Did it today. Picked up a v. nice all black '90 944 S2 Cabrio and drove it straight to a good 944 shop for timing belt replacement--on illegal plates! Sure steers different than my almost stock 2.0 Teener. Didn't goose it, as I don't know about the age of that belt, but guess it out-hussles the 914, but can't corner with it. Not sure I'll dance with this one for too long, but the $6.5 grand price made it worthwhile. And just about flawless! As the mechanic noted, speechless, I could flip it for double tomorrow, over 15g tuned and detailed. I'll use it for a season, 'till fall, and then decide if she's a keeper. I need it like a hole in the muffler, but I had to bite--won't get another crack at a real luxury GT car so cheap, even if it's just a fling. Guess my insurance will be up a bit. Haven't even put the top down yet. Should be out of the shop early next week.
Some of you probably wonder how I got the other half to approve. Sadly, Lost my wife to cancer 20 months ago. Hadn't planned to get even one, but have bought 3 Porsches in 18 months! ?Compensation? -I guess everyone always did say they're the next best thing to sex. Y'all VA-MD-ers: this makes it hard to know what to drive to what event, but see you out there. And if the 9014 isn't ready to take to Hershey, maybe I'll drive this. Now to wire in an ignition kill switch. -Chris |

About the (not) photos: my camera hasn't been talking to my computer for some time, so none yet available. Plus I drove it straight to the 44 specialist, gently, to get the belts and chain taken care of, w/no chance to shoot it anyway. Will try to rectify if I can reconcile the two electronic devices. In the meantime, you can go to eBay and put in auction # 120088672924 (now ended), a '91 which is virtually identical except mine only has the orig wheels. Anyhow, I got the papers done, put plates on it--at the shop. I'll get it back Tu. or Wed. Should be a new trip--they do steer different.
