I had a 1974 911S Targa when I was 19. Not a bad motor and lovely lines. Would prefer an older one now though. 2.4 litre 911S would be nice.

Been looking around lately for a 924 GT Carrera. They aren't too common these days. 170+ mph down the Mulsanne straight.

Tom Machin

The 924 when ive finished with it shud be around 550bhp and hit 180mph.

What sort of jet engine are you intending to attach to your 924?

I'll get there one day. Keep drooling over 993s. A neighbour has just bought a lovely new 996 with the full GT2 bodykit and fab Porsche sports exhaust. What a sound Me? Jealous?

I'm seriously torn between getting another Scoob next year or taking the plunge into Porsche ownership.

As for supercars - you can stick your Merc SLR and Enzo, give me a Carrera GT anyday

Pah....thats just a replica....the real deal for just £130k

I'd rather have the faster(and cheaper) replica, it was in Classic Cars Magazine a few months ago. It's a thing of great beauty and gives me a strange warm feeling. Or maybe I've wet myself

I called him a fool when he sold it...he now calls himself a fool for selling it!

Had a 1970 911E when I was 19.
Then bought a 1977 Carrera 2.
Later on had a 1982 3.3 Turbo
Then a 17 year absence till my kids grew up (M3, Scooby, Evo5, Skyline R34 V spec )
Now I have a tuned 993 C4. Wonderful cars.

Na, he's got a body shop and I got the car cheap (£400). So leapt at the chance. I'm getting the V8 out of a mustang and tuning it up to about 550bhp at the flywheel so it shoould be fun.

I think Brun meant that your Dad would need to sell that body shop just to insure you (assuming you could find a company willing to take your money).

Would a V8 fit in the engine bay?

How many exhaust pipes are you gonna go for?

for v8 924 see here

Tom Machin

As soon as I'm 19 i can go on the trade policy and drive anthin' I want and only have to put petrol in the @$$W!P£. should be gud though with 550bhp. There will be 18mm each side of the heads and I'm having 2 4 branch manifolds going into 4 four inch pipes roughly under the steering wheel then into 2 and back into four for the 4 cheery bombs and out! phew!
