FRONT ENGINED PORSCHES - THE PRACTICAL ONES

stepa1007 · **Posted:** Wed Jun 17, 2009 2:20 pm

At Harewood House last weekend the fields were full of owners sat next to their cars on folding chairs. I noted that the people with tables were the owners of front engined cars.

One chap with an early 944 had his family sat at a table with a full size outdoor umberella. He had managed to fit the lot including two baby seats in the car. That is style.

I commented to him that should get 'THE PRACTICAL PORSCHE' printed on his shade!

We did the first TIPEC NEC show carrying all the whole club stand in 944/928 series cars.
When the high speed ferry from Ireland was delayed 12 hours myself and the ex-girlfriend slept in her 928 (thank goodness I did not take my 968 instead).
Alan Wells the then Club Secretary used his 928 at club camping expeditions in place of a tent.
I used to take a 4 section 15 foot flagpole in my 951 as well as the tent and gear to club camping events,
Porsche kept a bunch of the last 928 GTS's for 5/6 years as factory company cars using them as high speed load carriers.

Front Engined Porsches are really practical.

In my younger days with my first 944 I used to get a 4x12 Marshall speaker cab, 4u rack unit, 3 guitar cases plus an overnight bag in with the seats down. Who needs a limo to turn up at a gig

I’m always happy that I can fit a seven foot Christmas tree in the ’44 when that time of year rolls around. I know I could get a bigger one in, but then it wouldn’t fit in the house!
