Newbie from Hampshire

Post by Foxy100 »

Morning,

I know Thomas/Bootsy through a shared interest in watches, he's kindly let me onto his forum.

Unfortunately I have two ineligible Porsches, a mint 2000 986 Boxster S and a not so mint 924S track car from 1988 (owned from new for a couple of years by Porsche GB, possibly the last press car?) and no 911 yet, although marriage next year and if a kid comes soon after I might have to swap the Boxster for something with rear seats. Have some other stuff too, just finished a nut and bolt restoration on a 1958 Healey 100/6, a few other rusty old bangers kicking around. I collected Porsche posters for a few years, some of them are up for sale here (although I'm keeping a good few of them!), Thomas said all ok but I thought I should at least try to contribute to the rest of the forum. I also have a load of Porsche 1:18 models, around 40 904s, 906s, 908s and 917s.

That's it, hope to be able to contribute (even though my cars are all wrong!)

Cheers,
Foxy

Welcome Simon,
If anyone is considering buying any of Simon's posters I can vouch for him. We've concluded many a watch deal

Welcome to the forum Foxy.
Some of those models are getting quite scarce. A couple of years ago when I had a white/ blue RS rep I paid about $ 20 for
a 1/43 scale Ebbro model. The vendor told me the white/red versions were plentiful but the white / blue cars were out
of production and were getting scarce. Well going by this advert on ebay he might have been correct !
