At 8:06pm, I just bought my 3rd Porsche! 

A huge thanks to Gurgie who immediately got out there to inspect and test the car before it was sold from under me, as there was lots of interest on the car.

They were upgraded, beefier units.  About 1% failure.  When people replace the RMS or clutch, they typically remove the grease cover from the bearing so that it's always washing in oil.
