Goodbye old hotness, hello new hotness (944(+7) content)

So a while ago my Dad asked me if I was interested in selling our shared '87 944S and upgrading it to something... better he'd found. It was snowy at the time so we held off doing the deal until we could move both cars out of their indoor storage spaces. Well, last weekend saw this off to its happy new owner:

(the horsey one didn't go anywhere)

...And then Dad took the train two hours away to pick up its replacement:

One year older, 20 000 km fresher, and one snail faster. I haven't seen it in person yet, but it belonged to a family friend who took really good care of it. It's in pretty nice shape, needs nothing and everything works. Even the A/C. Should be a fun one.

I always liked the 944Ts and that one looks like an extra good one. Congrats. Let us know how she works out.

That Mustang looks pretty sweet too!

That's a real beauty - makes me want to dump my beater project 951 and pick up one in that condition!

Thanks guys! Here's its Readers' Rides page where, if you felt like upvoting something today, you could certainly indulge yourself, nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.

Upvoted der Porsche.

that is a nice little upgraded car there

Now that's an upgrade! I wish I could do that!

That's an identical twin to my old one, I love it!

Rad . Apart from the turbo goodness, I love the new colour combo. Red is really not ideal on a 944.

As it happens, I've just arrived back from buying my own '80s turbo car, in the form of a Saab 900 Aero. More on that later!
