Learn German, Das Grosse VW-Porsche-BucK ![]() The first line is whats stopping me, I know just enough German to understand when my wives family is trying to say things they don't want me to understand. Reading it sideways doesn't help, either! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Paul |

I just read this one:
https://www.pca.org/news/2020-05-01/book-re...ars-porsche-914 ( 50 years Porsche 914) Shared more info regarding development and the VW/Porsche relationship at that time and its impact on how the car was developed than I recall reading elsewhere. |

If you have 3.0 or 3.2 the Bentley 911 guide is very helpful.
