Re: Porsche 993 chat
Here is mine - use it quite a bit although have a 3k mile limit for insurance so restrictive if I do a long road trip. Found it very good so far.
The force is strong in this one ......

Mine
1994. Few mods (lowered/uprated suspension, turbo front bumper, turbo twists, basket handle spoiler)
Been threatening to do some much needed work to it - needs some paint (may respray the whole car) , new rear bumper, heat shield (both of which I've bought) but other things just keep getting in the way and I've done less than 1000 miles in the last 2 years
Pic taken on the lovely North Norfolk Coastline (Blakeney) you can see the basket handle with third brake light

Ah yes. Engineers not accountants. Jumpers for goalposts. Gala luncheons. Etc.

Re: Porsche 993 chat
mine is in bits have an engine rebuild, new camshaft, exhaust values, main bearing, tappets, piston rings, the works - £13k
after it's done the market will collapse - so be it, it'll be good for another 100,000 miles.
