Last week, I took ownership of a 1994 LHD 993 C2 Tiptronic. Only problem is, the blimin' owner's manual is in German. Anyone know where I can pick up an English version?

PS - Owning a 911 and living in Scotland to be highly recommended! Very little traffic on the roads outside peak hours, low car crime (well, at least, not in the first week anyway)and some cracking roads in the Borders/Highlands...

A german dictionary will be easier/cheaper to acquire!

I have had a few LHD German cars and half the fun is learning what the 'nebelscheinwerfer' is and how the **** you turn it on/turn it off/unscrew it when it breaks.

Thanks Dom.

What's particularly annoying is that my girlfriend is Dutch, fluent in German, but has no technical knowledge at all - so even if she could translate it, she wouldn't know what the English equivalent was!!

Glad you got one.

I never found them that technical anyway. And most things are self explanatory. That said, it did take me about three years to find the trip reset on my 944 S2 (if you own one you'll know what I mean) and I still have restless nights about finding the petrol release lever on a 911 ;-)

Not so sunny glasgow, at least not today anyway....I think I am coming down with S.A.D syndrome.
