Cheers Jim. I will have a go at some point with some of that oxblood! Although my slightly lived in steering wheel matches my new slightly lived in full leather burgundy sports seats! Very period! It does seem like Al is vacating the Porsche scene, looked that way for a bit now which is a shame. Top guy and very handy around a 944. My recently rebuilt engine may have been his last meaningful contribution to the scene which I have to say has now covered 3k miles and is as sweet as a nut! Stuart

Today I topped up the bilt hamber cavity wax, fixed a knocking noise that was coming from the wiper mechanism (it was fouling on the battery...[&:] ) and took my 8 year old neighbour out for a spin. Apparently the ferrari he had a ride In yesterday was better because it had more exhausts!

I will try to take a picture later for you. This is for an accident camera as opposed to a GoPro or similar, although it will gold a smaller camera and could be useful if you are able to invert the image (dashcams have a tripod mount on their top surface as opposed to the more usual bottom on regular cameras).ORIGINAL: craiginukOoh, pic please if you can. Bought a suction one for Bedford but is far from discreet[

Taken after sorting out all of the problems, but before I taped it all up. For some reason the car has an aerial fitted to the OSR quarter so there were two aerial cables, despite having a functioning integrated aerial which only needed a power supply.ORIGINAL: 944ScottYour centre console looks like mine at the minute.ORIGINAL: 944 man Steering wheel, which Im far from sure about. Lots of room though.
Tonight I fired her up and moved her out of the garage for a quick wash down to remove the dust she has gathered since being put away last October. Removed D90's for cleaning and temporarily fitted spare Boxster S wheels. Gave D90's a good clean ready for polishing and waxing. Dried car off ready for polishing. Going to put a list of little jobs needing done, but need to tax her and get her up to Alasdair's to get belts done. Unfortunately Boxster needs taxed aswell, and just realised tonight MOT expired on Friday. Alan.

I don't think it is quite right.... Interesting about the arial, always wondered why the reception was carp, never thought to try and put the other one up as I assumed it was plugged into the windscreen one...[&:]ORIGINAL: 944 man Steering wheel, which Im far from sure about. Lots of room though.
I like the wheel but not sure about the red. It might look ok when viewed as part of the interior when you can see the body colour of the car too. Could you peel the leather back and spray it black? You definitely should relax your hoarding tendencies and sell me that horn push you know otherwise ill be forced to buy one from PorkChop

Took it over to Germany for the weekend. Cologne on Friday and down to Techno Classica at Essen on Saturday. Sunday was Nurburgring for a few laps and then Monday waiting for new spare coil to come!. Had to fit it and then get a new battery before I could get it started again to get it back home. Not too bad as original coil was from 1987 and the battery was in it when I got it. That's given it a good workout after the winter anyway with about 2000 miles in 2 weekends.

Its quite an attractive wheel on its own in a box: the red anodised alloy is very shiny (-shiny) and the leather is better than Race models usually have. I do have a similar wheel with a grey centre but the hub is central on it so it doesn't give nearly as much leg room (the top will be in the same place but the bottom is nearly an inch lower). I was convinced to give this one a try and whilst I do appreciate the leg room, it seems far, far too small on top of everything else. With regards to the Sony stereo: getting the damned thing out was quite a struggle initially, because it would only come out using the correct removal keys which were difficult to find.ORIGINAL: Fat AlbertI don't think it is quite right....

Forgot to mention that when I first got the car you got black hands every time you drove it the wheel was so bad, so I cleaned it up and used some leather feed on it so that most of the time it was OK, but if it did get hot then it did get a bit sticky.... I see she only has about another 1500 miles on her since I sold her, I put 10,000 on the 968 and have done almost 9,000 in the XK8 since!!

Slightly off topic, but how do you find the XK8? In terms of performance, fuel consumption, reliability, servicing costs etc. I'm thinking about getting one, lovely looking cars!
