Kerry Posted 6February, 2010 Report Share Posted 6February, 2010 Good idea on the pic library, who are you with? By the way, love the site, some great pics (Bangkok! ) and great to see a different vibe to a forum. Certainly a wee bit less reserved than us... although I am thinking about changing our "Ownership and Enthusiasm" forum, to "talk crap"!

Stepo Posted 6February, 2011 Report Share Posted 6February, 2011 Hi to all. Name's Peter, had my 3.2 for 3 years and only recently came across the forum (must get out from under my rock). Great to find a place where I can read and talk about "How Great Porsches Are". Hoping to learn a little more about my old girl as well. Current ride has been a daily driver, Aust delivered, factory black with 240,000 k's on the clock. Motor is still clean & strong, regularly maintained, so I hope there's still many more years of motoring before any talk about an engine rebuild. Sad to say, kids have finally outgrown the back seat, so time has come; looking for new set of kids, small in stature, happy going around corners.

PCM911T Posted 7February, 2011 Report Share Posted 7February, 2011 Hi Peter,that's the spirit! The 3.2 is known as the "bulletproof" Porsche, so your mileage is not a worry, when there is good servicing.And my opinion is that the "good old girls" are a lot less hassle and expensive than the newer versions. If you haven't already done so, look through the Porsche Club Victoria site, as there is a lot of Porsche activity in the next few months. Cheers Paul M.

mike911CarreraS Posted 21February, 2011 Report Share Posted 21February, 2011 Hi. My name is Mike and I am about to take possession of a 1987 911 Carrera S Cabriolet imported from the UK. It has done a bout 78,000 miles and by all reports in excellent condition and includes FSH and all records. I was enticed into the Porsche market by my brother who has been in the UK for about 4 years as a MD of a large manufacturing company. He has bought about 5 Porsches as well as a BMW, Merc, Jag. Can't help himself. I am about to go thru the process of registering it in NSW. Any advice would be welcome. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jap964 Posted 24March, 2011 Report Share Posted 24March, 2011 Hello, I'm jack, Just turned 22, I have a love for 911's, 964's are my top pic. Just enjoying reading and learning more, I have spent years working on Japanese car's, I still own one but it's very settled. Built a few cars but not really that interesting compared to what's on here, but knowledge grows none the less. Will probably opt for a 3.2 964 when the times right, but I doubt that will happen this year as things are going. (But i have already started collecting a few bits and pieces for it Great to be on here! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM911T Posted 24March, 2011 Report Share Posted 24March, 2011 Hi Jack and welcome. If you go for a 964 it will be a 3.6 litre. Lot's to choose from in the 3.2 and 3.6 ranges, so do lots of reading. Don't pass up the earlier cars either, they are fast becoming the collector's cars, second to the 356s. Cheers Paul M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jap964 Posted 24March, 2011 Report Share Posted 24March, 2011 I can appreciate a 356, but really not my thing. I'm going to aim for a 964 to just become a weekend thing. Thanks for the welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASGAZ Posted 5June, 2011 Report Share Posted 5June, 2011 Hello to you all, have a 99 carrera which I bought about 12 months ago.( I wil attempt to attach some pics..) Been in love with Porsches from the time I layed eyes on my scalextric martini racing version when I was about 5 ! We're a bit short on corners over here in Perth, but have done a couple of driver training days with the hope to do many more. Enjoy doing basic maintenance and pottering about, with a great amount of help from the various forums. Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 5June, 2011 Report Share Posted 5June, 2011 Hi Gareth, Welcome aboard. Love the avatar. Nice 996. I remember there was a time when everyone one changing over to clear headlight/indicaters, I now prefer the originals that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PORSCHE VIRGIN Posted 18June, 2011 Report Share Posted 18June, 2011 For the first time in my life my Daily Driver is no longer a Holden. I have had a Holden as a daily driver since 1983. Now after taking ownership of my 89 Australian delivered Wide Body 911 Carrera (one of 16) I am as happy as a dog with two dic*ks. With 71K on the odometer and all original I cant get the grin off my face. Took her for a short drive today and felt like a big kid with a new toy. when I can figure it out I will post some pics. Cant wait to get up tomorrow to gaze at her in the driveway. I think I am in love........ ROB robbie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
