What an amazing looking motorcar. You are going to love spending time behind the wheel. I have always loved black cars mainly because my father always had black vehicles. My first car was a 1955 Sunbeam MkIII which was black with red interior. I sure wish I had kept it. My ...

Good for you for having kept a Porsche over the years. I was born in 1942 and only acquired my first Carrera 996 2005 in 2012. Not my first car by any means. Actually the first car I bought was a 1955 Sunbeam Talbot Mk III. I got it from a friend of mine who unfortunately had an accident with ...

Hi Ronan, good for you acquiring a P car. When I was your age there is no way I could afford a car, a bicycle was more my speed. I did however drive my mother's 1956 Morris Minor once I got my driver's license. I acquired my 2004 Porsche 996 in 2012. It is the best and most fun car I ever owned. I ...

Good for you F1Fanatic. However, I hope you are not driving it at this time of year. No real snow here in Toronto but I expect you have some of the white stuff in Ottawa. My 996 (2004) Carrera Coupe has been on insulated pads in my garage since November 1st and will not see the light of day until at ...

Hi Jerry, welcome to Carpokes. Mine is a base Carrera coupe as well but it is 2004 996. It runs like a Swiss watch and I love it. At the moment it is in my garage next to my 2012 TTs. I put them away on November 1st and they will remain under cover until April 1st. We got our first real snow last ...

Good for you Fjord384. That sure is a Mighty fine Looking Motorcar!
You are going to find the next 4 months very long indeed.
I can't wait for the spring to come either so I can get my 2004 Carrera out of storage.

Hi Dennis V and welcome to Carpokes. I envy where you live as you can drive your cars all year. I put my two sporty cars in storage for the winter (2004 996 Coupe and a 2012 Audi TTs). However, I have already made arrangements for the insurance to take effect on April 1st so I expect to be on the ...

Welcome to Carpokes! Tim
I am a relatively new member and anxiously awaiting spring so I can get my two cars out: 2004 911 (996) and a 2012 Audi TTs. I bought the 911 in August of 2012 and the TTs in July of 2022. I find the winters quite long considering my cars are only a few feet away in the ...

Welcome Renatus, and good for you to be able to drive on the Autobahn. My cars, a 2004 996 coupe and a 2012 Audi TTs are presently in storage in my garage for the winter. I expect to put them on the road in April, however the best I can do is drive them on the 400 series of highways here in Ontario ...

I learned to drive in a 56 Morris Minor. No radio, poor heater and no power. The only luxury item (if you could call it that) were the red leather seats. Still fun though. Then I bought a used Sunbeam Talbot Mk III for $75., traded it for a Triumph TR3, turned it in for a new TR4A, traded it for a ...
