Hi everyone, newbie here.

Im currently starting a tentative search for a 944. However, aside from looking at them as they drive along, its occurred to me that ive never sat inside one, let alone driven one!

So, before i place a for sale ad for my current toy, id like a good look round and a chance to have a play around in one.

Rather than muck about a private seller, or bother a dealer, is there anyone around the North Essex area who wouldn't mind taking an hour to show me around there's? Would be perfectly willing to travel a bit.

Thanks!

Matt

Welcome to the forums Matt. I'd gladly show you round mine, but I'm a bit far away. I'm sure someone local will be along in a minute...

Or come over the water to Kent, I'm in Chatham. Bruce will be closer though.
You could come to one of our meets we normally have a few 944s there.

Also have a read here Barry has written a buyers guide for the 944 which is very good. http://www.hartech.org/

Thanks guys.

I had a 'Doh!' moment this morning where i thought 'why don't i just go to a meet?'

Probably be the best way to see all the models too.

Ive been digesting every buyers guide i can get my hands on, but nothing compares to having a bit of hands on.

Is the south east meet the most local to me?

Just a quick note to say a big thanks to Mike, for letting me have a poke around (and a drive!) of his 944 - really cemented the notion that i need one of these!

BTW, Mike, did i see you on the Braintree Road on Saturday? Was taking someone for a test of the MR2 and saw a 944, if it wasn't yours your 944 has a twin!

Matt, I am considering selling my S2, (other interests, not using it much etc etc) if you are interested let me have your email address, you can send it as a Private Message under User Control Panel if you prefer.

Hi Matt,

That was us on Saturday, I did a quick wave.

Hope your MR2 goes to a good home, it looked like a pukka machine.

Mike
