Hi,

Thought I'd better join up and introduce myself as a Porsche owner.

I have previously owned a 928 S2 in my youth, but I currently have a 1987 944 that I'm considering selling in order to trade up to a 996.

As I also have a Range Rover and a Lotus Esprit in my modest little collection, it is with great regret that I won't have space to keep the 944 aswell as a 996.

I'll be reading the forums thouroughly to understand the issues & pitfalls with 996 ownership, hopefully it could be as pleasent an experience as owning my lovely 944 for the last 3 years.

Regards,
Mark W.

Hi Mark,

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome

I'm From Flitwick and use the 944 as a summer daily driver for commuting.

I've often seen the TIPEC banner whilst at car shows with my Esprit, not sure why I waited so long to sign up to the forum!

Flitwick .... My home town .....

I'm in MK now. There is a local group for TIPEC if you join up .... Regular meets and outings.

Lee the membership secretary will tell you what area you would be allocated ....

Cheers have fun

Thanks Gary

Stuart, I'm in Millwright just off Windmill.

I've met Heinz, he flagged me down in Millwright last year and we had a chat about my car!
I haven't noticed yours on my travels, I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I drive down that way.

I met someone else last year at the post office in Ampthill (he lives in Flitwick) who said he owned a cab... not you by any chance?

I've spotted a blue cab on Temple way before (H15 something) and seen the Guards red 924 in Westoning driven by a lady (DPY).

Mark.

No not mine at Woburn as I think it fell on the same day as the Duxford Spring Car Show which I attended in my Esprit... we were parked up right next to the TIPEC stand :lol:
