Two Red Coupes

[BelperJim]

944 is my Dads and is immaculate. Celica is my new daily.

Thanks for looking!

Your dad has taste

Your dad wins.

And not just because I have a shiny red F plate 944 outside. No, he wins for other reasons that I cant remember right now.

[soad]

Nice, both look good to me.

Whats the power output figures for the celica? Always liked them....

[BelperJim]

Mine's only a 140 bhp but there is a 190 bhp version aswell. It's fine for commuting and still good fun on a b-road blast. Tbh it's not much slower in the real world than the Porsche.

I prefer the Celica personally. Very nice!

The considerably older porsche makes your car look pink! Shame on you!

[BelperJim]

My phone camera is utter toss in reality they are both very red.

The 944 is Indian Red, it's more a orangey red.

[BelperJim]

Mine is chilli red.

It's hard to get both reds correct in a picture from a phone.

Thanks for the comments.

The porker is Guards Red and Jims Celica really is pink, a really gay pink type of pink.

Interesting to me ... I started looking for a newish car recently and started with Celicas (having owned a couple of older ones) and then decided I wanted to buy something "more classic" so started looking at 944s. Got very close and then echoes of my schooldays took over ... so I bought an XJS.

Three very different cars but I think I'd have been happy with any of them for different reasons .... especially since the starting point was a Fiat Bravo ...!

I see your two celias and raise you two red coupes which are somewhat swifter.

The v8 was significantly slower down a decent bit of road.

nope, it's Indian Red, unless you had it resprayed and the sprayer didnt check his paint codes properly

guards red was discontinued in the mid 80's.
indian red replaced it but it had the same paint code
this is why my car used to have a mismatching door and wing
