I have a neighbour who has one almost identical to that one, and its a lovely motor. If the price is right, and you want it - go for it mate.

The only part of me in the photograph is my finger :D

Regards the 944 - I owned a 944 S2 for a couple of years as a daily driver.

1. They are really not that sporty anymore, at best a nice GT car.

2. Parts and maintenance was eye watering and regular.

3. Their image isn't all that.

Would prefer something thats ready to go, but depending on the overall physical condition and how the seller is feeling towards knocking a bit off I may consider buying!

VTEC will be kicking in lots!

The bodywork was worse than I thought and he paint was very flat in places but it drove 100% and sounded very good.

It did indeed! And sounded excellent but used alot of petrol :(

Maybe once this snow f3cks off I will continue looking.

Given the weather trends, maybe you should be looking at something a bit more suitable as a summer car - maybe a Land Rover or a Land Cruiser? :biglaugh:
