tooquicktostop Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Well after searching for a Cosworth for a few weeks and viewing a lot of dross I have to say I have managed to get one of my other favourites from the 80's, a classic Porsche 928, it was on my wish list a few months ago but bottled it, now I have one Its a VERY 80's car with a great history, it a very red and I love the ostentatious feel of it, it must have been quite a statement when new Dave, get ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Another one! Always loved the look of the 928, a proper 80's bankers car Always heard horror stories about the running and parts costs on the 928, but that might not be so bad compared to a single supra!

I can so imagine that, though the fella would need to be smoking a pipe when saying it! Looks lovely Dean! Do you still have your Corvette? At least this time you got a car with the steering on the correct side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I bottled it last time I looked at one due to the horror stories, but as I drive them a few hundred miles a year its not an issue if it needs work, Daves my man, he has not let me down yet with both bodywork and mechanicals Blinking bankers !

shaky Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I had one about 16 years ago,drank like a fish,6 miles to the gallon, 200 fully comp,whent to look at a 938 s4 on piston heads for 7.k,there was more oil under the car than in the gulf,then went to look at the supra and that's what i have now,there was no flea bay then and parts are rare,i still love them but the supra is the better car,unless you get the gts,they do a super charger for it for about 3.5 k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not too worried about mechanicals they can all be fixed, I am very used to very low MPG, thats part of the reason they are so cheap to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Whenever i see the 928 it reminds me of the scene in the film, 'weird science'(1985) when the two guys get a 928 to pick kelly Lebrock up in. they consequently wheelspin off with that georgous V8 engine and i was smitten ever since. I never bought one & never likely to now but it always has a soft spot in my memories. http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=M01aUAXTwTg&feature=related Maybe i was decieved by weird science but it still sounded good.
