[quote=snotrag]Who was it that brought the 944?

spent a fair while watching you through the back window, looked like you were having having fun.

However, your in trouble, as I got home and looked here

www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?s=81

N/A's for Similar money to the Corrado I was thinking of, and engine connected to the right wheels...

WARNING, DANGER TO THE BANk BALANCE

That looks like a beaut snotrag, go for it!

BTW, what Corrado you were looking at for similar money to £5,750 yikes and was it gold plated and encrusted with gems?

Make that 3. I'm going through an identity chrisis at the moment, can't decide what to change it to. Hot racer sounds pony!


I'd go for HotWheels ... the one with the orange track yes much preferred it to the yellow Matchbox version



Well, after much deliberation, i've decided on a moniker. I toyed with 'Top Gun' and 'Predator', two of my all time fave movies, and 'Animal', but thats my cars nickname, so i decided on 'The Devil', which kinda suits me, as i'm horny, dirty and cheeky all at the same time!

Problem is, you have to be comfortable with being inroduced or introducing yourself to people by your nickname ... and not feeling a bit silly when you do ... "Hi, I'm The Devil .... huh? hey, come back! Where you going? "

hehe

Personally, I can't believe HotWheels hasn't been taken ... I might bag it and auction it off

Get Glyn O'Donnell involved Guy - he'll get some zymol on there to make sure the dirt is actually suspended in the air 1 micrometre away from the paint surface!

I've shown Glyn the picture of my car - he laughed..... and also said it's ok to leave the dirt on for a few days, phew!

confused there's no one by that name if you do a members search in the directory.

Maybe ask Ted if it has actually been taken?

That would be me and yes, I was having enormous fun. The Michelins are new on the backand while grippy as a grippy thing in the dry seem to be dehydrated Teflon, which is interesting... Cue much sliding around the dieselly streets of London village this week.

Look around, as 944s really are stupidly underpriced for the metal you get, but dont ever be under the illusion that you are getting a cheap car. Yes, you lose the depreciation, but my Turbo was the high side of 44K in 1989, and the parts are appropriately priced. Mind you, there's a great network of indies and when one gets broken, the rest of the community generally benefits.

Anyways, great to meet everyone, and thanks again to Oliver for organising. Well done that man..

I would really strongly advise the 924 series of cars, seriously start by looking at 924 and move forwards from there, the 924s is effectively a 944 in a 924 body, the entire series is very under rated, to compete truly with a corrado I would look at a 3.0 S2 944, and price wise not silly at all!

my paintwork is fine and had been clayed, machine polished, heavily waxed in pure carnauba wax and sealed only a few months ago. (using the meguiars pro range and PC polisher) - im a bit of a cleaning/detailing addict.
i dont really like zymol stuff.. its just all hype because they have that really expensive wax.

go outside and run the back of your hand down your paintwork and see what it feels like.. on my doors behind the front wheels it feels aweful.

Bloody hell, I did wonder what that smell was every so often and then James pointed out that he could hear a noise coming from your car....

And no worries about the tip for the deflectors, thanks again for the lift... Maybe I'll drive next time
