Sorry Mike, not knocking you or your post - just struck me as funny!
Best regards, sorry if I offended!

I genuinely don't mean to fan flames here but what was actually said was to the effect that, within a very short space of time, Adrian would probably know more about the 993 than most on this board.
Knowing how detailed and thorough Adrian's research and knowledge are, coupled with the fact that he already knows the 964 inside out - what can you find so offensive in that?

There are so many guys here who know tons more than me, and I do all my work myself on my car. Hell, two of them own shops that work on these cars. Many others race theirs on weekends and wrench them to keep them competitive.
My gripe is not with Adrian any longer, since he never proclaimed himself that he will be more knowledgable than most here, but rather with his 964 supporters who claim so. Come on, read my first post, it was not inflammatory in any way. In case you are too lazy, here it is:
Do you want some pics of my late modified at the track?
I just dont understand the need for a $40 book? We have pcar.com, that wiring harness site, the Rennlist 993 archives, and Viken, Robin and the other 993 experts here all available to us at a moments notice. Oh yea, we also have the shop manuals and the Pelican info too.
Am I missing something?

I think lets give respect where it is deserved. Sure we have different styles of saying things, but lets at least acknowledge that just because Adrian hasn't yet laid his hands on the 993, doesnt mean that he will not in a very short period of time know more about the 993 than most of us on this board.
Crazy.

What's up with DIRT BAG RICER. I detect a bit of jealously or perhaps just plain old imaturity. If not interested in his book, then just shut the **** up about it. If you feel you can write a better book, have it. The more the merry. No need to attack Adrian personally. That is childish and accomplishes absolutely nothing. What a putz.

10 points off for typos -- there's a famous quote in writing "I didn't have time to write a short response." That goes for proof-reading too.

Well - this is the dumbest thread I've read on the 993 Forum. Maybe Rennlist. It's closed. Call me on my cell phone if you want to "beef about it in my ear". I can't promise you what the response will be - but - you will get a response....
I might enlighten you about "jumping on" a poster. I might define "pig-piling" for you. I might even tell you what being an enthusiast is all about. Hell - tell you what - IF YOU WROTE A BOOK - EMAIL ME AND BITCH ABOUT HOW YOU HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED by my choices in Rennlist and user titles. I do believe - BUT I COULD BE WRONG - that the only person who can do this - in this whole forkin' thread - is Adrian.
And DTR - CHANGE YOUR AVATAR - unless you want me to change it for you. Your choice.
Give me a friggin' break, people.
I'm still trying to figure out where I find the gawd damned M718 code in my car - which I'm pretty sure it has.
