They're getting more and more rare in good condition. Mine's never been modded at all.

^ I looked at getting one of those as the replacement for my MX-6, would love to find one with low mile and unmolested.

^Nice ride Mr. Monsen. Looking at the list in your sig you needed a sedan.

Now clean those gutters!

Oh I know. There's a guy in my town that has one...I think even the same color. And it sounds as WONDERFUL as you'd expect.

I tell ya, if I had your stable to drive there'd be a lot more than just gutters to clean around the house.

Was supposed to be a quick flip for profit, but **** if I didn't fall for it. Participating in dangerous games of hoping the motor doesn't decide to shell randomly

You're quite right. It has that unquantifiable "rightness" and feel to it that we bang on about in the sports car world.

I had indifferent feeling towards Porsches for the longest time. Always felt that what you got was not worth what you were paying. As things go, once I had some more experience around the cars my thoughts were corrected. Having done an increasingly decent amount of work on them recently too, have to say the build quality is overall quite impressive. Sure the shortcomings of the M96 are laughable, but mostly the cars seem solidly put together. I have my reservations with German cars, and am certainly not quick to praise them unless warranted.


PS: Would LOVE to see pics of the newer additions to your collection.

Good!
Almost! 308 GT-LINE, meaning it looks like a sporty version, but only has the 1.2 turbo 3cylinders.
