[QUOTE=carreraclubsport;5175402]@ Carlos: I got your pm, so no worries, I'm waiting patiently If the image is big enough I might make a poster out of it and hang it over my bed (not sure what my girlfriend says though....)

@ Anthony: It's an auto. Only 67.000 kms/42.000 mls. Arrives in Norway Thursday or Friday, have only seen pictures so far, so I am a bit excited. Hope it's as good as I've been promised! My first 928 (S4) was sold on the 1st of March last year, had a '87 3,2 Carrera Coupe for almost a year now before switching back to the world of V8.

@ Edward: I'm tempted to call it a 964 RS with Turbo, someone might arrest me on this one. The specs are available earlier in this thread. 80 cars built, 380 hp, light materials (doors, glass, bonnet, spoiler...) If you ask me, I'd say the Turbo S is the most beautiful 964 ever, second place 964 3.8 RS. Hope it's ok to post a couple of pictures of my dream car no 2


We frown upon posting pictures of beautiful cars around here.

I agree these are some gorgeous cars.

Best luck with the GTS another great looking car. As far as V8's go the GTS still ranks high on the list of all time great GT's. Don't think you will be disappointed. Looking forward to your post on the shark side. LOL

I'm pretty sure that's not a turbo S, it's been talked about on here before - it's got an aftermarket bodykit and may even be a 930. I know there's a black RHD flatnose turbo S in the UK, it was featured in Total 911 a few years ago and I saw it at the September Goodwood breakfast meeting.

Is this flatnose genuine?
It has a very unusual interior. Red with white piping is more 930 than 965

Christian, the Nick Faldo car was a 3.3S (non flatnose) with black intorior with red contrasts. I also have some pics of that, but poor quality. But maybe he had several cars...

Tim, I will try to dig out some photos of you in your shorts and post them for all to see

Yep it's definately genuine - as I said this very car was featured in Total 911 a few years ago.

Yep re. Nick faldo's car being a 3.3 S - I saw it at Gmund's too!

Re. the shorts - don't you dare....

Sorry, my bad. Tha car in the pictures above was in total 911 in October 2005 if the reg plate is: L112 SES



Remember to have read about Nick Faldo's cars (he also owned a 959), but must have mixed up the cars.

EDIT: Just what tjr said half an hour ago. Off to bed....

In my opinion the faltnose is the most hideous car Porsche has ever built. It looks like a Gemballa!

I think that is a bit harsh. I am assuming your referring to the original avalanche model. That was one ugly car.

I am not a flatnose fan myself. The 930 flatnose will never be a car I fancy although not my taste it still is a unique look. I have to admit the Flachabu in person is an amazing looking car. Pictures never seem to do it justice. Especially the entire back end and tail are fantastic. The slope nose of the flachbau is not straight across like the 930's it is more like a 993/flatnose combination. I think if you see one in person your opinion would be less Gemballaish and more in favor.

I still prefer the stock look but would not pass one up if I had the opportunity. IMO the best looking 965 is the ROW 92 S or the US 94 package car. Tough call. But to each their own.

You are right - the 924 is even worse!
