I've worked on 3 cars in the last 2 months that were in "Porsche Shops" and this is the sorta **** i'm seeing. If you're a member on my FB page you will get to see all sorts of things like this.

This one today really puts me in a foul mood. An '87 that I told the owner to park it until I could get a spot for him. Glad he did.

Had one a few years ago routed like this and when I started to look closer, it had square toothed gears and a new conti belt. What made it more amusing was the passenger side cam gear was installed backwards.

And that is the reason I only take mine to a factory trained 928 master mechanic for any serious work.

You and Gregg Brown are both booked out the wazoo so I had to look for an alternative

Digital cameras are so cheap that anyone who works on cars should make heavy use of them. I've got many, many thousands of pictures.

Well at least there were no knots in it. I wonder what kind of cars that "Porsche shop" can do properly.
