OK, Don't Hate Toooooo Much!

Just bought a '93 968 Ragtop. Finally got the SC almost perfect, but she will be going bye-bye soon. Just not the kind of guy that can never have too many cars. Out with air, in with water. Don't hurt me too bad!!!

BYE-BYE



HELLO

I've caught myself staring at 968 cabrios, too! And as a Targa owner I'd be interested to hear your comparisons of the two.

Well done Westy. Not a 996tt but better than the 996 carrera option. I think you picked a great midline. 968s are nice cars. I wouldn't mind a cabrio.

Matt, I came real close to buying (the other) Matt's Polar Silver tt. Afterwards my wife and I talked, and I think the best thing I did was not buying a tt. Just tooooooo much friggin car for these aging reflexes and a heavy right foot. Common sense is about all I have left!!!!

Great looking 968 Westy.....was watching that auction on BaT as well! Congrats!

You gonna sell the SC on BaT? People have been having pretty good luck on there with their 911's it seems!

I'll offer it up here for a few weeks, and if it doesn't sell, I'll go to BaT. I still gotta do the visors, and turn the rotors. I might wait til spring unless someone contacts me with cash. My wife likes cash! (Of course,,,,so do I)

Congrats! I sold my SC earlier this year and replaced it with a 968. No regrets, it's a fantastic sports car.
