hello again

hello all just thought id drop by and say hi again not been around since about this time last year actually owned a 924 for a while but due to the fact i was planning a wedding and money was tight she had to go well im now married and i still haven't got another porker although i did buy myself another rwd German coupe as im now the proud owner of a 1978 Opel manta
thts not to say im not on the lookout for another porker though still got a craving for a 944 just dont tell the wife

Evenin'!

Looks nice and clean. And what a fabulous shade of retro gold. How did you sneak that past the missus?

To be honest she didn't have much choice in the matter really I went out looking one day looking for an astra or mondeo or summit similar an ended up going home in the manta she's a 1.9 berlinetta originally an auto but she's now got a 5spd manual very solid car the colour is actually a modern mitsubishi colour Its lowered on spax shocks an the alloys came from an mx5 I'm very pleased but like I say if the right 1 came along I'd still b very tempted by a 944

Welcome back!!

I could be wrong but didn't that car used to live near Coldstream just before the old railway bridge at Cornhill?

Bit specific I knw but I'm sure I've seen it before

Looks great though and nothing wrong will showing it on here, after all its not a real Porsche

Have to honest as well, if I could find a mint Sunbeam Stiletto I'd swap the 944!

Unless I beat you to it!! I'd settle for an Imp Californian though.

You as well Pete! They're just great, my Dad had one when I was a kid, great little cars

That would be correct mate the guy I bought it from lives just a few miles away just outside dunns so its very likely you would've round tht area and I must say it was a very reluctant sale on his part but he just didn't use it enough prior 2 me buying it, it hadnt been on the road for about 3yr I think an when it came 2b motd when I bought it apart from a sticky calliper (a common problem apparently) it only needed a bulb and some new wiper blades I've used it everyday since and even during tht bad winter we've just had she never let me down

Nice one
.

Top stuff, gotta give it the thumbsup up for using it as a daily drive, these kind of cars are meant to be driven

And if anyone ever see's one of these for sale in this colour WITH the vinyl roof please let me know!

Cool I like those I looked at an Imp b4 I got the manta but it needed 2 much work doing 2 it needed a lot of welding as for using the manta as a daily driver I'm not sure I would use it in the winter again rather cold 2 say the least especially as the heating could do with an overhaul lol

Aye drivers where certainly hardier in the 70's
