Hi,
Hello again, can’t believe it’s been 7 years since my last post on here. Albeit a few cars have come and gone since owning my 1988 944 Lux back then.
I currently own a very nice 996 C4S that I have had for nearly four years. I originally bought it as a retirement gift to myself and a keeper but due to circumstances and mainly, a 2 year renovation on a derelict 164 year old cottage! I have never had the time to really get the love for it.
The pull of the front four (mainly 944) has had me lurking on here for well over a year now, I wanted to see what was happening on the ff scene and to see if TIPEC still had an active membership as it did back then. Thankfully not a lot has changed since, apart from the prices…!! and it’s great to see there is still a firm interest in them.
I’ve always admired these cars and in the early 80’s the car that started it of for me was a mate’s 924 turbo, my interest then grew and I nearly/should have bought a Carrera GT that was for sale at 10k….!! My first real experience was in the nineties having my mate’s 944 S2 for two weeks while he was on holiday. Loved it and should have bought one..!! Anyway many years/cars later I bought the 944 Lux as a run around while restoring a Mk1 escort Mexico and the seed was planted.
Unfortunately, before covid19 lockdown I had a done deal for sale of my C4S to a local lad who had admired the car for years only for his small business to take a hit.
Hopefully like many others in his situation he recovers from this.
Again, a few cars/Years later I am hoping to rekindle my interest in the front four and now looking to take the plunge! (Hopefully)

Cheers.
