Ahhh, stealth classic air cooled AND an up to date killer mid engine high spec driving focused ride, both in white I see. Each has its strengths and charms, and I would think white cars fly slightly under the radar so to speak.
Welcome to CARPOKES and Thank You for joining.

Hey everyone!
I found this site today and was really impressed, thanks for all the great posts to research.
Name: Jeff King
Location: Coventry, Connecticut
Current fun cars: '87 951; '74 914 2.0; '72 Triumph GT6 (race car)
Occupation: Mechanical engineer
Currently I'm working to get my 944 Turbo back on the road after it ended up with an electrical gremlin a few years ago. I recently got it running with the help of an Augment Automotive ECU upgrade/replacement. I found this site looking for information and inspiration to tackle the long list of tune-ups now needed.
Thanks, and hope to see some of your fun cars out on the road if winter ever ends!

Welcome aboard Jeff! We have lots of 944 folks/expertise, so if we can help, just post away. We also have quite a few 914 lurkers. Start posting about the 914 and let's see if we can bring them out of the shadows a bit more!

That's a nice garage inventory you have. Interesting mix of handling characteristics across your cars.
Electrical gremlins seem to the bane of older cars as I have a couple on my 89 951 but the depth of the 944 knowledge is deep here in CARPOKES.
Welcome to the site and thank you for joining.

Welcome kingjp and I will admit to being envious of the GT6 as it was one of my main choices for a first car back in 1970. Before going to college I looked hard for a GT6 and gave up as the availability seemed quite limited in Kansas. I did end up with a year old Datsun 2000 and it was a great machine that I had a ton of fun with --- including getting a speeding ticket for 105 mph ( it was not maxed out ) near Pratt, Kansas, late at night. Not a smart move in 1971, but the little roadster would lay it down on the two lane ribbons of asphalt in the Midwest.

Gentlemen, I echo P Coastal's welcome to you two as well as JCviggen and nice to have you aboard. JCviggen, always great to have another track rat on board and I look forward to more pictures and videos of you ripping up European asphalt. Webber, are you based in the Arkansas or Missouri Ozarks ? Great place, either way for fun, fun drives in your Porsches.
Eric, spent some time in your State, and you have some great places to drive also with just a short drive to the Blue Ridge Mountains. My favorite spot in NC, though, is on Ocracoke Island - great place to take a step back in time.
I'm in the Northwest Arkansas - so a three hour drive can take me to Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and of course, Arkansas. Fantastic roads in all directions and quite a few club drives to join. Our PCA group hosts Porsche Palooza in Eureka Springs each year (400+ cars) with great drives for 3 days.

Pamela driving 2024 911Carrera4S Cab Silver/Black top & 2021 Panamera 4S Midnight Blue.
Passion for Porsche. Started driving the Panamera as no other sedan called to me. Drove both for business BMW & MBZ. Since my 911 only needed to be in the shop for maintenance, decided why not give the sedan a try. Absolutely love it. Didn't think I would. So there you have it Porsche you stole my heart again.
Thanks, looking forward to Porsche chats as I am Porsche Passionate!

Welcome and Pamela is a stunning young lady! I am sure those other 4 doors view her and are quite envious of her lovely curves.
