Hi Guys,

I'm afraid I don't own 944 YPH any longer. She was mine for 18 years, but she was getting too fast for me

She won numerous 'Concours D' Elegance, Including the National Final.

She was maintained and valeted entirely by myself, and used daily. She lived outside most of those 18 yeas.

She was without doubt the best car I have ever owned.

She was not modified in any way. Definitely no non-Porsche extras. Def No D/Din.

Sorry but couldn't help but post another couple of peeks

I am really sorry you don't have the Porsche anymore.

What a beauty and definitely a credit to you.

However, too fast really.............that is down to your right foot and you loved it, be honest now!

Yes, I did, but so did my wife, and 'cause she's the only one that can always drive, sometimes (I'm unreliable), I couldn't afford for her to lose her licence.

This is what I'm trusted with now:

I think both our licences are safe now.

A mean machine!

I had the use of one similar at Powderham Car Show, paid £10 for the day, was quite impressed with it.
So now looking at getting one myself, I'm registered with disabilities but I am for the time being still allowed to drive.
Have to get one that will go into the back of the Tourer.

I had some people try to wash my windscreen years ago.

I operated my washers and they didn't like that but it made them stop.

I then told them to leave my car alone (obviously I used different words)

We sprayed them with 'cow' urine from Super Soakers.

The look on their faces as we drove away and they slowly realised what they were soaked in was priceless.

I do not think a windscreen washer deserves this - but having been approached by them I find sounding the horn constantly until they go away works well.
Why has no one questioned this further?

A. how do you get cow urine in a super soaker?
B. if it's not cow urine how long do you drive round in a car with your wee in a super soaker in the front seat, is there an OE Rover holder and how do you explain it to passengers?

A) We have a very good farmer friend and the run-off is collected and available if you have a mind to - and we did.

B) I have never peed in anyones super soaker - please do not give me ideas.....

Switch the wipers on, that usually gets them stopped in their tracks.
Otherwise an uppercut to the lower jaw does the trick, if done with passion and conviction!
