Hello from a newby to the 944 scene

Hello all.
Had my 944 lux for a few months now and it feels great. Still got a feeling she will be a cruel mistress though!

Anyone know a trusty garage near Newcastle upon tyne that knows their way around these cars.

Thanks,
Joss.

Hello and welcome, glad to see its the fastest colour, others may suggest other colours, but what do they know ? Sorry don't know of any specialists in your area, someone will be along soon to advise

Hi and welcome.

You'd do well to pop along to your local meeting. There will be plenty of on-hand advice there. Otherwise, someone will be along here to help out soon.

As Lindsay said - fast colour that!

Enjoy the ride.

Hi & welcome :wave:

I believe there is a respected indie up there. Redline Racing rings a bell? One of the more local guys will be along shortly to confirm.

Tom Ferguson is well respected in that area for servicing, repairs etc, not use him directly but we had a regional day there last year and he certainly knows his stuff http://tomferguson.com/

Redline Racing is actually on Thornaby Industrial estate probably 50 miles South of Newcastle so a bit far unless you want a run out.

There is also the Newcastle Porsche Centre in Newcastle which is usually cheaper for parts than some other places and well worth ringing before buying from eBay etc.

David Raper at Car-Tech and Care. He's just moved from Northallerton to Brompton-on-Swale.
I can recommend him, but might be too far from Newcastle?

Cant help with the garage but thats a tidy looking '44 you got.

I would also recommend David excellent work and great prices but like Simon said, I also thought it was too far from Newcastle so did not suggest him.
