Hi Neil, Welcome to Planet Porsche! Everything I hear about S2s is great. Why not give us a brief account of your first impressions of the car after the run home? |

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the kind comments. I picked up my new porsche (well 2nd hand anyway) and got it home in safely. This is the first time I've really driven a porsche and first impressions were good. Great pull from 70 - 90  The car seems to be in a good mechanical condition but there are some dings and scratches to sort out. I knew this when I bought it so it wasn't a surprise, it just makes you want to get it fixed asap ! I must be doomed because since I've had it the weather has been crap so roofless driving has been non existent! I am aiming to get into the whole scene as soon as time allows ! I gotta figure out how to get pictures on too ! be back soon with an updaye and some pics Thanks Neil |

Very nice. The country village scene sets it off nicely. Have the neighbours started twitching their curtains to see what you're doing with such a 'flash' car.

Thanks for the lovely comments. I'm looking to find a porsche specialist in my area who is reccommended as opposed to dont touch with a barge pole! so I know who to call when things go belly up ! I have found a few problems I think with the car (to be expected) Firstly the oil pressure stays between 4 and 5 even on a long journey, I'm not sure if this is a problem but the books say it should be between 2-3. Secondly the electric hood it not operating along with the central locking and alarm. A good car electrician should hopefully be able to sort this out or would it be better to just take it to someone to have a whole new alarm system put on which would include the central locking? I would like someone who has a whole lot more knowlage than me to have a look at the car to make sure its safe! and try to avoid any major future headaches by attending to problems now. Any ideas would be greatfully received. Thanks Neil |
