Hi sidbounce - welcome to the forum and Pork ownership. I'm absolutely sure you'll be smitten :)

Hopefully see you (and your car) at a local TIPEC meeting. Check out the home page for your local regional meets.

You'll also find a HUGE wealth of experience and help on this forum - everyone willing to advise.

Enjoy the ride.

Hi Yes, I prefer the older stuff too..Probably FRWL,Goldfinger,Spy and Moonraker are among the favorites.. I do like Goldeneye..watched it last night with the Friday beer and a chinky..the perfect end to the week! I think theres a 928 like mine, parked next to Bonds Rolls..in A View to a kill.. a very brief apperance! :D

Maybe we should rename the club??

928 was the flagship model for quite some time, so it seems only right ;-)

Goldfinger, FRWL good, but better is Dr. No, Ursula Undress yummmm, Die Another Day fantastic in surround sound & has no Halle Berry Hubba Hubba. Also On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Hi Rob :)

And welcome from another S2 owner :)

Mine is an 86 as well the "Special" year ....our cars have the S4 brakes and suspension :)

Although I have added a few "extras" lol...

If you need any help with advice on jobs...just ask as I have done most of them :)

All the best Brett :)
