I did not think these pictures existed but my wife just found them.......my old 911 supersport
Any one own it now? I sold it to 911virgin.com about 10years ago
I want it back

but the 944 is better

I dream of owning a 911 SS or 930 one day. By far my favourite look of all 911's. But not as good as the 944 you say? Is that to do with handling, repairs or what?

Going to back to Rich, your car is so clean in the engine bay. My car is embarrassed and hiding in the shadows.

OK maybe "better" is the wrong word....useable

, I can (or would) drive the 944 everyday and love it, the 911 was less practical both great cars

Generally, practically is inversely proportional to grin factor.

Did think about it, but i like it low. Considered taking around my coilover spanners in the glove box for every time i come to a speed bump!
It's still on there but it'll have to come off as i've just insured it and getting tax at the weekend. At the moment i cant get it off my drive!

It does look good in the flesh though, i definitely need some sort of splitter on there.

O'yea then polished and applied polytol...just incase anyone see's it
