Cleaned The Cars Today

[rawkyjnr]

Cleaned and polished the 928 for the first time in months! I'm sure it won't be as good as some, but it looks the dog's to me!

Looks great mate.

Jeez, how long does that bonnet and engine bay look in the the 3rd picture! Awesome.

[GreatGranny]

Beautiful car.

That bonnet & engine bay is massive!

Looks lovely, love the look of the 928, what are the maintenance costs like?

[HAB]

Rear looks fabulous with wiper and badge delete!

928 gets better looking with every passing year imo.

[soad]

Stunning motor - mini looks good too!

Exactly what I was thinking

Great to see the later facelift rear end without the spoiler too.

Urrm well it's a large debate, as it depends whether you do the "big" jobs like Timing Belts, etc. I have averaged about £800 a year so far. I did the timing belt as soon as I got the car because the water pump seized.

One thing I can say is that the amount of help in forums and websites on the internet for these cars is overwhelming, nothing can't be solved by some of the experts out there!

You know, you two are the only two people we've come across yet who like it! It's a GTS rear bumper which wasn't original.
We went to a car show at Harewood House with the PCGB 928 Register, and no-one had a nice thing to say about it! Shaking heads left, right, and centre! - Purists

De-winged it looks alot more mature, and much curvier and wider! We won't be putting it back on for sure!

Is that a retouch of the photo above? How did you get rid of the hose reel, or am I missing something? Looks very good, think I might have a play with some of my photos.

What a brilliant looking car.

I too think it looks great!

I spent a whole Saturday detailing my mate's silver 928 GTS the other week - gorgeous cars!

[shalmaneser]

I absolutely love these cars. One of the groundsman at uni has got one and it sounds awesome in an old school muscle car kind of way. When I spoke to him he wasn't too keen on the petrol consumption though - although his is an auto.

[Mini1275]

Porsche looks great, is it your mini?

[theironduke]

Lovely 928 mate!

Makes me little sad that im selling mine

Changed The Thermostat Today

I changed it due to the fact that I think the car is overcooling, and when I got in there all of the gaskets were hard and crumbling, so I suppose it was good practice change it.

On a lighter note, the thermostat which came out had "Made in West Germany". This settled any debate that the part was or wasn't original.

Hopefully the car will warm up faster now!

Cheers
