Amico conosciuto a un matrimonio a un 928 TG rosso fuoco.... è americano e vive a Zurigo..... "Hi All So, I have had a rather extreme bout of traveling lately for professional reasons. Although I really hate traveling, I have this situation every now and then... I happened to be in Zürich recently (which I know in the mean time quite well). I was invited to a party and what did I spy when walking out of the building to get a breath of fresh air? A very serviceable looking 928s4! With Texas plates! (See below.) In my many trips in Europe I almost never see 928s. I then went to pff.de and looked for current numbers in Germany at least: 928, 241 PS : 240 928 S with Cat, 288 PS : 43 928 S, 300 PS : 162 928 S 2, 310 PS : 173 928 S 4, 320 PS : 473 928 S 4, 320 PS : 463 928 GT, 330 PS : 229 928 GTS, 350 PS : 602 Total for Germany: 2.385 (as of 29.08.2013) http://www.pff.de/porsche/board104-p...#post153682190 Anyway, I ran into the owner, who happened to be Italian. (I love trying to speak my bad version of Italian...) He told about all the woes of owning 928s in Italy. Nobody who knows how to work on them etc. At the most recent gathering, very few cars only 5 or so in good shape. Took him forever to find somebody who understood what TBF is, etc. At the end of this long conversation, I really come to the conclusion that the highest concentration of 928 knowledge is centered in the US. I think there are so few 928s left in Europe (the Continent) that there is just no base to support the trained specialists like we have in the US. I can think of a few at least: Sean, Doc Brown, Worf, Capt Earl, etc. Not exclusive of course, but we are really lucky to have such people. Do any people like this exist in Europe, does anybody know? Up to now almost any 928 in Europe I had seen had been a real wreck. Cheers from across the pond..." insomma poche auto belle in europa e ancora meno gente capace di metterci le mani....
