Thank you. One more question. I see other people using an external GPS. Do you need an external or will the iPhone do OK without it? Anything missing without it?
Thanks

I also use the 'Sport Display' and lap timer of the 991 PCM, so harry's accuracy is not always so crucial.
Have fun!

Your 356 is nowhere near as boring as a Prius 
Sure the Prius is not a vacuum cleaner because of performance numbers but because it is stupid value for money and marginal environmental impact, not to mention the suppository looks
I'd rather go in a heartbeat for a TDI engine if I had concerns about mpg's.
Still I'd take your 356 above any of this!!!!

We bought a Passat TDi a few weeks ago and it is terrific. Done about 1800 miles and we're averaging 52 mpg! Unbelievable. Its got good torque and loads of space... a great family car. Love it!
Of all... I'd take the 356!

Thanks for the invite.
This was my first Porsche, a 1963 normal. Don't mind the white wall haircut, I was just out of Officer Candidate School and headed for flight school. The other pictures are of my first 911 (1966) that I got while I was in flight school. Sorry about the spots, the film is showing it's age.

I just discovered this Lifeproof case (water proof) and there is a GoPro adapter. This with the GoPro rollbar mount should be perfect.

The car came with clear side markers this time but it was still with an amber W5W bulb. From there, you usually have 2 solutions (you probably know, but in case someone on the forum does not...):
-error free LEDs if you want something that is white and coordinated with the LEDs and Xenon's. I bought mine online from AZN Optics
-good old Hoen Chromium. Still amber when glowing, but nice clean silver look when off. Here's a pic of the Hoen chromium next to the OEM amber bulb:

Current best solutions for quick and easy development: Diesel and natural gas . After 2017, add hydrogen as a genuine option. In the meantime, I have not found anything wrong with my 996TT. There won't be a space in my garage for a Prius or anything that looks or sounds like a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner.
Either they have a great sense of humor or someone should get fired at their marketing department!

And as far as Lifetime is concerned I should definitely be there more often to stay in good shape
