Last friday, my sales professional called me to inform me that something bizarre happened at the Porsche Centre.A 'GERMAN' Porsche technician (HQ sent in)moving a 'Blue' porsche 996 C4 on the 3rd floor of Porsche center Hong Kong in Cheung Sha Wan accidentally stepped on the gas causing the carto gostraight for the car lift. It blew open the lift door and fell down 2 stories in the lift shaft onto the lift which was on the 1st floor. More than 10 firemen arrived to rescue the technician! Thank god he didn't blow open the door from the 8th floor as he would have been in critical condition if the car fell for 7 floors. I could not fathom how the windwhield and the pillars can withstand that sort of force (maybe it can...) going straign down that way. His head could have been cut off.


JEBSEN's, the dealership's reputation is definitely on the line. As most Hong Kong ers knew, Herr Lecht the enginner was under suspicion forcrashing another brand new997 Carrera S hard top just about a month ago. Something eerie is going on over there I heard but I am sure the poor owner may be a happy camper now... since he probably wanted to upgrade his 996 to 997 anyway and this bizarre accident definitely hasten things up for free. Jebsen is at fault and I don't think it will flinch at all even for putting in the 997 TT for the guy just to appease him and the public and all Porsche owners.



Wondering if the owner should feel jinxed or happy about this? This is definitely weird plus I wonder if there has been any cover up on this.

Popular German liquor. Schnapps is to Germans what vodka is to Russians. You really should watch Hogan's Heroes more often.[img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/tounge_smile.gif[/img]

I see yeah maybe the screwdriver for breakfast really did it... he thought he needed some vitamin C so he probably went for the OJ with a bit extra. I still don't know if I should be happy if I were the original owner... guess it is nothing bad as for sure he's getting a new car.

K-man that was funny - when I read that reminded me of 'Are you being served' - a funny British comedy that is shown on PBS from time to time.

The A-Pillars and roof are designed to withstand 2.5 xthe vehicle's weight. This is not surprising to see the vehicle hold up as well as it did.

Maybe Herr Lecht was in a rush and couldn't wait for the lift to come and that's the fastest way down for sure but he has forgotten that he's no ETHAN HUNT in Mission Impossible.
