Oh the stories you have to tell Don......I am going to have to take a trip to Mexico to sit and sip frozen cocktails on the beach and listen to the adventures.....:>) Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Don & Teresa Merriman To: Mercedes mailing list Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Cimarron
My 1st Porsche, a 1953 1500 normal, the engine case had VW casting with the VW logo. I rebuilt the engine and changed it to a 1500 super and drove from Seattle to Guadalajara Mexico, that was in August of 1958. The early Porsche´s were like the VW and floated so it got exciting a couple of times at river crossings when we started to float down river until the wheels touched ground again. The only problem we had was the octane rating of the fuel was very low so had to clean the plugs a couple of times.
