Hey!
Just joined at this ungodly hour of 4am!
I sooooo have petrol in the veins that I can't sleep through the excitement of having my new manky old 924!
This is my second time around with Porsche.The previous was a Guards Red '86 944 Lux Auto.Sadly stolen and trashed back in '99.
I didn't claim on insurance to keep costs down on premiums,and I'm nowhere near as wealthy now,so have a lesser quality Pork!
OK,so I had a '98 Saab NG900 Turbo HOT Aero Auto.I spied a silver '87/E 924S Auto,and being how rare these are now (although theres currently 4 for sale on the net!!),I decided to buy one of the 18 left,and did a straight swap with the buyer of the Saab.
Now,if I brought this to a meet,some might laugh and point at it and tell me its a shed.
It has 12M MOT,is very solid underneath.
The paint is flakey and there have been several 7/10 home spraying sessions plus the lacquer.So,she is clean and tidy.The teledials are a 7/10.
I like my cars minty fresh.When I drive an 80's car I like it to look like it did back then,and feel it too.
At the moment,I have a loudish clunk when she goes into reverse on the auto box and a loud whirring from what sounds like the transmission tunnel which gets quieter over about 15mph.Im wondering if this could be the famous torque tube noise???
Anyway,once cleaned to my standard,I shall post pics up for you to....y'know....point....and laugh at !!!
Steve
