Post subject: | FRONT ENGINED PORSCHES - THE PRACTICAL ONES |
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! Stephen |

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. Stephen |

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! |
