Picked it up 2 weeks ago - enjoying it big time!

Can anyone tell me where the best place to get replacement keys (i've lost a set already including the immobiliser key -doh)

Congratulations I hope you have a great time with it.

You can get key blanks from most of the Porsche aftermarket places that advertise in the magazines as well as from OPC's. The best price I have seen is about £15 for a colour crested one from PorschApart.

OPC's will still supply the immobiliser key, but I know a few people who have had to wait many weeks and pay around £50 The best thing is to contact Hamilton & Palmer in Sevenoaks on Tel: 01732 760022 , Fax: 01732 760033, who can supply one for £21.15 inc vat once they have read the code off your key.

I got a new immobiliser key from the OPC (they succed the code out and sent down to a 3rd party)

Cost £17

Sometimes (not often i admit) the OPC can be pretty good.

Side repeter including bulb £2.50
Rear koni M030 shocks £70 each

Clock £250 doh!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, have you got any pictures? I only got my 944 a couple of weeks ago but still haven't had chance to take any pics yet.

They really are fantastic cars. What colour is yours?

Major congrats, I drove mine into the office today at 110-mph for a short burst, of course it was on a rural stretch of interstate highway cowering behind a V1 after rush hour had already passed.

Listening to the howl of a S2 at speed is a beautiful thing, and by the way, this car gets to 100 rather easily.
