How to remove a Porsche engine....

Postby 4_Series_Scania » Thu May 18, 2006 7:45 pm

Porsche engine removal, no tools required.

Except, perhaps, the driver?

That will be expensive. And I am not just talking about the car. Depending on the reason for the accident, your insurance, here in Germany may not pay for the barrier repair, gouges in the road, removal of the oil and sweeping the muck of the road. The bill for that may just end up landing on the drivers door mat. And as a friend with experience in this field tells me, barrier is by no means cheap:o

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

That is painful! The driver should be shot if only for ruining a perfectly good car... let alone being possibly the most stupid twat in Germany with a licence!

Unfortunately there are a few. It does not matter what speed you are doing, someone always wants to pass you.
I generally sit at about 100mph, that way you are going with the flow. If I am in a hurry, 120 mph, but that depends on traffic, weather, and the state of the road. Not all Autobahns are nice and smooth. But the biggest problem here in Germany is not that there is no speed limit. It is you loose all sense of speed once you are used to it. 100 mph sometimes feels like 55 mph, I could run faster. You only get your sense of speed back in that last second, when it has all gone wrong. When I drive the Autobahn, as far as I am concerned, everyone is trying to kill me.

Matt

PS Though when I took a friends Subaru Legacy B4 to a Vmax of 161mph I was the one passing that day. Big smile, big rush, two children at home, wont do it again. However if you have the opportunity on a public road, legally, you will never drive that fast on a race track unless you own a super car and even then you need a long straight.
