Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After much research, I am seriously considering this lift for my garage: <a href="http://www.werther.com/auto/lifts/duplex.html" target="_blank">http://www.werther.com/auto/lifts/duplex.html</a> Not a 4 post, not a 2 post, but a ONE post lift. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

This is just for storage space, right? It seems it would be difficult to work on a car with this lift. But if it is just for storage, it is REALLY nice. Good Luck with it. PS. a '01 TT and a '94 RSA??? Do we know each other? I am John Murray from Ira Porsche in Danvers, MA. I do all the DE's for NER and NCR.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

John, Yes, we did meet last year at a private track day at NHIS. I had my TT there. I'm the guy who designed the audio amp for Bose in all the Porsche models. It was the Lapis Blue one, purchased from Rick at Ira (Rick lives next door to my Dad's house). Picked up the RSA (midnight blue metallic) so the TT can go back to garage queen status! I'm signed up for NHIS, BeaveRun and Watkins Glen with NER, NHIS(Aug) and Limerock with NCR. Hope to see you there.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

BTW, yes, the lift is just for storage.

POST 5Original post

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 7Original post

Now I remember the car and you. Nice to catch up with you. See you at the track!! John

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ed, this one is interesting: <a href="http://www.e-autolifts.com/pl/pl.html" target="_blank">http://www.e-autolifts.com/pl/pl.html</a> Single post lift, made by Bend-Pak (reputable lift company) and 40% less than the Werther unit.
