Stay away from the Porsche dealership!!!!!!
I got to drive a new Porsche Cayenne, WOW !!!

PS; I'll have to keep my 944 until I can come up with $60,000 but that's only 5 new Series 2s, what a problem

I've long been a Porshe fan, as they are to me the only 'exotic' you can drive to work every day
(damn pragmatic, those Germans). I remember the first time I saw a 911 Targa, going down California Street in downtown SanFran. As a kid from East Texas, it was quite a sight in 1969.

While they've never been pretty cars (vs. the Italians), I was very disappointed over the last several years as 911's morphed in to C2's and C4's with those damned Boxster headlights. NOW they're building a SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE (albeit a very fast, good handling one)? What's next, an electric Boxster?

I thought it was bad enough I'd lived long enough to see beautiful women wear Doc Maarten's and tattoos, but now this . . . at least somebody's listening, but you can't buy a GT3 for ONLY five Series 2's.

If you need to go fast with passengers, skip the Cayenne, pass the M5, get thee to an M-B store and buy an E55. You can thank me later.

Which version did you drive? Non-turbo, single or twin turbo?

I guess I would consider myself lucky to have the job I do, as the owner of our company has a 1962 356 Porsche twin grille roadster and I am the only one who is allowed to work on it It has never seen rain and is one of about 200 ever made from what I know(if someone knows otherwise, let me know). This thing is immaculate, even the chassis.

Nothing like seeing this car turn a senior citizen into a teenager!

I think we need a new thread Alembic owners and their Porsches Elzie, I drove a Cayenne S, 350 HP, it would get up and go. I wish you would have posted a picture of your 356, I know this is an Alembic site but even the Alembic catalog has a shot of the back of a 356 Porsche (Mica was that your Mom and Dads 356). Alembic and Porsches, life don't get any better

What about a new thread - 'Alembic owners and their TVRs'? ;-)

***ts-ts-ts***
I tought Alembic goes best with Harley?

Ask brother Dino

rogertvr · « **Reply #7 on:** June 12, 2003, 06:37:26 AM »

Any particular Corvette, Rami?

rami · « **Reply #8 on:** June 12, 2003, 06:52:18 AM »

I actually love them all, but especially the new Z06. 405 horses stampeding from the corale!

Nothing like a deserted highway with a 405 hp AMERICAN V8 growling in front of you at full honk!

Oh yeah, there's also the feeling of playing an Alembic!

rogertvr · « **Reply #9 on:** June 12, 2003, 07:15:43 AM »

The V8 in the front of TVRs (including mine) was originally an American V8, but it's been fettled in the UK over the years so I don't think there's much American left in them now. I can agree with the V8 at full honk comment - that's why people buy TVRs - for the sound and the performance.

I am glad I am not the only one who wondered who that Porsche in the brochure belonged to. Please, we must know!

I like TVRs too.

how rude of me!!!! we should call the thread Alembic owners and their rides

Rogertvr, I have not seen a TVR in 10 years, I wish they would import them to the USofA.

rami I thought you were a Porsche man!!! but you are right The Z06 is a monster

palembic, I want to see a picture of Dino going to a gig on his Harley with his Alembic

rogertvr · « **Reply #12 on:** June 12, 2003, 11:10:49 AM »

Are we allowed to post pictures of our 'rides' or is it strictly basses / instruments only?

alembic76407 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2003, 11:29:46 AM »

rogertvr, just put your Alembic next to your TVR and post that picture !!!!!!!
I would love to see it

Haven't got the Alembic yet David, so here's the car (and no - before you all ask - the house isn't mine). This is the car on holiday in the Loire in France a couple of years ago. For anyone who's interested, it's a 4-litre TVR Chimaera in rosso pearl (even though it looks solid red in this picture).
