At special request, we've added this new forum for the 16 valve 944S, S2, and 968 cars!

First order of business: we need some good pictures to serve as an avatar for this forum! Please post!

Very nice car!!

She looks brand new, how long have you had her and how many miles on the odometer -- enquiring minds want to know ,ha!

Lovely car in a subtle colour that fits perfectly with how much of a wonderful all round package the S2 is.

I miss mine. So many good memories, especially driving over to Germany with my late Dad to buy it... sigh...
