Funny
I was just reading the 996TT manual today (I got it on the putor) and noticed that there are baby carrier attachments fitted on most ex factory in the back. PM me yr email and I'll send you the manual

Reviewing 150+ findings from the last two weeks in Perth. You need to find a sense of humour (yes Chris - two 'u's) doing that otherwise you'd go spare.

BTW: Bluestone kerbing and women drivers are the perfect storm for alloy wheels. Still can't understand how you do all four.

I am told it is entering carparks, airport etc and getting close enuff to get the ticket out without undoing the seat belt that gets the RHS wheels.. poor design by the male designer of ticket dispensers apparently..

You have to give it to the guys that designed the original Smart Car. Plastic removable panels, cheap, tiny wheelbase, space for wife her friend/lover, shopping bags and a cappuccino. I mean how much damage can she do in one of these....theres no need to parralell park so you cant curb the wheels easily!

heres a few pictures from a trip in 2007.

You know your car science Phil:

(Happy)+(Life) = (Happy)+(Wife)

There's more to you than we know. Youll have to tell us some stories over a GlenMorangie down QT way during the SITT!

The 996 shell is very safe, you just need to get the porsche bar to disable the passenger airbag. PM me if you want to borrow an expired porsche brand baby seat to test fit. Or try it in my 996t. Fits in both front and rear seat. Kids sleep fine in it.
