well after 4 and 3 cars of years of unbroken pork ownership i have finally parted ways with my most recent, the 968 cs...

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3246621.htm

owing the looming spectre of a house move and slush fund saving for a large scale refurb, coupled with the recent addition of 2 lovely boys, time has come to part with the 2 seater toy and think about something more 'grown up' for the station run and odd weekend blat

i wont miss the car much as i always pined for the 964 since i sold it but ill miss the chat here and with your permission, would love to lurk and post inspite of being a non-pork owner! the near term replacement is likely to be a mk4 r32 but pork ownership is only about 12-18 months away after which ill be back into a 964 me hopes...

...and if anyone has a spare clay bar im still looking!!

SEE YA

absolutely this is only a temporary thing... can justify a 2 seater any more as i need to nurture 2 more petrol heads in the family!

Good luck with everything RC.
I've only just twigged you used to be Ravi944 didn't you?

That good old claybar thread eh. hehe

Your 968 looked like a lovely example. I was drooling over it in the classifieds a few weeks ago.

Just as an aside and none of my business, our work car park is like a hot-hatch show, thanks to all the young'uns.
There's a 58 plate R32 and a 08 ST3 model Focus ST with some nice bits on it. The Ford looks that bit more aggressive and sounds great thanks to the Volvo derived 5pot.

Anyway, just food for thought as they do a 5 door too.

The Ford maybe a tad chavvy but I think any hothatch can be accused of that. I love the Focuses though. My mates ST has me scouring the RS classifieds quite regularly. I don't know whether to supress the inner chav in me, or embrace it. smile
Good cars eitherway.

aye thats me! quite a memorable thread that one for reasons good and bad!!

i think its a mk4 that im looking for only because i prefer the mk4 shape and from what i read its the purer form of the r32...

ill likely get a 3 door because realistically its only very rare that ill need to get the boys into the seats in the car as my wife has a more accommodating barge!

Ah right, cool. They sound nice the R32s. That blue they come in is lovely too.

lovely car you've just sold there RC, my perfect garage would include a 968CS, if only we had the time & money for all the toys we'd like eh?

as for lurking, i went through the best part of a year without a P-car this year & still kept popping in-i think this is one of the best sections on PH as it happens.

& what's the claybar thread? sounds like it could be a funny one smile
