I drove a 944 from Lubbock Tx to Costa Mesa Ca yesterday. Not a bad road car 1,150 miles in about 16 hours ... Flew into Dallas week ago last friday to see an 8 million dollar collection of cars and memorabilia sell. Like a neon Cadillac sign for $100,000 plus 10 % buyers fee. Then drove to Lubbock for the week back to Dallas for Friday Saturday at the PATE auto swap at Texas speedway back to Lubbock. Also got a couple of wholesale auctions in on wednesday and Thursday morning. Left Lubbock at 5 AM hit Costa Mesa at about 9 PM only played black jack for about an hour in New Mexico, Rt 66 Casino . And in the whole trip never saw a 928 !

 

Jim drove a 944...

DO NOT LET THIS GET IN THE 944 FORUM. Lart is watching...

 

Well, Jim's back, now the party is over!

Glad you made it safe and sound.

 

Drove the 02 Passat turbo to work today it is a MUCH better Audi FAR better GT ! now I am really BACK !!

 

Thats a nice stretch from East texas to Socal. Very nice drive.

 

16hrs? sounds like you flew back too!

 

I can only imagine the "Italian driving position" Jim must have had to assume in order to fit into a 944.

 

And about time, too. Welcome back.

No 928s in sight? I'm not surprized...
they're all laid up for the winter. So I hear. On the board.

G'luck all.

 

I thought it was spring?

 

Jeez, my week of not having any of my fubar online mistakes corrected is over.

 

Jim you crazy sucka, I drove a sweet 944 from MI to Fl, last week, it was MAGNIFICENT, of course it was an 18k mile original, now 19.5k... LOL

 

The 944 seats although the same basic frame as the 928 seat has less cushion ...that is good and bad I did tilt the seat back and forth a few times to move the pressure points around a bit....cruise mode was 80-85 MPH did get stopped in AZ for cracked windshield and weird PAPER Texas dealer plate. Officer Morury was a nice guy paced me @ 70 in a 75 zone I knew he was there I really wanted to do a "top gun " hit the brakes and let him blow by in the fast lane but thought better and resisted temptation. I thanked him for the oportunity to get out of the car and stretch did learn that the Crown Vic has a speed limiter but he would not say what it was. He patrols a 60 mile stretch of I -40 usually does 300 miles a day. Said the only Porsches he gets to ticket are Cayennes once in a while .... I got a fix it ticket that he said I should ignore.

 

This 44 has about 80,000 miles was well cared for until the last owner has a great interior nice black heated seats it may well become a track car possibly 944 Spec racer.

 

Do you have a picture of it Jim?

 

MIGHT???????????????????? The least you could have done was let us buy you a Tex-Mex meal. Shame on you for not getting in touch.
