eBay I have to say is a terrible thing and auctions are addictive and booze makes some decisions which you'd not normally make seem like the best decision at the time.


Anyway have bought a car from the bay after a belly full of beer.

Turns out that when drunk a car with no service history practically days of MOT and in the light of day those niiggly jobs are actually a bit more than what they seemed when drunk.


Car in question is a 944 S2 coupe an early one.
Certainly not the model I would choose - if I were to buy one sober it would be the 944 Turbo S.

Don't think there is any way I can back out of the deal so another steed added to the garage at least the Porsche has been added to the ownership list.

Also buying without driving it or seeing it .... Utterl madness just hope its ok else its a few bags of sand wasted (though I guess its worth more than that in parts alone so maybe a risk free purchase).

Views silly error or bloody good model to choose?

If it's not as described the cash stays in your pocket.
In the light of day the description seems pretty honest lots of facts.


Is the 944 S2 really that bad a car? I mean its no 944 Turbo sadly but are these money puts? Sills brake lines rear transaxle crumbling seats shot engine pricy clutch ad brake servo

What colour is it? A mate had a red one, lovely thing.

Nothing wrong with an S2 IMO, great handling car. They can cost to maintain though, like most Porsche.

How many miles has it done, and what sort of jobs need doing?
Moon dust grey think that's what it's called and 116k miles

Will pop it in for an MOT ASAP and if its fubar ill put it back I for sale with days of MOT remaining.

Cannot see it possible in losing too much if its only a few bags of sand to buy in the first place and at the time top of the range?

Very bizarre posts being made on this thread in general

Good job I didn't post up any links as then people would have my user name on eBay my listings my purchasing history - a very dangerous thing to be sharing (just like reg numbers).

Wow I mean just wow. I'd have to say the pics of those two dogs in a reply really was superb fun.


Have been at goodwood for the moving motor show and festival of speed entire weekend camping hence no posts.

Anyway post was put up when I was utterly smashed after a BBQ no idea why don't recall even posting it just woke up on the couch having passed out from the night before. Honestly not sure if it was me or one of the guests at said BBQ.


One chap on here thinks I have posted previously about wanting a 993 Porsche then went about slating them and other Porsches.... Um sorry not me.
Also anoter chap replied rather cross about a toilet brush thread... Very amusing really is why anyone would get worked up about something utterly irrelevant guess he/she fell for that hook line and sinker.

OK, so it was made up. Fair play for admitting it.

Next question.. why the juddering flip would you make up a story like this?
I blame too many bottles of Thatchers Katy sorry guys hands up wasn't funny.

But have been at Goodwood so not seen any of this until now.
