Are you still coming up to Porscheshop Mas?

Drive both a 968 and 944. They both drive quite differently despite being similar cars under the skin.

I have driven both now , obviously I've owned and enjoyed a turbo and test driven a 968. I love them both and as you say they are different but great cars. I really tried hard as you can tell to have another Porsche in time for Porscheshop day but I failed :( , I think half the fun is meeting up and convoying in don't you ? so I really dont think going up in the D5 would be quite the same , its long way to go to show of your Volvo isnt it :mrgreen: . Mind you I do have a T5 estate that's quite a beast and will keep up with many a car on the motorway, not a very economical beast though heeheh.

I am hopeing to go to the Tipec East Anglia meet to say hello to some folk on Tuesday though I dont think anyone on this forum goes as far as I can tell ?

I also have my classic car show tickets so I hope to meet some TIPEC folk there too.

Regards Mas
