My daily driver

....when the battery's not flat!

Thats the same colour as my 944 was, i miss it so much..

It's a nice colour and what attracted me to the car in the first place

Very nice original looking example you've got there mate.

How do you find it as a 'daily driver' and how many miles do you do annually?

just asking because i'm considering giving up the company car

Apart from the battery, which I replaced today, I've replaced the bonnet and hatch struts and the only real problem was with the wipers needing a new connecting piece. I still need to replace the sunroof gears and to re-solder the hrw connection.

I've done around 5000 miles in the year I've had it so it doesn't get a lot of use even as a daily driver.

thats a nice tidy car

I expect I'll do around 10k in the S Chris, only 2 weeks in so can't say much, especially when the fan belt snapped yesterday, but have a replacement in hand (£5.17 inc discount from GSF)

But I don't see why you can't use one of yours every day, after all they are damned comfy cars to drive over distance and the '44 and S have the benefit of PS

Couldn't agree more!

Most of you know I suffer with my back (herniated a disc quite a few years back). My '24 was the only motor I could drive non-stop to Glasgow & get out without any pain. The trips to the 'Ring were the same, no discomfort at all.

Yep, when I made the drive down to Sandwell in '08 it was a real pleasure, got out of the car feeling a fresher than I did after a 6 mile trip in the 106!!

Drove my N/a all the way to the Nurburgring 500 miles and the same fresh as a daisy when i got out, we apart from the fact i had beans for breakfast.

Oh not a good food in such a small cabin

Just think how Fiona felt..

I really didn't need to know about that.

Pete you do need to know about these things if your sharing a car all the way to Spain this year with me.

I shall bring an oxygen mask!

May be using my car yet, if you buy a '44! Buggered if I'm doing 800 miles in the back of one of them!

Looking forward to the Millau Bridge.

What are you two planning then

Romantic road trip to Spain for 2 by the sounds of it

HMMMMMMMM.

Romantic? With Rob in attendance? Do me a lemon!

Me, Rob, Mrs. Rob and Mrs. tux will be having a weeks holiday in Tossa De Mar on the way back from the 'Ring in September. Thought it might make for a fun holiday.

Sounds like a great idea, thats a fantastic drive, you going over the alps and through Angora?

There's a plan Paul, come to Porscheball and then to Spain with us. sure you could sell that one to the Mrs.
