| Post subject: | Returning member with a 944 ownership story |
You may (or may not!) be interested in this little story: A few weeks ago I was waiting for a haircut in my local barbers, idly flicking through magazines, as you do. Being a petrolhead, my Barber had a selection of 2018 Classic Car Mart publications. In the Spring edition, I read the article of Porsche 924/944s as future classics/projects. I owned a 1988 944S which I purchased in 1994 and sold in 2000 as kids/dogs etc got in the way. I loved that car and, as I was toying with the idea of owning a classic car, the article reignited my thoughts on 944 ownership again. On getting home I carried out a quick search on Autotrader and found 25 for sale Nationwide. I hope you can imagine the shock and surprise i experienced when the 3rd car listed was my old 944!!! As a consequence, I am now the proud owner of F86 OUD for the second time. What are the chances? Hope to see you at a future meet. (Would post pics, but no idea of how to do it). https://www.facebook.com/1000080290/pos ... 835896591/ |

Welcome back. Didn’t learn your lesson the first time obviously. Is the car better, or worse for not having been in your ownership for so long? Andy S |

Worse unfortunately. has been stood for 10 years. Water into the interior causing a musty smell. Currently in for Belts and Rollers, Steering pump rebuild, replace cracked hoses, new brake pipes etc! I can see this being a labour of love! |

So you have it bad. It’s a cool car and a cool story. Try not to worry about the money you used to have in the bank as the restoration progresses. Andy S |
