1983 Porsche 944
Discussion
I figured it was really about time I bought a car that was a bit more PH worthy. So, grab your red braces, 5kg mobile phone and Vote Thatcher stickers as I present to you my new 944.
Good points:
It's a Porsche. That means I can get a badge on my keys, which I'll casually put on my desk and mention that I thought I'd drive the Porsche to work today.
New MOT
It looks awesome. Put a private plate on and most non car people wouldn't think it was 30 years old
Since it's the 944 I won't get any "hilarious" VW van engine jokes
Runs well and is nice to drive (although would probably be outrun by most modern diesel repmobiles.
Not good points:
The windows and blower don't work. In this weather that's kindof a problem
Rev counter doesn't work either
Doubt I'll keep it for that long, but it's another one off the buckets list. What's the worst that could happen etc etc etc?

Love these, wouldn't mind having one
The fan maybe stuck from lack of use. If you can get into it, try rotating it a bit by hand and it should start up on it's own accord once some power's flowing. Encountered the problem before on my brother's old car and a friends classic. Simple case of once it's freed, run at full tilt for 10 mins and it should be ok.
