Porsche 944 S2 indepth
 
Well, the pics were waiting in line for quite some time now, but never got around posting them after the accident. The car is now gone, and despite the terrible memories related to it, it was the best car I ever owned and would be hard to match its pace, its perfect dynamics, practicality and sexyness.

100% reliable during the 20'000 km I did with it. And much less expensive to run than my A4.

What is your drive now Matteo ? Audi A4 ?

TT 09-15-2007 04:54 AM

Well, my daily drive (almost 5'000 km since I bought it less than 2 months ago) is the Ducati Monster. I used it every single day since I got it.
Second comes the Porsche 964 C4, used mostly to visit my girlfriend in Lausanne, but lately, just to attend the Porsche gathering in Interlaken.
Lastly, when I need more luggage space or to carry more than two people, comes the Audi A4 B5 2.8, but the other day I discovered it has a flat battery since I didn't touch it anymore :roll:
But Monday things might change as I'm on a run to get another funny little and affordable Porsche :).

My dad just bought a Fiat 126 aswell. We're putting it back on the road and I'm sure I'll steal it to him quite often. I drove it the other day and it's mighty fun!

sorry about that

TT 09-15-2007 05:51 AM

There was a huge topic back in December. The crash happened the 16th while coming back from the Bonhams auction in Gstaad. Huge crash with another car, wasted the 44 but most important, lost my best friend, who was sitting beside me :(

Awesome pics TT! I always wished my 944 was an S2

Igorionia 09-15-2007 07:30 AM

carguy_88 09-15-2007 09:04 PM

love th3 944. thanks for this :)

TT 09-18-2007 02:46 PM

Well, it's actually a 914 2.0, red, US.. I testdrove it yesterday and it's fucking perfect for what I like... old (1974), light (900something kg), gorgeous and pretty rare...

Sadly there are some details in its history that needs to be cleared and could let me to a "no".. the counter says 7600 km, but there are infos in the service book and such that shows the car at least reached 117'000 km up to 2006... maybe they took to 0 the counter when a new engine was installed? Maybe when it was fully restored? Maybe they just switched the miles counter with a km one...
The car seems very well kept, both inside out, but before taking a decision I need to know if the engine is new (and tranny and such) and if it was ever in an accident (the bonnet doesn't seem to perfectly fit the other panels...)

Will take a decision soon I guess...

^^lol i definitely didnt always love the 914, when i first saw it in Need for Speed Porsche i thought it was butt ugly... but lately, i do indeed think they're gorgeous :D they really have this romantic atmosphere about them, of good old innocent driving pleasure
