You know me pete, I get restless.

 

This is obviously the wrong place to be confessing my ignorance... But I will need someone to enlighten me as to why there is such a following around the air cooled pcars. Maybe trackside one day, someone pull me aside and educate me!

Don't get me wrong I like the classic Porsches, but there must be more to it than just being... Well classic right?

I apologise in advance! Newbie here!

 

Speaking from not much experience and having never owned a water pumper Porsche I've found myself going back in time in perfect chronological order 993 - 964 - 911SC and 911T - in search of the holy grail 911 experience.
Just the weekend before last I was lucky enough to sample my old 964 in the middle of driving the SC over fast windy roads. They are chalk and cheese despite appearing to be the same thing to allcomers, but they are absolutely not. The 964 was faster, more compliant, easier and better all round but jumping back in the SC it was slap in the face obvious what they say about the earlier cars. Light, nimble and alive. And that's just an SC. I can only imagine what a 2.7 RS, Carrera 3.0, 911S etc are like.

 

Lol! For your penance go and spend 24 hours lurking in the 964 & 993 forums!!

And then get in Lola and go for a ride with Doug!

 

Long story short: they have a character and personality a newer Porsche doesn't have.

 

Peter, that was me giving you a wave as I went past you on the constellation Dr off ramp this morning. It's been so long I thought I'd let you know in case you thought it was a looney.

 

Cheers mate - yes I clocked it was you. Least you could do though is drive that turbo around the Shore a bit more! Hardly ever see interesting cars over our way on the commute.

 

This is interesting, was the price not lower before?

Interesting strategy! Think it was on for $63 or $65, was being offered for $60k just prior to it being listed.

 

It's late and I need to get some sleep as I start work at 3am but I've researched this a bit and have some thought and solutions. I'll reply tomorrow when I have more time. You can see my cabinets in the background of this pic.

 

Thanks Jamie, I realise it's as much about design as having a manufacturer. I'm thinking most of the install will be against the back wall. I'll find ceiling based solutions for the windsurfers and ladders. Everything must have a place.

 

Like posting pictures of ex girlfriends. The older one was better looking!

 

The blue 964 turbo has been withdrawn from TM. Anyone have the skinny?

 

Bit hard on us 996 owners Dave.. I reckon I'm sitting on a gold mine..or so my lady says

 

Perfect excuse to buy another, Phil
