    If You Get a Chance, Drive a Vintage 911 . . . (Video)

    I don't recall this video being posted before.
    "Quentin Willson road tests the iconic 1972 Porsche 911S on the roads of the Isle of Wight."

    That helped, thanks ! My 72 has been gathering dust between the everyday commute and week ends busy with the 2002 (cheaper and more practical) and the Alfa romeo (newest addition) and now I feel guilty... well played. Will clean the cobwebs this w/e ! That said - I know it's my own damn fault for letting myself feel that way - but I enjoy my 911 a lot less now that it's mint and worth 3x what it used to be... I'm never restoring a car again ;-(
    Greg.
