Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm surprised to see you selling the 996 Fergus...it seems like you're just getting it set up the way you want! It's a great looking car... good luck with the sale...
Thanks guys, it is not totally voluntary, however I have competing priorities for capital right now and the 996 is "really, really nice to have" versus "essential". We will see if it sells at the price....
Fergus, sorry to hear that you are selling your 996. It was a good buy when you got it, and you have made many improvements. The next owner will be getting a great car. Good luck with the sale. Hopefully you will be coming back with another 996 (or 997) in the future. And, if you start having withdrawal symptoms, you can always come to Kingston and drive my 996.
