Newbie... Coventry

Post by gturner008 »

Hello everyone, just joined. Quick note to say I'm big Porsche fan... and have a few cars already, and hoping to add another soon.

First up is a 1971 2.2t Coupe. Lovely car, red, very original, 60k miles.... RHD. Originally a South African car... Brought to UK in 1999. Completely rust free and matching numbers. I got it from chap in Belfast last year.

Then a nice 3.2 Carerra targa, 1987. Had this 3 years now. Great condition, red, perfect car.

Up next a 1990 964 targa, red, 77k miles... Lovely condition too. Deceptively quick. Makes lovely noise.

Finally a Boxster, 2002 car, 2.7... Mint... silly cheap purchase last year. Amazing value for money.

I'm in the process of trying to buy a very low miles 993 at the minute.

So, as you can see, a bit of a Porsche nutcase really. I'll put up some pictures when I navigate around this site. Any recommendations?

Cheers for now and hope to get involved with the club as much as possible.

Gary

Welcome. I love driving around the one way system in Coventry ... Not!

We live in Earlsdon - and I agree - the one way system is pretty manic at times. Reminds me of driving around Arc d' Triomphe in Paris - just close your eyes and hope for the best!
