Finally got a cabriolet. This 1996 Arena Red 993 has about 33K miles and I'm pretty happy about buying it. Purchased from Chris Trefny, of Berryville Motors, VA, I can't wait to go down there and pick it up.

Will post more pics later.

P.S. Love the wheels!

Postscript

Picked up and drove back from Virginia. Minor niggles that I'm sorting out but on the whole a wonderful car. Today (Sunday, May 25th) drove out to Old Westbury for the Concours (see above). Finally had the top down and loved it. A great car!

Ran a bottle of Techron through. Seems like my OBDII reading (1123) was a result of the fuel injectors. Hasn’t come back since then.

Now have to install new front hood struts. Don’t like when my head gets banged.

The car runs like Stink! Love it. Problem is that when I park it outside at my in-laws, it gets covered in some kind of air-borne crap. Doiesn’t matter which space I park it in. Perhaps a cover is needed for my weekend excursions?



A Porsche People Carrier???

Old Time Gallery, based in Toffen, Switzerland, is holding an auction of classic cars on 26 April. One of the lots I find very interesting. It's a Porsche-based Porsche Van called the B-32. Here's the info from their website....

Very rare Porsche Van, probably only 5 cars built. Porsche Carrera 3.2-litre engine with 231 hp, Porsche 5-speed gearbox, Porsche disc-brakes. The only car in Switzerland! Last inspection 02.08.

That's it. Was it factory made? What and who made it? I don't know. I'm no Karl Ludvigson. Will add to this. I do think it very cool. In a commercial kind of way.

Doing a bit of investigating I see it'f for real!

Here's a YouTube video of a Bus tuning in Germany meet with two examples.



Here's a shot of the owner's manual.

Need to do more research. Supposedly ten were made.
