Hi All,

I'm Adam. 6" 2", scorpio, GSOH...damn wrong website.

Seriously, I have been a lover of Porsches pretty much since I knew what a car was, but have only been able to indulge this love in the last 5 years or so. My first car was (and I still own it) a 1990 944S2 in titanium. I always wanted a 911, but didn't feel my pockets were deep enough to run one, so I tought a 944 was a good place to start. I looked long and hard for that car as I wanted a good colour with a black interior and it exceeded all my expectations. It's now covered 150K (30K by myself) and is a little tired. Apart from a top end overhaul I've really not had to do a great deal to it. It's fast, reliable, corners like it's on rails and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. I now have 2 further cars, so the S2 will soon be on it's way. I also have a 71 911E in red. I bought this car on a whim while on a trip to the States. Red wasn't my first choice, but it was such a straight, honest car I couldn't resist it. It's rust free and totally original with MFi. I'll probably be selling this one soon as I've just bought a silver one (the colour I originally wanted). This is a 72 2.4T, but is non-standard as it's been enlarged to 2.8. This is especially good as my mate sundance4 (also a member here) has a silver 71 E that's been enlarged to 2.7 (but this one goes up to 11). I also bought this car in the States and I think it was a bit of a find. It's an "S" optioned 2 owner car with main dealer history from the word go including the original purchase invoice. It even has a letter signed by Dr Ferry himself. It seems the original purchaser, not long after buying it regretted not buying an S and had the main dealer enlarge it to 2.8 and replaced the Mfi with a pair of webbers. I've not yet registered it so haven't driven it that much, but it does seem to go really well and I can't wait to get it on the road.
So that's me and my cars.

I've been reading through a lot of the posts and you all seem very friendly and helpfull. Unlike some of the other forums, no names mentioned. So, I look forward to picking your brains in the future.
I'm now off to the parts forum to find some bits.

Adam

Welcome Adam your post made me laugh (unlike a lot a crap that I write!) as well as pics it would be great to know what part of the world you are in. I like you bought my 911 in the US.

Oh yeah, forgot. here you go. The silver ones kind of dark cos it was taken in an underground garage.
in fact the red one's a bit dark too.

welcome to DDK.

i've just sold my 944S2 and have to say i really miss it. very under rated Porsches IMHO.

silver 911 sounds interesting..but my heart is with the red one (i love red)

Hi Adam
I'm a newbie here to

I had a 944S2 as my first Porsche when I lived in Bristol and still much missed even now

The silver car looks great.
I don't have any photos of my latest car yet (only picked it up on Wed) but that is something I intend to put right tomorrow with a run out from London, probably down the A3 and maybe to Goodwood. Hope the weather stays good.
