The 993 comes out to play

Given that I work in Singapore, my 993 usually only gets a work out whenever I return to Perth for my sanity breaks. These breaks can come about every couple of months. However, the last few trips back have been taken up by time driving my little old MX5 as I have gradually been restoring it (you have to love this little ladies car... It truly is a wonderful machine!).







I can't stop sharing the love on that car.... But ok back to all things Porsche for the moment as the MX5 has been getting too much love in this blog recently...

Any way given that yesterday was Christmas, I figured it would be time to really treat the old flat six, so I went to pick it up. Taking it out again after so many months felt like unwrapping my Christmas present early... Even after close to 10 years of owning this 911 (longest car I have ever held onto)!

Unwrapping the old bird....







Ahhhh that familiar smell that only a real pre water cooled 911 emanates from its leather and plastics...



Getting the battery connected....



Fingers crossed that it starts up... (Well I'm pretty sure it will as it has done so over the last 10 years of stupidly infrequent use)...



MX5 goes into storage (both my cars are kept off site as the place in Perth does not have sufficient storage for my two cars given i stay at my parents whenever in Perth as my place in Perth is rented out)...



A quick trip to the petrol station for the weeks fuel requirements...



Then I hit the streets where I see a lovely yellow 993 in the opposite direction. Sadly didn't manage to get a picture...



Will post more pics as the next two weeks progresses (assuming I don't go back to the Mx5... Darn this weather is good!)

A wonderful New Year and a great and festive season to all....

Cheers,

Harold

 

Haha thanks mate! Yeah quite focused on which generation of porker I like.

 

Looking very seductive under the covers! What is it exactly mate. I love white 993s...
