    I remember you said you WERE keeping it, but after seeing this toy and you also want a 94 Turbo S, I was starting to think that you were getting rid of the 348 in favour of these 2 Porkers. :p:p

    I like it. I could do a 928 again. I had a red 928 from 1986.5 with a white/cream interior.

    They've got a good tech site on-line, too. In fact, I expected to find something similar for my 348...only to learn that I'd have to build such a web page myself.

    Lots of VW parts replace the Porsche parts for less money. Soon you'll be discovering the passenger fuse-relay panel.

    We call them "water buffalos"on the track. Just too heavy. Keep it, enjoy it, but look for a 968... Now that car rocks...

    Chris--What kind of power do they have?? Never got into Porsches, don't know much about them... Would love to have an old 911 whale tail car...

    Nice catch. The front of those 928's are very beautiful IMO. You seem to have found a really nice exampe. Looks really nice in silver too, like most German cars do. Enjoy!!!

    It wont see the track..... :D

    I think 315 bhp. I don't know too much about the 928, except I have liked them for some time. I have always enjoyed 911 (all years).
    This one just fell in my lap :D Couldn't say no

    Thanks, I will try

    That's a plan




    Off Topic......

    Eugenio......Do you work on Porsche's ? :D :D :D

    Chris, I had a couple of 928S's way back when. I actually liked them as a big comfortable cruiser, chicks definitely liked them. For their time they were state of the art but too heavy to actually throw around. Cool at the time for a luxo sportscar. FYI, check the rectangular dome light next to the rear view mirror, the swivel mounts are plastic and one of them broke causing the wires to short and burning the leather headliner like a dynamite fuse, other than that no problems whatsoever. One other funny thing was I had one of the first mobile phones mounted on the center console, it looked like a regular phone and you had to dial a marine operator to get a line out........that's a roger, over and out.......enjoy

    Now you have really lost your mind let alone your marbles!!!

    Boy am I ever glad you made an excellent choice for your wife! Thank goodness you did not do extensive shopping there!

    I'll call you Saturday.

    BTW, want to buy a bridge?

    What's the deal with the MGA in the photo?

    Guaranteed he'll say the same thing as soon as that car's electrical system starts going haywire!!

    It is a pretty car, and it's in great shape, but it sure does not look like a 360 to me!

    I still think he should put down that pipe!

    1). How much for the bridge? :)
    2). He is also selling the 57 mga, fully restored, nice car. Almost bought that too believe it or not. No more spots at my home.

    I can email you pics of the mga. I took quite a few. I am probably gonna put it on ebay for the owner. So, if you wanna pull the trigger, let me know.


    Btw: do you have a pic of the bridge ??? :D

    And a harley fatboy. All mint. The only car he is keeping is the ford gt. That's covered in the background in one of the photos.

    There were also 2 dinos in the storage next to his and 7 orig porsche speedsters! What a day!
