yeh, but I looked cool in the air, & now I can sing soprano

 

Lol, that is one of the funniest things I have ever read on Rennlist.

 

My first car, when I was 17... air-cooled, rear engined 2+2 coupe...


Then it was 1978 VW Golf GTI (MK1), then Ford Escort XR3i (no pics) and then Opel Kadett GSi:


Then Audi Avant RS2, VW Passat Variant VR6, and then 1991 Carrera 2 type 964:

 

Here are my last 2 fun cars, a '97 E36 M3 4 door followed by an '03 Boxster S.

 

911 cabrio same color combo - from 87 to 95...

 

Here are my past rides starting with most recent...actually just sold my NSX to a collector in Hong Kong.

I've always loved the 993 and now I'm on the hunt for one. The NSX's have been cool but gained lots of attention. Very reliable if you get yourself a well maintained car but horrible and frustrating if you have a car needing repairs. Same story for most cars I believe. The S2000 was brilliant and my daily driver but became too impractical so I grabbed the Jeep SRT8. It was great as a daily driver but when this economic crisis hit I had to liquidate everything to keep cash in the bank and be debt free...still is a chance of being made redundant.

So...my only car for now is a rental Yaris until I can nab my 993. Can't wait!

 

No pictures on this computer, but when I stumbled across the C4S I had the '92 C4. Also RS America #2, which was (theoretically) going to replace wrecked RSA #1. And the '73 RS clone racer. Chronologically before that was a '74 into 930 bodied, 3.6 engined thing. The perfect '79 SC with either a 3.0 euro, 3.2 or 3.5. A '77 into a near authentic 3.0 turbo. Various slope nose hack jobs on unloved and dying 2.7L cars. And eventually that takes me back to '80 when I got the '68 911 that turned into a '74 IROCish clone.

We'll forget the few 914's and (ugh) front engined water cooleds that dropped in my lap along the way.

And personally, except for a couple of pickups to tow with in the past 15 years, until I was about 40 I'd only had a couple of Sciroccos as a teenager/college student other than Porsches.

 

Once upon a time...
Raucous and inspiring. Cannot forget this power box.
Taught me how to drive really fast.
Shouldn´t have sold it !!!
Worth today at least the triple money I got for it.




Once upon a time... Part two
The car with the best handling I know, until today !
Curve speeds were unbelievable,
on the track you could decide whether to overtake in bends from the in or outside.
Still thinking what an idiot I was when I sold it.
Was one of only 64 built homologated.
Btw, I´m talking about the car on the left, the right one wasn´t mine.

 

1987 911 SC

 

And the new owner of my 1987 and I met up after the Pebble Beach Concourse in a Starbucks parking lot.

 

the last car before my 993/968 was a Caterham duratec R500

only used it on track really and it was mindblowing for that purpose
only cars that ever came past it were proper race cars or radicals





will own one again at some point















and before that the main fun cars ive had:

A few past rides. Not pictured are a couple of NSX's, couple of Ferrari 308's, Some Porsche 928's and a Carrera and Vintage 550 spyder.

 

The passion started early . . . And lately a fascination with rear engines and "carma"

 

Audi TTR: 2000 - 2005
Audi TT: 1998 - 2000 (one of the first on the streets in Germany! -> it created crowds everywhere I stopped)
Audi 80 Convertible: 1995 - 1998 (best bang for the buck, great 5 cylinder sound)
1987 - 2001: VW Polo (undestroyable - 160 kMiles with 1l engine)
1986-1987: VW Beetle (my first aircooled!)
