Funny you say that as I was meant to pick it up yesterday, but I couldn't make it and it rained all day (lucky I got held up). I picked it up today, and it was a clear sunny day.

Anyway, here are the results:

Totally agree. I bought my 1986 911 Carrera from a guy in his mid 50's, and the other two I looked at were also from older owners. Due to the current economic climate, he didn't get what he wanted...

Unfortunately yes she knows.
It wasn't so much of a problem when I was looking, nor when I bought it. When she spends money on crap however (well what I consider crap), I just better not say...

Bought my car in guards red, as it was my favourite colour for a 911 (but I'm also sometimes stuck in the 80's ;))

Second would definately be a yellow. I saw a Talbot Yellow not long ago, and...

I always wanted the classic 80's red sports car. I started to really like GP White when I saw a couple of nice 911's, but in the end I'm very happy with the red.

Not sure - my budget will probably what they cost if I find a decent set.
I might set the Fuch's for a 12 month plan.

Soon to be (hopefully) new Porsche owner - wheels question

I have put down a deposit on this car, subject to a PPI from my mechanic.
The car is fully original (1986 3.2 Carrera), other than the wheels.

I don't mind them as is, but if I opted to go for an...

Australian Carrera 3.2 power differences

I was just wondering from you guys about the differences in driving the Aussie delivered Carrera 3.2's (pre G50 so 84-86).
I know the 84/85 cars had the 231hp, and it dropped to 207hp in '86. I also...

Over here I can get a 964 for about the same money as a good 3.2.

I did a bit more research into the engine numbers and the reason the SC felt quicker than the 3.2 is because
the 3.2 engine is the 204hp version, not the 231hp version, and the SC is 180hp plus the...
