ORIGINAL: Terry Z
That was me in my red 944 - I saw both your black 944 and the grey 924. I don't usually see that many Porsches in a day, never mind all at the same place. I thought I'd stumbled on a meeting! []
Sue
Sue,
I never see front engined Porsche and I drive mine everyday!
Are you from Derby(shire)? If you're interested theres a classic car meet on at the white hart, Moorwood Moor on the 5th of April.
I only saw the 924 very briefly. Your car looks absolutely lovely.
Is it an oval dash or square dash? Also don't tell me your last name also begins with a "Z"? From your user name lol
Nicola
I'm Derbyshire/Leicestershire border, and my car is also in use daily - I've had it for 5 years and love it to bits (much to OH's dismay - he wants me to change it). It's an oval-dash model.
I'll bear in mind the meeting on 5 April. We've had various classic cars and used to go to dozens of meetings, but we don't go to so many now.
(Surname doesn't begin with Z, but the dog's name does - it was an easy way for OH to remember his username!)

Would be great to see you at the meet [
] I'm usually the only 944 in attendance!Brilliant to see another 944 being used as a daily, locally [

Sue - is yours the red one OH took to Donington end of last year?
If so, I'd keep it and spend the money on some professional tlc, looks a great car.

Mike - that one certainly looks like the car I saw [] It didn't look like it needed much TLC to me (only saw it passing though) it looked gorgeous!

It was very straight very useable but when I saw it just could have a bit of time spent on it . It may well have had it n
Now - certainly worth it.
Just seen a white 944 joining the A50 at Shadow - as usual in the van heading opposite direction!

Sue's car looks just like my first 944! [] I suppose theres always something to do on our cars ... I can think of a big list for mine, some is getting due and needs doing e.g. MOT and service. Some I just WANT to do e.g. wheels and turbo badge panel!
] I suppose theres always something to do on our cars ... I can think of a big list for mine, some is getting due and needs doing e.g. MOT and service. Some I just WANT to do e.g. wheels and turbo badge panel!Yep - that's mine!
Since the photograph, the sunroof has been replaced (old one leaking), wheels refurbished and new tyres, new brake pipes fitted, boot and bonnet struts replaced, cambelts replaced, oil/water leak on oil cooler repaired, currently fettling heater as it's decided to blow hot all the time. So, getting there slowly. Keeping the 'pink' door as a distinguishing feature - NOT! The car was at Rutland a few weeks ago with OH.
However, I'm still looking for cream seats front and rear to replace the existing badly worn ones if there are any out there.......? Been looking on Ebay for ages, but can't find anything suitable in a better condition than mine.

Have you thought about getting your seats retrimmed? Theres a guy in Ilkeston I know who would do an excellent job.
I bought some seats for my car a while back from someone breaking a 944. The interior was the only good bit as far as I can make out! So now managed to get a nice interior rather than the previous Porsche script cloth interior!

3x 944's Tref - and you weren't driving one of them[
]Was it another German built car ??
Saw a very nice clean black H plate Lux? I think at about 11.45am this morning, driving through North Petherton.
Did a wave .......... and got one back [
