No More Mileage Bragging....

[Fat Albert]

..some of you will be relieved to hear!

my old 230,000 mile 944 Turbo is heading off to a new home this week, where she will have some love and attention and be turned into a stunning track car

To step into her not so dainty shoes my new 968 Sport arrived today; full factory MO30 spec and a mere 99,000 miles! In Guards red that is red, so will put a lot of effort into keeping her this way

Very nice Jeremy. Seeing them together the 968 does look a whole lot newer.
Black wheels are growing on me.
But you are going to miss the booooost

You have to say, even with design origins going back to the 1970's, these still look fabulous cars.

If you see a 928 alongside a Panamera, you do think that Porsche's "one shape fits all" philosophy is ill-judged.

But they make shed loads of profit, so what do I know.

TWG will be downgrading their pension plans .

Looks very nice, I skipped the 968 so might have to go back for one.

Congrats, loving the 968. Would have been interesting if you had ran the 944 for another 70k. Anyway, enjoy the new motor.

Thanks all, I was sorely tempted to fix the oil leak and the couple of other issues that the 944 has and then see how far she went....but I was getting ear-ache about old/high mileage it was and then of course it did break down on me last week for the very first time, so TWG got to charge me £338 for fitting a new Crank Sensor!
But even my Wife had to admit (unprompted as well) what a good car the old girl has been, and that I have never had such a reliable car

I will miss the boost and the effortless progress that low-down grunt gives you, but I am sure I will enjoy the 968's solid chassis and revvy engine!

I will happily post the odometer reading for those interested whenever I mention the car in future!

[Fat Albert]

Thanks GC8, I expect to be notified when she hits the Quarter Million mark, I will pop up and crack the bubbly

Looking good!
