Basically
I'm crazy about automatics, surely I was born on the wrong continent, besides
that, my childhood dream was a Porsche 911, if you combine those two, add a 10
year of searching around for it, than the result is what you see on the pics!![]()
The rims are the cup 2 models of the later 911's, looks nice but I would
prefer 16 inch Fuchs for originality sake and to me the belong on the car.
Problem is that nowedays the free market is asking about 1000 euro's (1250
dollars) for them, so I need to do some more saving.![]()
The car did about 230.000 km (150.000 miles) has been maintained on a tight
budget by the looks of it, but all in all is a very sound example of a 911 of 25
years old. Before the Fuchs update, or is downgrade, the clutch needs to be
replaced. Also not so cheap here in Holland. But there's still hope, this
weekend I'm checking the adjustments first, if that's oke I'm going to
investigate the possibility of referbushing the plates cover.![]()
Also one of the heat-exch. needs replacing, I'm still in great doubt about
getting a complete stainless steel set or for now just replacing that right-one.![]()
I like driving the sporto very much, one adapts easy and you can either drive
the lazy way or the 62 mph in 6 sec way. For me it's enough to have it in the
second gear, after it warmed up, and then cruise around our beach boulevard and
other B-roads. Even on the highway rarely use the last gear, I love it!![]()
