Hi all...

I don't want to make myself sound too daft, but just browsing the forum which I spotted in GTPorsche magazine this morning. Really looking at purchasing a late 1980 911 Carrera and finally have the funds to purchase one after several years of saving. So really just want to do as much research as possible before I go on the hunt

I hope I don't buy a lemon! Hi all

Welcome to the forum.

The best advice I can give anyone looking for a Porsche is to pop along to their local Regional club night, talk to the guys and get a feel for the cars and what to look out for.

On the website there is a tab for regions which will give you all the details.

Any questions you may have please ask.

hello and welcome, as sean says pop along to a regional meet, local cars for sale are usually known to the members

Hi and welcome from me :wave:

As mentioned get along to some club meets and events and I'm sure you'll find the info you need, may even give you some ideas on other models.

Don't buy a lemon though, never been a good colour for any car :lol:

That sounds excellent, could do with a low down from a Porsche enthusiast. Will take a look at the Regional club night meet also.
In regards to Lemon, never been a fan of that colour either :lol:

Thank you for the warm welcome gents

Hi Gaz

Whereabouts are you located?

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris, I'm located in the Bristol area. Unsure if it's a few of you guys but I often see quite a group of Porsche's at the Compass Inn car park, just off the Bath junction of the M4 motorway

Nah - I've sorta been "out of circulation" for over a year but the interest has now been revived, thanks to the folks at South Central.

Cheers

Actually.... just a thought but there is a Bristol chapter of TIPEC. Have a look in the Regions area of this forum... could be just the thing you need to get started.

Cheers
Chris
