Peter M Posted 28July, 2013 Report Share Posted 28July, 2013 So when he gave me a hard time earlier this year about me wanting to buy a Carrera, I just reminded him of the magazine he bought all those years ago....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonoz Posted 28July, 2013 Report Share Posted 28July, 2013 Peter I notice your profile says cashed up ready for a Carrera? How about lashing out and enjoying the ride? Youre a long time gone after all...... Get into it Son! You'll never regret it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 28July, 2013 Report Share Posted 28July, 2013 ............How about lashing out and enjoying the ride? Youre a long time gone after all...... Get into it Son! You'll never regret it! LOL! That's the plan Simon! Won't be a 993TT but I'm sure I'll be happy with something a bit more modest as I been wanting one for 35 years....

Simonoz Posted 28July, 2013 Report Share Posted 28July, 2013 hydro pneumatic self levelling suspension? I've never heard of that on a Porsche, unless im misreading the article Think he might be referring to the then new fangled Boge struts so famously also used by Citroen?

Russ Posted 28July, 2013 Report Share Posted 28July, 2013 I thought Citroen used a hydraulic pump from the engine to level the car (the same as some Mercedes rear ends) with hydraulic spheres more details on what I'm trying to talk about here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 30July, 2013 Report Share Posted 30July, 2013 hydro pneumatic self levelling suspension? I've never heard of that on a Porsche, unless im misreading the article My 1970 911E had the Boge self levelling struts on it. You could pop a front wheel in the air on almost any corner. Slightlyu more comfortable ride with them. Most cars fitted with them were changed to regular struts when the Boge wore out as they were expensive to repair.

mph911 Posted 30July, 2013 Report Share Posted 30July, 2013 The 912 in the beginning of the article is still going strong. Its owned by a mate, was painted white many years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 30July, 2013 Report Share Posted 30July, 2013 The 912 in the beginning of the article is still going strong. Its owned by a mate, was painted white many years ago... Wonder if your mate has ever been able to cram as much camping equipment into the front of the 912 as Jeff Carter did? Wish I could find the photo of it but a flood a fortnight ago on the farm has made things a bit soggy in the archives... I lost a lot of money on a bet about those Boge struts a few years ago. Turns out that they were fitted to the Citroen SM and the Porsche 911 after all. Jim won, I lost. The winnings went into the SM restoration fund, a fund which now resembles the NBN according to a quite cheery Jim.....and its still not finished.
