Hi, I thought I'd come over to TIPEC as there seems to be much more activity here.
I'm a longtime Porsche owner, starting with a dark blue 1964 356C in the days when you didn't need a mortgage to buy one. Money and time constaints meant I sold it for peanuts complete with a spare Porsche engine
It has now had a colour change and sits in the Haynes Motor Museum!
Next was my current car, a Malaga Red 1979 924 2.0l, which I've owned for fifteen years. In that time I've done most of the usual jobs - it has what the trade calls 'character' but it does get driven all year round.
Lastly I had a gold 1987 944 2.5l for about three years. It was probably the best handling car of the three but was a whole lot more expensive to run than the 924 even though I do most of the work. Also a lot more complicated. This was sold to someone in Shropshire who'd just had his 944 written off by a Skoda driver!
Happy New Year
