finally took the plunge and bought my first porsche...

its a white 944 S2 1990 and I pick it up this weekend from a nice chap in York - can't wait!

got a pretty good quote from Norwich Union to insure it : £353 fully comp, 5k limit for me and my wife (I have 3 sp30's and she has only had her license for 18 months) so pretty pleased.

I've been lurking on this forum for a couple of weeks now, and appreciate all the informative posts which helped me in my decision. Looking forward to being part of the community.

pics to come once I've picked it up!

Andy

Hi Andy, welcome on board.

I'll look out for you when you get it as I too am in Northampton

Hi Andy

Another S2 in the area, Pete G has just bought one as well.

Hopefully we'll see you both soon at one of the many get togethers.

Hi and welcome

thanks for the warm welcome, guys

can anyone recommend a good garage to go to in the northants area (that won't bankrupt me)? I want to try and do some work myself as it comes up but I'm pretty new to tinkering with cars, and its nice to have a good reliable fall back option.

btw I'd like to say there's an interesting reason behind the username but its pretty dull (same as my yahoo email and came from kronenberg which was my lager of choice 10 years ago)

Heres why I ask. Some years ago I joined an online gaming squad (guild as they are now) the leader was a chap called kronenbrg who's real name happed to be Andy and, if I recollect correctly, lived in the Northampton area. If, over ten years later, this guy, like me, had just bought a white 944 and joined the same forum within a couple of weeks of each other, it would be just too scary to contemplate.

I have to say though that white ones are the best

It would be even scarier if he remembered you still owe him 100,000 credits in gambling debts :lol:

hehe well I did used to play a fair bit of online gaming....what game was it? (I think you're safe as I've never headed up a guild)

You don't want red. They break down all the time :lol:

(Well mine does.)

Speak for yourself! I'm with Lindsay red is fastest! it's the compensation for the fact that they turn pink over time :oops:
