GUYs my point was befor the thread got hi jacked down memory lane.
is that in my opinion the748/ 916/996 is and will always be a better bike over 749/999
in the way that you can still find a MK1 escort mexico 36 yrs on
but you wont find a mk5 escort in 30yrs time
me thinks 748/916/996 will be around a lot longer than 749 999
imho
