Hi, here's my 1989 Porsche 944 S2 which I use daily in all weathers. My first porsche, brilliant car and really practical too!



And my bike which is the reason the Porsche doesn't get to sit in the garage!

Not really been tested by me as I've not seen any snow since I bought it but my other car is a BMW 3 series so it can't be any worse than that in the snow!

My new fiesta ST3, packed with everything bar the extra middle head rest.

Big step up from my Fiesta ZS which was tuned by mountune, far less noisy and more grunt.

Thank you. Was absolutely baltic and had frost all over the car. She is also exceptionally manky! Can't wait for summer for a proper drive for some epic locations!

That looks perfect for spanking around some B roads.

New Year, new garage, new car. Very exciting.

This is the first proper 'drivers' car I've had since I sold my Ur quattro six years ago. Specced and ordered last August and picked her up from Macrae & Dick in Inverness on Saturday, their first new registration of 2015.

First drive home from the dealers is better than most folk get - 125 miles across the Highlands to the far end of Skye. Awesome. I set off driving like a nervous granny down the A82 along Loch Ness. By the time I got to Glenshiel I was making some decent progress (and noise!) with a big grin stuck on my face...
Looking forward to joining in with some PH fun for the first time in years...

That's lovely - and a nice garage too!
Have you opted for the V6S or V8S? biggrin

That sounds like an excuse for another picture! Here's the beautiful back end with the V6 tailpipes.



To be honest I haven't driven a V8, but a test run in a V6S convinced me that it would be easily fast enough for me - and it sounds amazing too. wink

That's lovely. I had a V8S as a courtesy car for a week whilst my XFR-S was in for a bumper clip and to double check rear door alignment. It was a great car but it was almost too fast - i.e. it was as quick as my Cerbera but needed much less effort. On my usual roads it was hard to get the benefit from the extra power of the V8 and the well-sorted chassis and huge power just meant you went at ridiculous speeds or didn't drive it very hard. If I did buy one I'd get the V6 like yours - although maybe a manual since they're available in the range now smile

Congratulations biggrin

Got a soft spot for these! Do you know James Olley? Very similar to his before it was caged! Down to the quick shift thing!

Yep I know him, they are quite similar! I want/need his AP brakes.
