Guards red S2 cabrio in Guildford centre on Tuesday, 6.45pm.

On the A3 yesterday saw this again, only this time with the roof down, highlighting that it was being driven by a lady.

There was a really nice gold G plate 944 at The Ace last night. I had to leave early, and by the time I left is was the only other 944 at the meet.

That was me! Parked next to your red lux?

Yesterday I also saw a white '44 going up the A1 at Archway, very quickly!

zcacogp : Silver Lux, reg C944-something, heading west on the Roman Road in East London, on Wednesday.

Hello matey!

That was me! Nice to see another '44 on the work run, I'll keep a look out for you when I'm round Bow

I'm very lucky to have a garage under the office where I work in Shoreditch, so I drive in most days. I'm sure you can imagine the difference in happiness levels between going to work in the '44 vs the central line!

I've seen quite a few fellow front enginers recently...a red 924 in Snaresbrook a couple of weeks ago, then a silver S2 Cabby with German plates in Epping on the same day. Friendly waves from both

Today on a blast round Epping Forrest I saw a nice black 968 coming the other way. On a related note...does anyone know any good driving roads round that neck of the woods? I've found a few bits and bobs but nothing great. Before I moved to London I grew up in Malvern which had some wonderful roads!

Cheers, sCam

Spotted a B reg 944S heading down towards the Lake in Windermere at 3pm this afternoon - it was a nice shade of Guards Pink.

georgethackray · Jun 28, 2009

After the 944S, we saw a Silver 968 Cabriolet leaving Bowness along the lake, heading towards Newby Bridge at 16:00.

Copperman05 · Jun 28, 2009

Saw a black S2 going up the A1 at Archway today, seems a good place to spot 944's...

Crumbs ... driving a 944 into the office in shoreditch, where you have a garage? What an immensely cool life! I salute you sir!

Are you coming to the garage day ... thread elsewhere?

Oli.

ETA: Great driving roads ... you need to get out into Essex. There's stuff there, or so I am told.

Or go and have a look at the Scotland thread ... now there are some awesome roads up there!

White Lux w/white leather interior (mmm, nice![

]) in Haslemere on Friday and an absolutely spotless black turbo cab in Tilford on Saturday

zcacogp · Jul 5, 2009

Good-looking grey S2/Turbo heading west along Old Ford Road, East London, at around 8.00pm this evening. Mrs zcacogp remarked that she had seen it around before, but I couldn't remember it.

(I would have waved, had I not been in the back seat of a green Scirocco!)

Black S2 driving up through Kingsthorpe, Northampton lunchtime today. Number plate looked like it said RUM, could this have been Paul Smiths other half by any chance?

Yes J reg, so must be your wife. Tell her to look out for a J reg S2 in Black in the coming weeks.[

Meanwhile some more Sussex based 944 sightings.

Church Road, Hove on Thursday, Guards Red 944 Lux with a private plate ending in "944". Nice.

Beaconsfield Road, Brigthon on Friday, another Guards Red 944 Lux, this time on a D plate.

And last night a 968 Sport in Silver being given the beans coming onto the A23 after Hayward's Heath. Was going very well.

Immaculate and I mean immaculate 1990 S2 in Maraschino red at Fox's Garage, Guildford. Linen leather, maraschino piping, orange indicators, coloured wheel crests, the real deal. Lovely.

This one? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1124266.htm

Very low red S2 or Turbo heading up M6 northbound near Knutsford, looked a bit like Eds (edh on here).

Perry used to be a 944 Register and Titanic regular and his car was simply gorgeous to look at. Haven't seen it for a few years but it was very well looked after and if my memory serves me well he had that leather interior put in by Southbound about 5 years ago

Black Beauty · Jul 9, 2009

Saw two 44s within the space of a minute today leaving Guildford, as I was entering on the road adjacent to the Spectrum, the sports centre.

First was a convertible S2 in red, driven by a gent I think as it was only a quick glance and the other was dark blue and I got a wave, but I didn't wave in time and didn't notice its spec, sorry. [

And yes I was in mine! As yes she is working again. [

I thought that when I saw it the other day but it lacks the piping on the seats and the Porsche logo on the numberplate. Shame, as had the one I'd seen been £3000 it would have been a bargain, as it really was Concours condition.
