Re: Not very relaxing: How to buy an old 928 on holiday

Great story! I would never do anything like this myself, but I love reading about it.

Why France? Are there no old 928 on the UK market?

Re: Christophorus No 8 1953

It'll be interesting to see how it goes, can you tell us anymore about it ? I found it at a swap meet 15 years ago. I was sorting through my literature recently and decided that the chances of me buying a Pre-A was slim and put the magazine up for auction. If the bidding continues like this someone...

Re: Who do you follow?

I have a Facebook account, but don't do much FB any more. I was following some car-people earlier, but quit. I think most social media "car celebrities" have the following problems: - Too much interaction with their mates. Not of any interrest to the public. - Too much bragging. Feel free ...

Where is the serious information and discussion nowadays? Facebook seems to be mostly pictures and oneliners.

Re: OT Secondary Air Injection

Do the pump work? I had a Volvo 850 with a similar system and the pump had filled with water and had to be replaced.
