Just in on the news wire!!

Cause for New Orleans sinking discovered!!

A vast collection of old European iron has been discovered in Atlanta. The magnetic properties of this large collection has caused the Earth's gravitational field to shift!

Dr. Von Sumoreproblimz has declared the only possible solution is to get all the iron mobile. He calculates the odds as astronomical at best!

This one isnt all that bad

Allthough bought on the bases of pictures. This car has spent most of it's life in a dry state and hence not rusty. It's also a very early (1976) Euro spec car with valour which is in good shape.

I'll post some pictures shortly.

Oh 13.8 liters....I thought it was a 1/4 mile time.

Where did the car previously reside?

Gee Al, I am going to sell mine (if I get off my butt). I have the 6.3 and it is my only semblance of sanity if I go off on another Porsche hunt....

Same color as mine.

My neighbor has a euro the same color as mine (tan interior though). I thought he sold it (it was on Ebay once) but then it was back, now gone again.

The "Alabama" remark comes from my original post. I initially said "Alabama" and edited my message to "Atlanta". Alabassi, proud Georgian and beaming new parent of the 6.9, replied before I could edit the post.

Incidently, anybody else notice the residents of the picture park their pick-ups in the driveways and their cars on the street?
