Default New here, so thought I'd say Hello

I came here via a thread on the Porsche Club GB forum about IceShark's light cannons (that's some piece of kit.)

Anyway, I've not had much time to look through the forum so in the meantime I thought I'd introduce my car

It's a 1990 S2 which is standard apart from a Blitzchip, ESS/Janspeed de-cat exhaust system and an ESS Induction kit.

There's a pic of the car at the foot of the post and and if you go to my web site - Northern Bloke's Car stuff you can see some more and also a small video clip showing the standard vs the Janspeed exhaust.

You can also see some of my other toys and some of the lads toys as well

Andy

Welcome!

That's a fine bunch of lads you have over there on the PCGB forum, I spend some time over there as well.

That's a good looking S2.

The absense of US market side markers is a beautiful thing... I love it.
My Euro was cut up and chunky markers were stuck on upon private import to the US... seeing your smooth black around the front and rear quarter panels is a great motivation to fill, sand, and pain those areas!

You can see those crappy side markers here:

(sorry for the low quality pic)

Cheers for the Welcome guys (and girls)

Need to get rid of those side markers Jake Would you be allowed to? And hiya Tifo, you do get about mate.

Dan, I actually bought the car off eBay, but only because the guy selling it lived 5 miles from me, so you may have seen it on there.

As for that BDA Scott, last time it was valued the AVO Club put it at £20,000 - it is a serious piece of kit - Big Dave has now emigrated to New Zealand and he took the car with him, along with his new MK2 RS2000 with 330bhp Cosworth Turbo. He's spoilt that boy.

BTW did anyone notice my cousins Shelby on the web site - I've been trying to get him to sell but he's having none of it. Besides, the family in the States have told me I'm at the back of a long queue if he ever does.

I've been meaning to visit so when's this 944Fest - could be the perfect excuse

Bye for now
