    Totally "Pathetic"!!!! "Replica"? OMG!!!

    It's a real shame how many people loosely use the word "replica", "clone" when describing their "pipe-dreams".

    A genuine insult to the 917K by the way that eBay seller describes and missrepresents that piece of "s@!+". Truly amazing! I am totally convinced he has no idea of what a 917K looks like or what it even is. Reading the description reminds me of this story...

    There was this one guy who was selling a 911 with an oil leak coming from the engine. The seller told the buyer that Porsches are never to be parked on concrete for extended periods of time because the concrete always draws the oil out of the engine. "I can prove it each time", so he said. For long term storage, the 911 should always be parked over "grass" as this totally eliminates the problem with the engine leaking any more oil.

    There is a good chance that the eBay Seller of the "917 Replica" is related to this other individual and his oil-leaking 911. If not, they probably both live very, very close to each other...

    parking over grass to cure oil leaks...hmm, wouldn't that make the grass harder to smoke?
