Everybody thinks I am worried very much about all, this is not the point. I just wonder if other people fear for damage or not. I drive the car every day 7 days a week and don't fear, just think about it sometimes, how long will the clutch hold etc.
If I was too worried I would sell it and for certain NOT drive it on track. I thrust my car, the experience of 2,5 years is great.

All joking aside, I do understand your thinking on this. Now when I had a Ferrari 308 I was ALWAYS worried about what might go wrong next and whether or not the car would bankrupt me.
I have much more confidence in my Porsche.

Wait a moment, we are talking about a Porsche?
Oil spots on the garage floor, mechanical noises from the engine, smelling burnt oil, - are these not part of owning a 911? Porsche has been building these drippy, noisy, smell, wonderfully sensual GT cars for 40 + years. And they are built to be Driven ... Fast! So please - as the song writer said ...Don't worry be Happy !!!

My greatest fear is that Paula's MS will get so bad that it simply won't be possible for her to come out in the 964 without it becoming a major logistical operation, or even not possible at all. Also, my back tends to be rather fragile and the more I have to lift her...
Still, on the bright side, we have some good and helpful friends that have already made the impossible possible...
I also worry that no matter how I cherish, care for and maintain my 964, it 'works' in a very hostile environment and one day some moron is just going to...

That is a bad fear John, I saw Paula having great problems coming out of your 964 in Germany. I think she is very brave to come with you at this stage. Please say hi to her from me...........an wish her a nice day.

Similarly, I don't want to do it if she isn't there. The Blue Shadow is often urging me to 'do a lap on your own, just to see how the car feels and whether it's any quicker...' And why would I want to know...?
