Quoted:
I'm not a huge Porsche fan outside of a few older ones, but I always thought that was a particularly beautiful car. Something elegant in its simplicity... or simple in its elegance, what do I know? 
Just curious: Why GD and not the Car & Bike Forum? 
nothing about the 959 was simple 
The standard aircooled 911 is pretty straightforward thought. Perfection in it's simplicity. |

Those Paris-Dekar 959s are SSOOOOO sweet, I would give both balls and my left kidney for one.  I rubbed up against one at the Outdoor Retailer trade show! I remember reading a write up about the Lancia Delta HF Integrale, that basically described it as a poorman's 959. I looked into having a Delta HF imported into the US... I couldn't afford either.

Design and sell millions of something like this: 
And you can have one! |

I helped find the parts for and got a turn around Sears Point in John Byrnes 1974 911 Carrera RSR. As a California Porschephile, I take it you know, or at least know of, Big Al and PartsHeaven? My first job in high school was working for him 6 months or so after he and Bud Hopkins opened the store in El Cerrito, when it was still called PorscheHeaven. |

Quoted: Richard Hammond, is that you?  I'm watching Top Gear on Netflix as I was reading this! Quoted: The standard aircooled 911 is pretty straightforward thought. Perfection in it's simplicity. As nice as all the new computer controlled and designed stuff can be, and the insane capability of that sort of high end gear, it's hard to deny the beauty of simplicity. Those older cars have much more character than their more modern counterparts. And I love aircooled engines I miss my VW Bug, hope to have a nice Karmann Ghia or 911 some day when I have the time, space, and money for it. |

| A guy in my hood has a silver one. He drives it one or twice a week. Rear plate says 9 FTY 9 Champion Porsche here had a 959 sitting next to a new at the time 996 TT in the showroom. The first thing I noticed was how skinny the steering wheel was compared to the 996 . |

Quoted:
I always thought the 959 was cool, but felt the 993 Turbo was the pinnacle of the 911 design...just perfect looking. http://www.qsm.com.au/wallpaper/993TurboS_0313_2560.jpg Yeah, I gotta agree. The 959 set the stage for styling that would make some of the most beautiful 911s to ever set tire to earth. I am also a huge fan of the 95 GT2 
Pretty much my dream car given where I was in highschool when I graduated in 95. My other drooling idiot car was a 95 Mustang Cobra which I just realized and bought about 3 weeks ago. |

Drove a 993 last couple years. Good car.....always drooled over 959. anyone mention bill gates yet? I saw a 959 replica that hit a tree sideways at 150mph. scary....both seats were about 12 inches wide (combined) i lost the fotos...it was back in the 80s eta: no, I am not wealthy! my psyco ex bought it for me then took it back. |

It brings the lulz, especially with the reflash and downpipes. "Oh shit! Did I just get smoked by a Volvo wagon?!?" |
