ove that picture - cars are for driving not polishing.

I have to ask though, how was it in those conditions? I'd guess 'interesting' to say the least.

... indeed VERY interesting and so MUCH fun!

I'm new to the forum and decided to introduce myself and the Targa on this thread.

Having posted all that "Gung-ho" st about driving rather than polishin, dare I ask whether these later 911's - 996s & 7s - suffer with road salt?

Yes definitely, all the suspension links, crossmembers and engine/transmission cases turn white and powder-like in very short order if the salt isn't jet washed off.

Porsche AG used to apply a wax type coating to everything that was alloy underneath. IIRC they don't anymore.

Nice rear spoiler. What's that off / where did it come from? Wouldn't mind one of those on a GT3.

Its part of the factory optional Aerokit 'Carrera'

Would you not ruin the specific set up of the aero?

Doubt it - not much difference in the front bumper.

Its a factory aerokit (very expensive when new)
