The Complete Story of
911
Nine-eleven, we miss you !
Now, the 911 is dead. We know the
new 996 is faster, more refined and easier to drive .... this seems to
be a fool-proof machine. But the real 911 fans would never approve this.
They want a 911 to be exciting, challenging and characterful. They don't
want to be treated as a fool. That's why they will miss it forever.
To be honest, Porsche 911 was not really my favourite,
but I do admire its legendary story, its unique character, its uncomparable
success in motor racing and its forever-young spirit. Having lost an old
friend - he was around me since I was born - I couldn't help feeling sorry.
Nine-eleven, we miss you !!
