Headed to Scottsdale 3/3 to double my P-Car collection, anyone for a beer that nite?
 
I'm flying in the afternoon of 3/3 to complete the purchase of my new '91 928S4 wasserpumper. I'll be ready for a couple of drinks early evening-any takers? I see there's a PCA race at PIR that weekend, but I'll be leaving town to head home very early on Saturday. Gonna try to make 1050 miles in one day.

14 -15 hours or so on the road is not that bad of a trip. However, there will not be that much to see along the way. Desert and more desert....

But the fun will be in your new car....Travel safe

Looks like a nice 28. I would like to get together for a beer but will be doing final prep on the car before PIR. You should think about staying another night and go to PIR. Afterwards there will be beer at my house.

Good luck with the purchase.

I wish I had the extra time to stay. That would be fun to head out to the track for the races. I've got a DE in the 911 myself this weekend, and too much work next week, so I'm anxious to get back home and ogle the new ride.

Have fun, and keep the blue side above...

if you hafta do 1k+ miles in a day, that is the correct car to do it in! it looks fantastic! is that car a stickshifter?

efhughes3 02-22-2006 08:42 AM

Thanks Vash-it's an automatic! The ultimate cruiser. I'll keep my right arm excersized in the Targa.

Thats a great looking 928, in my youth i poo poo'd the 928 but over the years I have come to appreciate the car.

Never really understood why the 928 was disco'd. It was the ultimate P-Car cruiser for highway travel and very comfortable.

Alright Ed....Tell us what you have planned for for "Tibby"

Chrome the wheels maybe?

Well, I promised the wife that this one wouldn't be "worked on" like the 911. But, I do see wheels and a Rear Muffler Bypass in the near future...

Maybe a "little" suspension work down the road...;)

I like Cup Wheels on those bad boyz ! Just my .02.

928's Rock, I love your new ride. Any interior pictures?????

bigchillcar 02-22-2006 09:20 AM

great car! if those wheel are original, i'd be in strong favor of keeping it classic..don't change a thing, it's a classy cruiser.

Ed, I had an 89 S4 and thought it was a great car. Stranley, it had wheels and a RMB. You will love it!

Cheers

saw a pewter colored car yesterday with fikses! really hot!

Joeaksa 02-22-2006 11:09 AM

Ed,

Still overseas now but should be returning on the 2nd or 3rd. PM me when you head out of DFW and will see if I am back.

Need a place to stay on the night of the 3rd? Got an extra bedroom if so!

Hey Ed - I'm heading to Scottsdale tomorrow. If you need somebody to warm it up for you for a few days, just say GO. That would beat my Jeep Cherokee rental!! :D -- Curt
