Devon, why thats only down the M5. I'm in Portishead, bought my '89 1.8 in Feb. After looking at 924 and 944's it did pain me to buy a front wheel drive car, and just doesn't corner like my mk1 MR2 (on goodyear eagle F1's) but then what does. Growing on me though, particularly that 16V buzz, and no terminal rust problems or leeking roof-yay!
Changed the 17 inch alloys for 15 inch as judging by the amount of rattling trim the car was getting shaken to death, and the steering wobble on the motorway has gone with the lighter wheels.
Thought about Corrados for a while but for me it was the lower profile of the original bonnet that was the clincher, plus some shiny paintwork. Very sexy. Got to fit some new disc shields, find why both windows suddenly stopped working (where are the fuses?)and pull the fuse on the spoiler, before the mechanism goes. Oh, and enable the passenger door to be opened from the outside and sort the confused central locking. One of the 17 previous owners thought they'd de-lock it- what's wrong with a key?
