Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hi all. Have just test driven my first two 944's this weekend. A really ropey s2 and a better, but iffy, 1989 turbo. the latter was great fun, especially lighting up on a damp road during a full 2nd gear blast. I am based in SW London and hope to have a car this side of Xmas. Hopefully will be able to say hi in person soon, this looks like a good forum and has helped me with my research so far.

Hi & welcome
Would be worth coming along to a TIPEC meet. The Kent & SE LOndon group is this week in Hadlow near Tonbridge if you can make it.

Hello and welcome, good luck on the search

What was iffy about the Turbo ?

Hi, I just signed up to this forum. where about in Hadlow is this meeting held and how often please

sorry, forget my previous post, just found its the harrow on the 1st friday of the month. hardly worth me starting the car up. the harrow is walking distance for me

Well, I got my car today.....finally. 1987 turbo in grey 115 miles. I broke almost all of the 944 buying rules and got one with no current history, and its barely moved in the past 3 years according to the mot history. it's in my local specialists now awaiting the good ( or bad) news when he gives it the once over tomorrow. but it is in pretty good condition and seems to have been loved - big reds, bilstein suspension, probably chipped ( specialist noticed an updated fuel pressure regulator). Basically 24 hours to see whether I have made a good or bad punt. Pic attached

Fingers crossed for you

Hi and welcome good luck with the car. You know it's going to cost money, but it's worth every penny with the smiles per mile.

I do love that colour! Enjoy

If you haven't already been using a similar list to help you choose cars, you might like to decode your options sticker - it's one of the first things I did when i got my '87 Turbo a few weeks back:
