Lol. (Understandable!)

By the way, welcome to Carpokes. There's a New Member section, so feel free to post your pics there too (and more if you wish).

Thanks for that! I miss that 74 every day. Never should have sold it. Spent a huge amount of time and effort getting it fixed up. Sold it for a new 84 Carrera Targa project that I ended up selling.

Most of us here like lots of pictures and Tom has made sure that the site is up to the task.

What do you think of my 9" Alpine Touchscreen?

Cleanly built - no distractions to the wonderful lines. Gorgeous and very, very nice!

Ambivalent to the touchscreen (which looks fine) since I'm not the keenest on all the displays in cars these days. I like analog. (Yeah, I know, three new Porsches in my possession, all with tons of digital gauges and displays. I know how to use them and I do use them, but I still have a nostalgic preference for real gauges and dials!) Your touchscreen provides info and entertainment that is helpful, so all great! Plus it looks as though it's easily removed in case you want to have a different look for a bit.

Oh, by the way, welcome to Carpokes. Feel free to join in and post more pics and comments.

And I like your handle, which, if my search is accurate, loosely translates to "Don't let the bastards grind you down". Excellent sentiments.

How about that!! Love the pics! Fantastic presentation. Are you a filmmaker!?! Lol.

That's a great setting, suggesting a beach somewhere on the French coast and, even if the Citroen is a bit too new for this, it reminded me of and would fit well in the 1953 flick 'Monsieur Hulot's Holiday' by Jacques Tati. ("Monsieur Hulot comes to a beachside hotel for a vacation and accidentally, but good-naturedly, causes havoc." French comedy 70-years ago!)

Welcome to Carpokes TipToe -- great pictures! I opted for the Porsche Classic Radio for my '86 944 -- it gives you SiriusXM and other modern features, but far short of that Alpine. Screens like that Alpine are so common in cars these days, a dash almost looks weird without one. Both cars look great, and look like a lot of fun!

My long-gone 1962 B Sunroof Coupe. Not a neck-snapper, but great fun to drive. Still going strong, BTW, with the guy I sold it to several years ago.

What do you think of my 9" Alpine Touchscreen?

Can post some pictures what it looks behind the screen, and what model. Can you open the glove box ?
