Regarding mocking 924, you do realize that you are no different than igorant 911 guys who see 944 and 968 as lowlifes? Gee, grow up. Odurandina is especially obnoxious with his diletant attitude because he FAILED getting Porsche engine to be fast and reliable and now promotes V8 usage everywhere. My 924 will eat your V8 alive lol, what a moron.

For the reference, I have 924's, 911, owned 944's and 928's unlike most of the bragging noobs who think they are center of the universe with their first Porsche, 944.

On the 928 forum, we're talking about a Craigslist ad that has a GREAT bargain on a 928. The pictures in the ad are of a car currently owned by a member of the forum!

You talkin' to me? You think I'm mocking the 924? My first ride in a Porsche was in my aunt's 924 when I was in grade school.....about 30 years ago. Needless to say, I was hooked. You keep up the good work. Maybe someday you can afford the membership fee.



OK, back to the story. Tim just got a reply and called me with all the dirt. The woman imported the car from Paris France about 10 years ago and never got it registered. I told poor Timmy to jump on it. He, of course, thought I was talking about the woman.

I was mostly referring to odurandina.

Good to hear that you allow me to stay here. Can I pass your approval to Duke and Olli Snellman also, they apparently also cannot afford the membership fee?

3. and with this confident assurance, odurandina buys his first 924 to go REALLY FAST and beat on until dead.

Not sure, but if you went through the hassle of importing it from France then never registered it....it could be a real time machine. ....or it could be rat infested and rusted through. Never know.

And guys I'll take Allen, OD as we call him in P&C, over much of what I see here. He post honestly, friendly, informatively, and makes John's head explode. What more could I as for? I've never thought anything he posted was a personal attack. At least we know he isnt a communist.

Perhaps in technical forums (OT section excluded) a bit greater percentage of posts that actually have some technical content?

But of course you have difficulties assessing the content because a quick browse through your latest posts showed that the percentage of useful information (other than "nice colour", "love it", "google it" etc) did not exceed 2-3%.

And yet both of you have managed to post TENS of thousands of posts over few years of which most are useless. Diagnose would be the same as odurandina's: verbal diarrhea.

Who cares? It's not like anything you've contributed in this thread is technical. If it annoys you that much, just don't browse here. Not trying to be an ****, but come on man...

I resemble that remark. Lets face facts, there is a reason I'm not on a Ferrari or even 911 forum.
That said, if it's been sitting for 10 years it's going to need a ton of money to get it going again. Some on this forum would possibly call it a candidate for a V8 swap.

So as long as anybody points an attack at a group it becomes ok? Interesting..considering the background...

Whats that about the communists? "funny joke"?
For some reason my understanding of your reply is that you're somehow trying to be mildly offensive to me and Raceboy...If thats not the case, please explain why not...however i think you do, and as a reply i'll quote our forum coleague: I realize that history or geography is not your "native language" so I understand why you're confused trying to "stealthfully" call us communists..but you missed a bit.

Valid point in a way, but wouldnt that make evey guy who does this a bit of an ignorant?


To be at least a bit on-topic: if the car has been stored inside it might be a good find..if not...probably not worth looking at. Anyway if it sat for a long time...it will probably need more money in parts that its worth as a car at the moment.

Ok, let's back up a second. Allen ownes the brain trust on The Cold War, FEMA, JFK, and the like. My commie comment was about him, was it not?

I dont give a rats **** about the rest of you. Can we simply focus on the car or shall we keep comparing man parts?

The car is a collectible, nothing more. Its an oddity. Someone needs to add it to a collection, not put it on the street. The sad part is that i see more 924/944/928 at Pick-a-Part than on the street. If it wasn't for Lart, there would be no front engine water cooler Porsches from that era left on the street.

Now if we could just get some photos of the actual car.
