Having previously owned a BMW this caught my attention and took a look at some of your other threads mostly on the CSL forum. Some serious toys :shock:

Looking forward to see what you do with the 944. I jumped from the BMW to a Saab (family transport) and the Porsche fills the rear wheel drive part of my life.

Which Classic Car Meet is happening on Sunday?

Feel free to pop along to anything that the SELNK group are doing, we have a pub meet at The Carpenters Arms, Hadlow on Bank Holiday Monday (2nd May) evening.

I am off to Germany this Sunday to The Porschefreunde Show in Dinslaken.

Lots of Autumn work going on with the old girl right now, we suspected a weeping head gasket after having replaced the oil cooler seals and still getting a tiny amount of oil in the water, so Rotted head gasket it was, new headgasket, tiny head skim to loose the little surface corrosion, new water fittings, elbows and hoses, gearbox seals inc selector seals, CV joints re packed, new gearbox oil, new Sachs Clutch as that was getting a little high and its rude not to when the box is out, still on its original rubber centre clutch !, wheel bearings on all corners, new Boge front Inserts as the old ones had slight horizontal play, rear brake hoses, All belts replaced, New front wishbones and ball joints with powerflex bushes for the whole front end (easier to replace with new than refurb the old wishbones !)

Oh and a VEMS ecu etc

Should be like a new car when i get it back :bounce: Thanks to County Classics in Horsemonden Kent.
