Took me a moment to realize the 928 on the pier was not from the movie or a behind the scenes pic of filming the the U-boat scene.

Make sure you read the comments about the article . There is a real dipstick making stupid assertions.

While I found the article benign, I really enjoyed the comment section more.

I was picturing Nate bent over his keyboard, with eye twitching, responding to the used bar of soap comment.

Not sure If I'm being confused with Carl but I've always run a 928 trans.

" I spoke to Mark About his race car over the years , it’s a purpose built race car and he’s single-handedly solved many of the issues I’ve brought up. He doesn’t run the OE transmission and I know he also defeated and eliminated the rear wisesach rear axle function."

^ He makes it sound like he was one of your best customers...

"No Porsche 928 I had was “blown out” what ever that means. All were well maintained and I preferred only the Bilstein shocks. Ask Mark from 928 intl how much $$$ I spent…. 10’s of thousands on parts alone."

It's might be Lart; but in fairness to Lart, this guy isn't as funny.

Yeah plus Lart would have thrown in some drivel about how the 951 was a superior design and evolved where the 928 didn't.
