Hmmm.... could be bad parenting but...
Well I won an auction on BaT. My son had been wanting a 944
since he was about 13, when he saw one while visiting the Lime Rock Historic races
with me. So here’ we are a couple years later. No drivers license yet. But soon to be.
He’s 16 now and he will now really know what sports cars and
car maintenance are all about. He’s not a die hard gear head but
he enjoys the shows and the can-am cars and the Trans Am series race cars.
Something about the 944 appeals to him. He leaves me alone in my misery of the
914-6 build. Heheheh. Just thought I’d share.
Looking forward to an autocross in the future with him!
Car needs some attention but it travelled without issue in the 90*F heat. Drove it some
60 miles. It’s a early 1983 model. Manual everything! Needs some cosmetic stuff on interior and possible rear trans mounts. Prolly replace timing belt soon.
Less than 10,000 miles on belt but it’s over 5yrs now. Ok that’s all.
Back to the 914 build!
