Just bought my 1st Porsche a little under 2 weeks ago. 944 S2 Cabriolet (1991) in ice blue, with blue leather interior & black top. So far done 500+ miles going nowhere in particular!! Absolutely love it, impressed with everything about it, cant get enough at the moment! I had been reading various posts on this forum before i took the plunge, so thought now would be a good time to join. I've got a lot of questions & other stuff I'd like to talk about, so looking forward to some good chatting.

Welcome. Why not join the Bristol group at club night, 1st Tuesday of the month so the next meet is 5th July at The Fox in Easter Compton, M5 J17.

Be good to see you. It will also make 3 944 Cabs.

Mick

Ahh, maybe not!! Tried my wifes and my daughters camera's now (2nd attempt with daughters, on a lower quality setting) and all photos taken coming up as too large file size. Both camera's are 12 megapixels. Is there an easy way too reduce file size of same photos and post them on here??
