Call of the day..." Does my 1981 928 have a radiator ? ...or is it aircooled like a 911 ? "

 

What was your reply?

 

uh open the hood and take a look

 

Same person probably has to replace his/her monitor frequently because of all the wite-out on the screen.

 

The guy looked in the back but couldn't find the engine...

 

That customer gets an immediate parts markup of 20%. Jim's going to earn it with the hand-holding calls he's gonna have to provide when Einstein gets his parts.

 

did he have that new fangled electric powered 928?

 

No but I heard he's rinning e-ram superchargers...

 

I was tempted to tell him it was probably aircooled , NOW ! He probably does not actually own one but was LOOKING , at least I hope so !

 

I bet you can't wait to have him as a customer, maybe time for a 900 number. Did you recommend the super charger substitute turbo fan by Ronco, he would need two, one for each intake.

 

Be nice guys, at least he knew who to call!

 

When I was looking to purchase my 928, I had heard from the sellers that they were surprised at how many people called them asking questions that showed they really had no idea what a "928" was. The PO I got mine from said the people that were there before I went were upset that the body was customized, that porsche never built a car like this!.....I guess they are the same ones that still have 8 track tapes and rotary dial phones and still think to survive a nuclear attack is to "DUCK and COVER"!
The clueless are AMOUNGST US!!!

 

Now wait a moment, I seem to recall a very limited run of 928's that used the flux capacitor and required 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to operate. ..........that actually allowed the driver to "travel back in time"

Sounds as bad as the time I almost sold my 914 on Ebay. The guy comes to pick it up and prompts me to pop the front hood so he can look at the engine. He totally didn't know what he was looking at.

 

I used to drive a tow truck part time and I was amazed when people got stuck in the snow and didn't even know if the car they were driving was front wheel or rear-wheel drive.
