Just bought my first porsche after ten years of saving and over a year looking,finally got a 1989 supersport last week.
It would take a chisel to remove the smile i have had on my face since receiving the car.Just thought i would introduce my self.Your web site is very infomative and very useful.
many thanks
Geoff

Yep, here I am.

There’s a good TIPEC crew in Central Scotland, but not many of us use the forum. If you can get along to any of the monthly meetups or the weekend events, you’ll meet everyone soon enough.

The monthly meetups are at the Bo’Ness Motor Museum around seven or eight pm on the first Wednesday of each month. You’ll be made very welcome if you do decide to go along!

If you need a mechanic for anything Brian Miller Motors in Edinburgh is a very good shout, Brian’s a TIPEC member himself.

Hi and welcome. :D The guys up here are very helpfull and a great weekend out if you can get to the events. It is worth a trip to the monthly meeting @ Bo'Ness, even if it is just to show off. Hope to meet you soon.

After driving the car for a week got the car in to Motortune in Shotts for Peter to give the car an inspection.Glad to say he reckons the car has been well looked after.Could not recommend Motortune enough.Had a few sleepless nights worrying whether i had bought a lemon or not.
