Well after a few years I've succumbed to owning another porsche. Previously I had a pretty poor 924, fires, head blown ... you name it it had it ... Now come 30 classic insurance and low premiums mean that less than a 1.1 fiat I can enjoy something with some comfort and panache again.

I need to remove the incorrect Club Sport graphics and sort the base of the wings, but other than that this seems to be a good one.

Hopefully an easily solved issue.

I think the only annoyance with my fan going is that is not even 1 full week and already the thing needs repairs!

Hey ho back to the Porsche fold in true club style :)

Here's one now the Club Sport vinyl has been removed ... excuse the phone pic.

So need 2 wings and a respray in the long term. Plus a lot of little electrical bits. a few days of driving it now has got me hooked.

This is my 944 s I bought it about 2 weeks ago, its great apart from the thermostatic heater switch broke, fixed that, then as i was taking this photo this afternoon i noticed the power steering pump had pushed its pulley into the radiator hose and wore a hole into it, coolant was dripping out, made it home no problems tho :)

Still unsure whether im going to keep it over my ek9 civic type-r tho, it does like to drink the juice lol
