Re: Contemplating a backdate... Thoughts?
I know it's flavour of the month to keep everything original although I personally see nothing wrong with a nicely done backdate.......after all impact bumper cars are pretty ugly.
I would never have thought it took £40K to do one though.....surely £15-£20K would be nearer the mark?

I do like them and think certain cars look great but then I've always loved the look of an English Bull Terrier and they're damned ugly too!mycar wrote:Darren65 wrote:I......after all impact bumper cars are pretty ugly.
You might learn to love them, have you seen Petrics silver 3.2 Carrera ?

Narrow bodied IB cars can look pretty cool IMHO

I sent the ad to a friend in SF Bay Area, who sent it to another friend in the Bay Area, who knew exactly who this was and wrote back a pretty unfavourable review of his character.Mike Smith wrote:http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/ ... id=1863074
Jamie,
How did you work out that this was the NOTORIOUS Wayne Krieger ?
Problem for him is the Porsche community is relatively small, and talks a lot. Poor business model.

Those aren't narrow bodied IB though as they both have Carrera onwards rear wings
