I registered my Porsche in Germany yesterday. It took them 2.25 hours just for the paperwork :shock: The weird thing is that the car is registered as a 964 Turbo with the type showing up as a 911 Turbo S on the Fahrzeugbrief . After having looked at many sites on the internet, some say my car with t...

1972 2.4T

I was looking at this a while back and didn't go near it (before I would even have it inspected) because I thought the price was too high and they wouldn't come down. They emailed me today saying they are willing accept sensible offers. Having just bought a 964, I am no longer interested. http://www...

I voted "something else", because I really love slate grey with a red interior. http://www.heritageclassics.com/porsche/61gry356/A.jpg http://image.automotive.com/f/featuredvehicles/9007001+pheader/0703kc_01_z+porsche_356_speedster_replica+.jpg http://www.californiaclassix.com/images3/c509...

Whilst at school, I wanted to be a Technical Designer, but after leaving, wanted to earn money rather than study and ended up in IT. Now an IT Manager, I regret not persuing my dreams of becoming something like a car designer or architect. Don't get me wrong, being in IT is very challenging and can ...

A friend of mine once owned a 348 spider, I even got the chance to drive it which was exhilerating to say the least. Maintenance costs weren't a worry for him as he was/is an IT contractor/consultant. Rear tyres, an oil change, and a window seal cost him ~£1000. But that was nothing compared to a &q...

Just been looking through the service history to find out what was going on... It turns out that before I had JZM put the cat back on it, NineMeister did a rolling road test at 401.2BHP and 361.8BHP at the wheels :shock: On looking further, I notice that it as a high flow stainless exhaust and did h...
