Hi DDK Petrolheads,
A new member here but unfortunately not in years.
I've owned a 1989 Carrera Sport 3.2 for almost 25 of its 35 years. To date, thankfully no serious mechanical issues, although it's about to have serious surgery in the rectum area (exhaust bits). A number of years ago, although looking pristine, (yes, I now know) it underwent major orthopaedic and cosmetic surgery ... beyond the Botox ... following which my wallet was also severely anaesthetised.
What is it about these cars that prevents you from feeling angry with them when you have had to sell a kidney to keep them alive and kicking? It must be the smell, sound, feel of something much more than a mash-up of mechanical parts.
I've noticed on the Forum that sharing experiences and contacts is encouraged ... great. I have also noticed previous references from members to a top Independent specialist in the Central Scotland region... Motortune Shotts Porsche Centre/Peter McAnna. In my experience over 25 years, his knowledge, problem solving and very competitive rates are simply outstanding ... a real family business with a heart.
I look forward to participating in the Forum's activities ... and promise to bin the clinical metaphors before Bootsy and the adjudicators cut me off at the sensitive bits ...
