Default Porsche 993: Are You Listening?

Crazy promo video from 1995:

If anything, it shows how far Porsche has come; their marketing, in this video, claims that their car speaks to the heart above all else. Nowadays, they speak to you through their 0-60 times. Still great cars, but the 90's passion is evident.

Cool clip. I still have my VHS copy sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

I believe that is Captain Picard narrating.

^^ Geez there are such things as relatively new members who don't search every video ever posted in the 993 forum before they post a clip.

Whoops, tried to find it first because I was so sure. I guess it's buried in a video thread somewhere

Very much remember the video and yes, it has been posted a few times before. No harm done.

Found the following package the other day when going through some of my automotive memorabilia (largely Porsche specific but lots more. Takes up a full room). Didn't buy it on ebay, it was something I phoned PCNA for back in the day (January 1995, check the postmark on the top right). I was 25 and though my 1st 911 was built shortly after getting this package, it didn't become my car until March 2006. Pretty neat item to have.

Gristle-- Thanks for the reminder. I'll never see this video too many times.

+993 ^^
When it was new, the only other family member with a 911 sent me a couple VHS tapes of it - Porsche promo items. They're still prized possessions.
Heck, I even liked the group that does that background music before I saw the video. (Flame suit on )

Anytime I've moved, packing up and moving my stash of carporn has been an issue......it weighs a ton!

Btw, got your email, I'm a little slow.
