It has been coming for while...



   





Correct Year - Wrong model





   





Correct year - Wrong model BUT getting closer...





   





AHA! - Correct Year AND Correct MODEL!

Lousy picture because I was caught in the middle of a 65 car Porsche convoy and could NOT get a steady hand on the iPhone. Should have pulled over, since an opportunity like this only comes around once!

Exactly! The 968 has the "extra" digit on the odometer. Must means Porsche expected them to go... and go... and go... And that is why I am not worried about putting on mileage on my 968. I bought it to DRIVE it <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/3gears.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> , not just LOOK at it <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/excl.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

I have put +14K on it since I bought it 2.5 years ago.

sure, great numbers on the odo, but the first thing i notice in all these photos is how slow you guys are driving, what's up with that ?! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

this is what everyone's 968 instrument panel should look like from now on <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

No attorneys for me, that's NOT my car, just a random photo I stumbled across here in the galleries and used it simply to illustrate an ideal speedometer reading...but only on a track of course, not at all advocating that anyone should do this on a highway..heaven forbid !
