Only just come back to looking at the forum after a few years in the wilderness. Spoke to a guy at the petrol station with a C2S on Sunday, which prompted me to look at a few photos of my stuff. Quiet day today, so posting a few bits and pieces here. This will be boring for most - tolerable for some.
My first 2s was Ocean with a FF spoiler. Bought from Autobahn in 2003. It was a good car, but 1 month into ownership - and with 53k on the clock the diff exploded. Autobahn did the right thing and fitted a new one. Enjoyed this car - pre children and did quite a few trips around the country with my girlfriend.
My friend Vic had 3 tremendous 993's at the time. This one of my fave pics - seen on here many times before. Had the chance to acquire the Riviera RS when he came to sell - thank god I didn't waste the £45k asking price on that (said me never)
The 2nd 2S I had was a Zentith one from Strasse in Leeds. Another lovely car, but I missed the spoiler so bought one in order to swap and change when I fancied the amazing view of it you get from the wing mirror.
Also had one of my best motoring days out ever with my friend phil when we behaved like hooligans around Hertfordshire. Me in my 993, totally unable to keep up with him in the 430. Just back and forward through the Hatfield tunnel with the windows down...
I was going to live in America at this point, so I sold it, but a few weeks before I went, this 993T came up for sale which I spent a loooong time viewing in Manchester before finally deciding against it. I could've had this car for £35k. It was in poor condition, and the fact that I was about to leave the country for a year stopped me. It's Mirage silver and looked better in the metal.
Bought this 1976 Monte with a big V8 in America. Lot of fun for $3,000....
When I came back I bought the black one of which there are loads of photos...incl sig pic. Loved that car - another forum member owns it now.
Here's a photo of it
The guy I bought the black 2S from had bought this.....I don't even know what it is...but he thought it was extremely special.
Out of all the cars I've ever owned, this might be my favourite. It did it all so well. I miss it. E39 530 MSport
Guy round the corner from me owns this - although I've never met him which is weird. Only one I've ever seen in this colour and it is fantastic.
This one parks near me on Berkeley Square all the time. I love it.
But most of my time is spent on a scooter. I ride this to work almost every day..and it is an incredible tool for the job.
Had this for a while as well. But not a great commuter bike. But for all those that ride, there's nothing quite like opening up the throttle on a sports bike....
That's it. That's used up a good 25 minutes.....
....actually - there's more.
I forgot about my E36 318is This was a great little coupe. Really enjoyed this..
The black C2S owner also had one of these in his garage that he let me have a go in. Plastic rear screen and dog leg gearbox. Amazing fun stripped out light car.
Owned this Shadow when i was going through my Easy Rider phase....
And this Z3 which was a 2.8 and mediocre
And this photo of the 3.8 engine bay of Vic's RSR yellowbird. Still can't really get my head round it.
and here's my 747...
