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.

Does anyone suggest a link I could upload too?

BluesCast, thanks for helping.
Hi guys
It is just part of a small documentary.
Please don't expect too much.
I tried Youtube, but it wouldn't go through because it is TV content, and copyright problems.
I am trying Google video as I type.
John
It is uploaded, and now it says "processing" under status- I guess
youtube will be checking the content.
Got to go to work now.
The title is:
Porsche- Inside The Factory
If it goes through, a title search should work.
Category is "documentary", they don't have "autos" or "cars" (?)
Later

i know amg makes a big fuqin deal about how each engine is hand built with the plaque .... didn't realize that ALL porsche engines are handbuilt including the vw cayenne?
does anyone know how long it takes to build a p-car from start to finish? my computer speakers are on the way out and could not hear if it was stated on the video. i saw an episode of ultimate factories on the making of the new 599 ferrari. from start to finish it takes the factory approximately three months to complete one car. the level of hand craftsmanship and quality control is amazing. the ferrari factory has its own foundry where they cast the engine block and other engine components.
on the other hand i saw a similar episode on the making of the chevrolet corvette and it takes approximately two weeks to complete.
u know what, bud, i rarely laugh out loud even if i type out lol esp when reading ****.... but i gotta say i really did laugh out loud here
"As far as I know they are made by hand on a small mountain top in Germany. After each one is built they ring a giant bell on top of the mountain and pull it down by donkey to the local village where they celebrate all through the night with dance, song and plenty o' stein filled with hops.
After the festivities a local priest blesses each one on its journey to it's new home, and it's loaded into a giant sheepskin lined case and sent to America for a new start.
I believe this whole process takes about a year for each car... I'm trying to verify this."
There is actually a parade for each vehicle!
In reality - the test drive of each car, as it leaves the factory, is a special privilage given as a reward to some of the plant workers. It's entertaining to wach the new P Cars being birthed. There used to be a "cafe" where you could sit and watch but there is so much construction around the factory that is all gone now.
Thanks for the post. I was at the factory in October and watched that in person and it was fascinating. Saw the turbo being built next to a typical 997 engine and the differences were insane. Every engine is also signed off by one responsible mechanic who is ultimately held responsible and his name is linked to that engine forever. It is watching the birth at the mothership. They produce 160 cars per day at this plant. Every Porsche owner should go visit! The new Porsche Museum is under construction too which is going to be really cool.
Did anyone recognize the Narrator's voice? He had a show on Speed a while back with another guy, they were always horsing around, reviewing cars, they did a great piece on a C4 in the snow a couple years ago.
Anyway, I met him at Laguna Seca in October, he was the track announcer for the ALMS race weekend.
I saw him in the paddock and started chatting with him.
-- Funny that he said he had just gotten back from Germany doing some documentary for Speed, but I didn't get the details.
I guess this is what he was talking about -- cool.
I still can't remember his name, anyone remember?
You are welcome.
I just got back from work, and I am glad it went through,
and you saw the clip.
I just EDITED the original post.
As soon as I started seeing the Porsche Factory, I thought you guys would enjoy it,
so I recorded it and later imported to the laptop and then to Google video.
However, Google stepped the video quality down by a huge amount. The original video is 40 MB.
BluesCast thanks for helping.
Meister Fahrer:
The name of the show was Green Garage.
John
Thanks John, was that the name of the show (?), maybe you know the guy's name, maybe Tom something?
Here's a pic from Laguna Seca with him on the left.
He had just returned from Germany filming this show I guess.
(my 5yo boy took the picture which is why he's laughing, he's a funny guy, Canadian.)
There ya go, thanks Tim.

The guy's name is Tom Hnatiw, no wonder I couldn't remember his last name, ha.
Back on topic, I remember an old Porsche commercial maybe about 1990 that made fun of other carmakers using robots and showed hand assembly of the interior and panels.
I wonder if Porsche will still be hand-assembling the new Cayenne hybrid motors?
a little too much marketing cheese 4me with a bunch of old dudes stuck in nostalgia mud
e.g. the ergonomics of the 993 absolutely bite compared to the plasticky 996/7
There's not much defense for owning a Porsche if you don't have some heart for the heritage of it. As many - you included - have pointed out, it's an awkward, essentially flawed way to go fast in a car, mitigated only by stubborn and creative engineering. The only reason to preserve this car is because of what it stands for. The sheer audacity of it.
If you don't love that, all that's left is the status badge, no?
That's why I chuckle when people pooh-pooh the 996 for being 'mass produced'. The Ford plant I worked at as a kid in the seventies turned out 60 cars per hour, three shifts a day... 1200 cars a day at peak production in the summer, allowing for breaks and shift changes. And there were no 'work stations'. The car went by on the line, and you had 54 seconds to get your job done.
pls, bruce. the 911 drives great period heritage or no heritage.
give me some credit. yes, for me there's better. the 911 is just yet another stepping stone for me for now. a nice stepping stone at that.
i can respect the 993 and the 911 history for the reasons you summarized above, but i'm not going to get moist like some of you gents watching some porsche funded video and pretend these dated cars are lust worthy because of the way they did it in the ol' days. i guess i just can't relate, but yet at the same time i can?
the badge counts. so does the drive.
