it was just to talk about my car. Spent 10 mins explaining about the car then they left with the final words "you should really drive a bit faster with that car!".

Nice surpise for a change as I'm normally paying them speeding fines smile

"So next time we can hit you with a larger fine and impound your car!!" hehe

I still have no clue what the bib in Bahrain do!? Also dont think there are any radars here!? Unless they look like date trees!!

nothing too fancy just a 928 S4, which makes a change from most of the modern cars on the road over here. I've spent the last six months restoring it, however, it back to the garage this week for an engine misfire, hopefully soon I'll be able to use it as a daily drive.

Nice. Am a big fan of those as well and toyed with buying one about 6 months ago.

To be fair most of the 928's out here are in quite poor condition and need at least the purchase price again to bring up to standard. There is a 1993 GTS ex saudi royal car with every option that is slowly going to waste at the Used Auto Centre for 40k, but it will need at least 20k of work to bring up to standard, it would a good save, but the light purple colour is not to everyone's taste. There is also a 1990 S4 black for 35-40k with a GTS rear lights but the interior is knacked and not worth the hassle.

Ideally you want a late non sunroof model, manual ROW car, not US spec, but these are very rare. Mine is a non sun roof ROW spec car but auto, after 1989 it was a special order not to have a sunroof.

I was tempted by this one - http://www.specialtysales.com/1988-porsche-928-s4-... - from the same site I got my 911

Down on power compared to a ROW car, I know, but looked to be in great condition for the price
