Brian in Buddina Been away on holidays and missed your post - sorry. I've owned various Italian cars over the years but currently I have a 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, a 1967 Fiat 500F and a 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750GTV. I've also owned a lot of German cars too and the Italian ones are very different. Chris ugame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact for a short time, I owned all 3 at once. 98 Ph1 916 GTV TS 02 Ph2 916 GTV TS 05 147 TS. At some point in the future I WILL own a V6 Busso. Either another 916 GTV or possibly a GT 937. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenM Posted 25January, 2019 Report Share Posted 25January, 2019 Hi new to the forum, I have always wanted a 911 for as long as I can remember, grew up with exclusively 911's on my wall. I bought my car 13 months ago going into it with my eyes open it was cheap for a C2 manual coupe and I have done all of work myself so far. I have replaced the battery, heater core, fixed the flying foam climate control doors, replaced indicator stalk, replaced the charging harness, replaced voltage regulator, replaced engine mounts, radiator cap, suspension, and droplinks, gear shifter assembly, gearbox detent spring retainer, gearbox oil, oil filler tube, air oil seperator coupling. Maintenance stuff was tires and oil change wiper arms this was a nice car with a documented service history, although allot of this stuff I found myself but yeah, it is awesome car and I love it still feels a bit surreal 911 ownership. Next job is Gearbox mount Powerflex inserts. I have put 14000 kms on it since I bought it, previous to me it was only doing about 2-3000km per year.

GeeM Posted 5February, 2019 Report Share Posted 5February, 2019 Thought i'd introduce myself and throw my SC into the mix, After searching for many years i purchased this 79 SC from a gentleman in Sydney about 4 years ago. Original left hooker from the US and converted back in the 90's After a re paint and a new set of rims from Classic Wheels Australia it presents well and drives great GC9911, GTP911, Dalai and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted 11March, 2019 Report Share Posted 11March, 2019 Long time lurker, but as I’ve now posted on one of the threads, I should do the intro. Got this about a decade ago - 1969 911S, rhd UK car. It’s been a race car most of its life and currently has a 2.3 twin plug, but have the matching numbers engine case as well. Cheers, Nathan p.s. I did not take this photo, but cannot find who to credit it to - whoever it was, thanks. Tips, hugh, SteveF and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crayon GT3 Posted 30July, 2019 Report Share Posted 30July, 2019 Hello to all. From having a poster of a Guards Red 930 on my bedroom wall as a kid and the 928 in Risky Business a Porsche was always on the cards. After settling in Sydney a few years ago and having the opportunity, I took the plunge with the good people at Porsche Willoughby and here she is, a 991.2 GT3 in Crayon. PDK because everything happens so fast I want both hands on the wheel (and because my commute sucks). I have tracked the car twice in a couple of months and there will be more, but I'm also using the car as my daily drive which makes every journey an adventure. An air cooled car is now in my near future as I want a manual and right now I'm loving the idea of of a pre-IB outlawish car so we'll see what comes along!

Crayon GT3 Posted 30July, 2019 Report Share Posted 30July, 2019 Thanks Harsh, me too. It changes with the light it can look almost white and the other times different shades of grey, I know it's a current favourite on the color chart but I think it's got longevity.

LeeM Posted 31July, 2019 Report Share Posted 31July, 2019 Very nice @Crayon GT3 and welcome to the forum. You need to talk to @hugh about his longhood which is for sale (unless he's sold it already). You'll like that hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get back to Syd I will organise another SMT even if a quick blast down west head early one Sunday. I'm attending the AH farm day with the SC on the 15th and keen to see how it handles after the suspension refresh. If your attending Crayon happy to swap keys for a lap or ten 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayon GT3 Posted 31July, 2019 Report Share Posted 31July, 2019 I shan't be at the AH farm day but I'd love to jump onboard for a SMT, sounds awesome. Sadly (for you) any farm laps are still all mine as I still enjoy bending the laws of physics 😀 Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
