Don't have a 4.0, but do have a track 944

[ravon]

Today at The Gold Track Silverstone in iffy conditions, I think I experienced the most joy I've ever had from driving a motor car. Fellow Pistonheaders, you simply don't need to spend a hundred plus thousand Pounds to enjoy driving ecstasy. There is something magical about punching way beyond your weight in a humble car, and if any car flatters an enthusiastic amateur, it's a track modified 944. My car is home built, with lots of beautifully made American suspension components, some re valved Koni Sport dampers, and various other bits purchased as they have come up for sale in the PH Porsche Parts columns over the years, total cost to date around £15K . For that sum, I've had five years of fun all over Europe doing track days and racing, it's even taken me to a podium at Spa. It's no 4.0, but the pure joy given it's worth so much more to me than just buying this months greatest, greatest . It's still possible to enjoy magnificent track motoring cheaply, and in the right conditions give the greatest a run ( for much more, than just money can buy ! ).Finally my great thanks to the boys at EMC Motorsport who recently re sharpened my amateur spannering, providing yet another jump in performance ( cheaply ) .

Yes, I'd love a 4.0, but would it bring me anymore joy ?

I suppose we could turn your argument on its head, and say that you have wasted £13k when you could have bought a Mazda MX5 for a couple of grand?
