Cool My new Porsche

I finally did it! I bought myself a 911 3.2 -84. I been thinking about doing it for almost 10 years, but now I came to my senses. It is the most fantastic car I have ever had, the engine sound over 4800 rpm is the most glorious mechanical
sound on earth.

Best Regards

Thanks!

As a matter of fact I think Stockholm is one of the worlds most "Porsche dense" cities in the world,
considering the size of population i relation to the amount of porsches.

I was in Stockholm for five days last December, and didn't see one. But it could be that you need to go in the Spring to see the Porsches. I'll be back next May or June, I think.

Nice car Christian,
looks like it's had a few subtle mods already like the ss exhaust & nice Momo wheel.

Enjoy!

Nice car, congrats!

We don't see too many Carreras here in the US without factory air and cloth seats! Neat!

Thanks guys!

I reallt enjoy my new monster. As you pointed out there's an aftermarket exhaust and a momo steeringwheel. Next step is to upgrade the chassi, new tires and dampers (probably bilstein).

Do you have any suggestions?

Jack Olsen: During the summer you see a lot of porsches , especially in the eastern parts of stockholm (called "östermalm")

Best Regards

Christian: Good-looking, well-cared-for car! Congrats. It's hard to tell in the pics, are your wheels 7x15 front and 8x15 rear? If yes, I love that setup - we don't see it very often here in the USA. The tail and seats really look good, even the special clip for the cruise control cable is there! How many miles are on the car?

Peter Zimmerman: Thanks! Yes those are 15' wheels. The car has 126 000 km on the clock but I don't how to convert that to miles.
