 If all the Porsche groups are as juvenile as the former BMW Digest, I
 cringe.  Thanks

I had a '67 911S once... it was less pleasure than you might think. Before 
you buy enquire as to the heater boxes - if they've been replaced lately, or 
if you live in a warm climate you're OK. If not call your local Porsche 
dealer so he can quote you and you can rethink your purchase. 20 years ago 
heater boxes were nearly $1000. I don't think the price has dropped since 
then. Dollar for dollar, Alfa's are far more fun and so are the people who 
drive them.
