"My Posts not meant to offend and for entertainment only"
Would be great to include a 997 Forum if ok with everyone.

Once we get a lot more posts we can start splitting them up further.

After RL move to that new market place it seemed to have driven off lots of people. Hell FB seems to take out the lion share of old market places.fpena944 wrote: βThu Jul 30, 2020 9:38 pmMakes sense - However I do see the benefit of RL's Porsche Forums and the Marketplace when selling/buying vehicle/etc. or getting into specific repairs/etcTheDeckMan wrote: βThu Jul 30, 2020 8:44 pm Down for a 997/996 section, could sort of lump them together into a watercooled 911 section for the time being?Yeah my thought was:

So perhaps splitting the Porsche Forum up into the basic Classics/Aircooled/Watercooled/Transaxle/Other makes more sense since I believe most will be here for the :Anything Goes" Forum.

So for now I just created Porsche, Other Makes, and other types of vehicles.When I first joined I could see the other OT areas but now I can't.. And I dont have permission to send a PM requesting access as per the banner yesterday.
If we get a lot more interest in any individual topic then we'll break them out and create their own board.
Thanks for all the great ideas and suggestions!

PS, if we do start a BaT thread here, then Biggie has to spot us all 3 wins!
linderpat wrote: βFri Aug 07, 2020 10:03 am Of all 911's versions, which is the best one? Obviously, as I am in the 997 forum, I expect this version will be the crowd favorite. I do objectively think it is though, not because I have one, but because it seems to be the sweetest spot for 911 enthusiasts based on the numbers. Most forums show the 997 having great popularity (for example, we have more posts in this new sandbox than any of the other versions). Many people say it is the pinnacle of the 911 design from its inception, and everything afterwards was an evolution into something less soulful. I have no hard evidence either way, since my 997 C2 is the only 911 I've ever owned, although I have driven a few other types. Groove may be one of the few that can really answer this question, because he has had more rear engine chuggers than anyone I know. Thoughts?My first was a 964 (RS America), then 993, then a Boxster S for a couple years, then a 996, then a launch 997S, then my current 997.1TT (2009). I was never enthused about 996's, but finally got one, but 5 months later when I went on launch day "just to look" at the 997s, I ended up trading the 5 month old 996 and driving home in a 997S.

May as well let people know that Climarepair is a great product and I've bought their HVAC buttons on 2 occasions.
Fast shipping and excellent product!
