Gathered my P-cars to take "family photo"

Since there is much less traffic on the roads and parking lots and I had a day off I undertook this with my 13 year old son who has told me for quite some time that we should do it. If not for anything else then at least it is something to remember and see after years

Two cars are missing from the photo: Dove Blue '90 944 S2 Cabriolet (getting new paint) and silver '78 911 SC widebody IROC with 2.5liter twinturbo short stroke engine (it is taken apart and waits for metal work).

Maybe the cars on this photo are still with me when others are also completed, we'll see

From left to right:
* '78 924 Carrera GT project. With flushfitting windshield like original one, 928 turn signals, fully built 2.0liter 931 engine with EFI and Evo 9 twin scroll turbo, 951 intercooler, fully renewed interior with alcantara headliner, pillars etc.

* '83 924 with dry-sleeved and closed deck 2.6liter 16v turbo engine, Holset HE341 turbo, 944 S2 LSD gearbox, 951 4pot Brembos etc.

* '84 928 S 4.7 euro "twin-dizzy", fully original except D90 wheels and VEMS PnP ECU.

* '67 911 hotrod with 2.4S twin-plug engine, ETC ITB+EFI, 915 LSD gearbox, big Brembos, coilovers, 930 steel flares etc.

You know what, I'll move it if you want, but I'll give it a pass because it is AWESOME

What is the car culture like in Estonia? Do people appreciate old Porsches, or are they into big-block American V8 Cars?

Thanks!
Car culture is very varied, everything from old Porsches/BMW's, pre-WW cars etc to American muscle to Japanese tuners.
Of course hobbyists like me are still a minority even though quite large percentage of people are involved in cars, from hotrodding to motorsports (newest WRC rally champion is Estonian btw ) and motorsports is very popular even in grassroots levels.

I second what John says....awesome collection, I like that a LOT. God I'm a sucker for a 928, and strangely, John and I were exchanging texts the other day about them....

Thanks. I bought the 928 in December just before xmas, also had always wanted one but never actually looked actively for one. But this one came up locally and I knew the history plus it is '84 euro 4.7 S twin-dizzy with 310 hp engine, first year ABS, non-sunroof and Pasha (but automatic) and 139 000 km mileage so most boxes are ticked. Plus the price was right so here it is

I love all of them, they are so different yet something is similar, can't say that one is just best. Looks is a matter of taste but I find them if not beautiful then just cool.
