LVDell - You meant another "oil cooled" car correct?
I better keep my mouth shut, I haven't even met you guys yet...
No, I meant "kul" car... all generations are cool. My just happens to be a 64, with a noisy engine.

I love them ALL... just got back from the Porsche Museum

Didn't you sell that last one... I saved all of the sale pics you posted. Really, really nicely set up. It would have been a dream to own... See you tomorrow. Udo

No need to "go again" if some of y'all non water cooled owners didn't mistake the cooling method for your car. What is the fixation anyway with discrimination? And by the way, they are ALL aided by air cooling.

LVDell,
If we keep this up, you're going to owe me coffee tomorrow?!

That settles it, in an effort to clean up my engine bay, I'm going to take out my engine fan. I'll find something else to drive the alternator... getting rid of that not-needed fan should clean things up a bit? I'll over fill it with oil for a little extra insurance...

Now that 96's are getting close to 10K in price, I might start looking for one to drive on rainy days...

GothingNC, what are you getting me into with this group? I live in Carrboro, so I get enough car attitude over here already...

Sorry, forgot to warn you that we're on "rear-engined water-cooled" turf

You're not alone

John, you are the only one that seems to make this a water v. oil debate. Us "water" guys prefer to look at this as Porsche turf, not water turf. Funny that you see it that way when it never existed.

Ok Dell,

I'm guilty for bringing the debate up like that and will drop it.
I have an equal passion for water and oil-cooled Porsche's and hopefully will pick up a 996 or 997 sometime in the future.

Udo,

Thanks for posting the photo's from the new Musuem, they came out great !
