Popped my 944 cherry

Just a quick hi from a new member, picked up my pride and joy (not my pic btw, haven't got round to taking any yet) three weeks ago and went out on my first club run (R30) on Sunday. She's a '91 S2 with the bridge spoiler, 17" Cup 91s on Falken rubbers, FSH and 88k on the clock. Such a great drive, although the best bit is getting in and starting her up!

Currently trying to make space in my garage to get her under wraps before the weather turns for the worse - she'll fit, but only just! Have about 30cms length to play with but plenty of room at the sides, so I'll be bolting a length of 6x4" across the back of the garage floor to stop me dinging it and then plan to spend the winter getting busy with the wax. Nothing major planned immediately other than a couple of minor interior jobs - the driver's visor keeps tapping me on the forehead, it needs a new cage for the centre armrest lid and I'll be replacing the Momo with an Atiwe Clubsport which is a bit more in keeping with the car I think. Oh, and it needs a service and an MOT so I can register it here in the Isle of Man. Expect to be kicking around the forums with a few q's when I get to the really techy stuff, keen to try and do some of the easier jobs myself in due course.

Anyhow, glad to be on board!

Cheers

Lovely. If I wanted another S2, that would be the colour/spec I'd be looking for. Enjoy!
 
Congratulations and welcome, looks a beauty. I had two or three weeks to prepare for my cars' arrival and I was brutal in chucking things out the garage to make space. If I hadn't used something for a while or wasn't worth the hassle ebaying, then it was chucked out. Very satisfying. My garage is long but narrow so I hung an old rug on the wall so when I open the door I don't get any knocks. Look forward to seeing more pics

Looks like a cracker. I'm glad you are pleased with it; the S2 is both the fastest 944 and the "thinking man's model", so you choose well.

One suggestion - don't wrap it up too well over winter. They don't enjoy not being used, and a good run every couple of weeks (perhaps on a cold but dry day, whenever possible) will keep the old girl much happier than shutting the door on her and not letting her out to play.

Well done on your purchase,looks lovely,enjoy her whilst the weather is good and then the winter polishing bit !
 
Thanks for the comments, appreciated. Current daily driver until the garage is free in the next week or so, and I still walk across the car park and turn round to have a look as it's just the coolest car on the block as far as I'm concerned.

Oli - yep absolutely, out on dry days only for a warm up and Sunday lunch somewhere!
 
Welcome Lee. Nice purchase, that looks really nice and in good condition too.

You're missing the front towing eye cover in case you weren't aware? (Sorry, I'm being a geek now!) [:D]
 
Good looking car mate. S2 is the best 944 by a long way. Don't let the turbo boys tell you otherwise.
 
S2 lads getting paranoid again [8D] looks lovely very nice spec, will you be keeping that plate on in the IOM ?

Easier for less able drivers to drive quickly. The Turbo is a good deal quicker, but its more difficult to drive quickly...

Ta. He's keeping the plate and I'd have to get a Manx plate either way once it's passed the MOT and I register it here. KMN944P is current fave from those available and it's only £100.

Those who think they are the fastest 944 post about it, is that what you mean by the "thinking mans model" Oli?
LOL
