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

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!

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

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...
