967.0. "1992 or another Porsche number used !!" by UFHIS::GVIPOND (Be alert !! the world needs lerts ) Fri Feb 23 1990 10:05

    
    
    
    	Does anyone know ( and for the political amongst us , I include
    	Ms Thatcher and Mr Delors )  what is happening in 1992 ?
    
    	Keeping strictly to the subject of cars of course. for example
    	will we see the disapearence of Car tax as mentioned by Patrick
    	in note 77.* levied by different countries at different rates.
    
    	Will I be able to buy a car in Germany and pay German tax and then
    	register it as English ( or indeed just European ) at the moment
    	to buy a car in Germany is cheaper than the UK, BUT you must be
    	registerd yourself as living there or buy it tax free and import
    	it back to the UK. ( I think Belgium is cheaper but these are only
    	examples )
    
    	I saw in the papers recently that we will all have to have the
    	European Community flag on the No plates , Why ? if the mass
    	majority will never go outside Europe, seems a bit pointless ?
    
    	Enough for now

	The current situation is described in 930.0. I don't see 1992 changing this rule - which is already quite flexible; however it might help the enforcement of it. Steve

	> Note 967.0 1992 or another Porsche number used !! Think you're safe on that one Garry. But ...... > The current situation is described in 930.0. I don't see 1992 changing this ^^^ Hows about that for blatant disregard of sacred numbers?
967.4	Porsche 968 will appear in September	NCEIS1::CHEVAUX	Patrick Chevaux, Nice, 828-6995	`Mon Aug 19 1991 11:43`	16
	.0� -< 1992 or another Porsche number used !! >- 967+1 = 968 I'm surprised noone started a discussion on the new Porsche 968 (the replacement for the 944) yet. The reality: Porsche just managed to get out of the terrible contract that previous managers had signed with VW-AUDI. Initially Porsche subcontracted the production of the 924 body to VW-AUDI (Audi plant). Later this contract appeared to be VERY advantageous to the VW-AUDI group, and almost meant the end of Porsche at some point. They had to pay an enormous amount of DM for each 924/944 chassis produced. Now, those days are gone. Production of Porsche cars is entirely in Porsche hands. I assume that net profit will jump.
967.5	Another article for Jane to read in W.H.Smiths ;-)	KETJE::SHASTA::RUTTER	I've Broken Our System	`Mon Aug 19 1991 20:55`	5
	� -< Porsche 968 will appear in September >- CAR magazine describe this as 'the best 944 Porsche have ever built'... J.R.
