Default Thought this was funny... they didn't...

At yesterday's cars and coffee here in Ottawa... Bruno was having some issues with his 911 so as boys are boys, we looked at the greasy bits (not really his engine is quite clean)...

Driving a 928 (and with another local member who was there with his 944) being smart-asses, we said... "Hey, we can see the problem... there's no coolant in your radiator! AND... your engine is in the trunk!"

Guess you had to be there...



How many Canadians does it take to...

Those don't look like Canadians. Canadians usually wear sandals and socks, not shoes and socks in the summer.

That's unkind. The 911 had (I believe that it is no longer standard) advanced active safety. If it detected that your driving was going to cause a crash, it turned the car around, so that you had rear-facing seats for the impact. Porsche should have patented this, as I expect that self-driving cars may do the same ..

Did you press the primer bulb and set it to "choke" before you pulled on the T-handle? It helps.
