1st pleasure trip - the local beach

Sat on the seafront eating chips in the 24 with the misses. Her first trip in the car

I like this pic. One for next years calendar methinks. Assuming there will be a next years calendar of course.

And perhaps more importantly, what did 'er indoors think of the Toofah?

She didn't say much but quietly observed. Smiled when the electric aerial popped up. Quiet approval I suspect.

One of my colleagues at work raved about it, was positively foaming at the mouth. Kept opening and closing the passenger door saying 'listen to that quality'

Great pics.

We use mine as family car. My missus has a brand new Mazda 2 but always maintains the toofah is much more comfortable than the Mazda.

In Londinium at the moment with her and both kids ... Yep, we used the 924 to get here.

You do some miles in yours Ian you'll be catching up that Felix chap on the 924 OC forum!

Funny ... I enjoyed owning one and working on it (nice not to find rust too often on an old car) but never really enjoyed driving it. A bit too heavy and stodgy. As soon as I tried the GTI again I knew the 24 days were over for me.

I believe cars are for driving. Never owned a garage queen. I've stuck 40,000 on the Boxster since buying in 2010.

The 924 seems a reliable beast by nature. If I get 2-3 years of (nearly) every day motoring out of her, I'll be dizzy with happiness!

I love taking the '24 places. Generates conversation and turns heads wherever we go. The Boxster seems ordinary in comparison and just seems to attract interest from asbo's driving Subaru. My favourite moment was in the week when I picked my daughter up from orchestra. All the lads spotted me pull in the car park and leapt out of their seats. One shouted "look at that car from the olden days!" .... Completely trashed their practice apparently ...

another nice shot from the local cicket club...

I'd forgotten just how smart they look in white.

Yes really must pull my finger out this year and get the calendar going again, still kick myself for not making one available this year.

I always thought white was great on these cars as well, why I went for a white '44 after the white '24S

dont thing you can dress a focus estate up in any possible way to make it look good to get in the calender.

Oh I don't know Andy, everything has potential.

White looks great on everything .... fridges, dishwashers you name it:lol:

 Great advert. It's all about the cruising in the motor you love

Oh I don't know Andi, recon you could try a yellow version of this.....

Not much going on here tonight, so did a little mock up for ya

Don't think its yellow enough though

Oh my!

I think you need to lose the blue.

I was thinking that but what to change it to!

Could be arsed to much mroe than dilute the colour, but thought what the hell yellow wheels, yellow fogs.....

Your banana is going green at the edges .... never a good sign!

As long as the rest of his bits don't go green he should survive.

And don't worry if you're nose falls off you can always get a wax one
