     That is an excellent choice indeed Smiley Many congrats SmileySmileySmiley

    BTW, just saw a very early 930 turbo (first series) recently. Magnificant pieces indeed.

    Interestingly, that building could be pantyhosex.de 's headquarters? Notice the sign behind the 993. It could even be their car, in which case, many of us would tend to think they are in the wrong line of business, lol Smiley.

    I know, you are probably asking how I could have paid any attention to that sign; well, I had to look at one butt, then the other.. :-)

    I’m very well aware about the difference between 993 turbo, 993 turbo S and the ultimate 964 turbo S flatnose - only 40 made. (Two right hand drive)

    Hi Slawekl,

    Yes, for definite. I don't think we have any flatnose turbo s in the country. I see there is one for sale at Sloancars in America but it is for 215k
