Just bought a 944 S2 cab, looking forward to learning on here! 1991, Black, black leather interior, 120k miles
I've just fixed the window regulator, replaced the broken 10 speaker system, and fitted a modern head unit for the long journeys.
Next is a new exhaust tip, machine polish and ceramic coat, clear indicator lenses, and some gauge bezels.
Thanks for joining Carpokes and please keep those photos coming!

Some of us had a Countach poster, some had a 911 poster. I was the latter
I always said I’d buy a 911 someday, right from back when I was a kid in the late 80s. I seriously considered buying an SC back about 10 years ago, but never got around to it, and watched the prices go out of my reach.
I started to see the same thing happening in the 996 world, and decided now was the time. I found what I felt to be a good example, and in the colours I wanted, with good history documents and a 6 speed manual.
My 2001 C4 is great fun to drive. I put like 12,000kms on it this past summer. Took my kid camping and to the water slides in Wisconsin, found a bunch of great twisty roads. I’m loving the car. It is presently put away for the winter, and I’m looking forward to spring (while enjoying my JDM legacy GT wagon - which is also a fun car. Boxers forever )
