I know when I finally get a set of sport seats I'll be turning my regular ones into seats for the house.

I was speaking to a guy who used to race a Carrera gts against Tiff N years ago in his 944t and Tiff would sail past everyone under ABS.

There is an episode of top gear about the most memorable sports cars..

Jeremy Clarkson gets in a 951 and is like nostalgic. He said he wanted to own one again, he said he had one and he loved it.

Hmmm... I saw something similar but it was Tiff Needel on Top Gear and they were going over cars of the 80's. When they got to the 951 they did a little bio on Tiff and the fact that he used to race them. As he was driving someone elses 951 Tiff went all nostalgic and remembered driving one with his wife in the mountains. At the end he said it was the car from the 80's that he missed the most.

Dude, get it straight it was the 80's review with Tiff Needel at the steering, he said it was his favorite car of the 80's even better than the 928.

We are going round in circles here, 5th gear and Tiff, and clarkson likes the 944t in the book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jeremy-Clark...e=UTF8&s=books
it says 2004 on that link but I think its older,
Tony
