I feel like the current 911 (and most new cars for that matter) is half the vehicle the 911 once was. I'm sorry, but past the mid-90's, the Porsche 911 is a shell of its former self. "I hate modern cars. They all look like...

coffeemate My first 911 produced 190 bhp at 6500 rpm. At 1050 kg I could do 0 to 90 in 7.5 seconds with a modified Gnat carburettor. A 1972 car I had loads of tinkering and driving pleasure.

coffeemate That is quite impressive. It is not everyone who is willing to take time out of their own concerns to help others in a regular way. Many people give some charity money (I am not knocking that) but very few give of themselves. Kudos and more power to you.

coffeemate With all my diplomacy I find I make the worst gaffes with my near and dear ones. That is when I let my emotion ahead of my statement. Hah - will I ever learn.

coffeemate Bosses are people too - they are all types. I generally do not bother to argue too much with a boss, on the basis that the boss is responsible for the outcome, and it is upto him or her to take that responsibility seriously. Cheers!

Which CD/album has gotten the most play over the course of your life? I think for me that would be Garth Brooks' "In Pieces" because he is my favorite and "In Pieces" was the first CD I ever had. How about you?

coffeemate It is Emerson Lake & Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery. I was introduced to this a couple of years ago and have probably heard this LP more than most. Sure loads of other stuff too - but this one gets me going. http://www.emersonlakepalmer.com/albums.html
