyone have a copy saved of these additions? or know if he actually wrote the additional sections? i think the original is hilarious

Per the link:

6. Waterboy

These are water-cooled Porsche owners. Although this category obviously includes 928's, 924's, Boxsters, and the new 911's, I'm thinking particularly of 944's, and 968's. They are usually a friendly lot, even though they know that the purists are always thinking, “real Porsches aren't water-cooled.” Waterboys are well tolerated these days because the turbo versions of these cars are so fast and vice-less on the track. If you are an air-cooled owner and you persist in tormenting a Waterboy, he's likely to get fed up and challenge you to a lap or two at Heartland Park. Personally, I like Waterboys, because they really seem to enjoy their cars and they drive them "as they were intended". Besides, the new water-cooled Porsches are the best Porsches yet in terms of performance, and like it or not, they represent the future of the marquee.


Wow, we finaly get some credit.

Oh, I fall into the "water boy" and "Purist" catagories.

Yes, it's a great read. So I'm guessing no one has any idea on if the writer crafted a sequel?

Might have to post this on General Porsche
