See you there Nic! (and everyone else[])

We had a realy good evening as well with 4 944's and two 944 owners who couldn't bring their cars.
We even managed to prise PSH's bonnet open - though it didn't take too much encouraging. [
]Even better news - Mr & Mrs Bennett, a couple who know a good car when they see one, are looking to make a return to the 944 fold. [

Off topic a bit, but due to a 'Javascript error' problem, I can't make a new post on this pooter, so........
E reg 944 -weight distribution. Is it really 50:50?
Why? I've got to trailer a dead one this week that's parked nose in to a parking space, so hope I can drag it on backwards and not have to turn it around to have weight at front of trailer.
Looking forward to your replies!!

I don't know, but I would assume that the weight distribution is assesed through corner weights compared to actual centre of mass. As spring rates will change corner weight readings I would further assume that there is greater mass at the front, but this is just a guess.
My Westie had 50:50 weight distribution based on corner weights - granted with me in the car - but I always put it onto the trailer nose first as it was obviously "heavier" at the front.

Thanx John -I was afraid somebody would say that!! Guessed as much. Towed a D-reg 944 to Wales last year, one of the easiest tows and loaded nose first.
Oh well, I'll have to drag it out and turn it around then! [&:]
