I loved my S2 and sold it only very recently to finance a project which never took off. Now I really regret selling it. I shall get another....

A 944S2 with M030 is one of lifes better experiences.

You should have ditched the BMW and kept the S2 for everyday

I will certainly have another 944, didn't think it would be great til I drove one, I love them, they're fantastic.

Next one for me will be an '86 Turbo, the original one

You're better off with the later turbo; 250bhp as opposed to 220bhp, but more importantly M030 is standard and you get the *huge* four-pot Brembo discs front and back.

The S2 was my everyday (and only) car for a couple of years.

Actually I'll agree the later ones are the better ones, I just like the "original" cars because they are the first ones, insane really!

Might save up and get a 968 Clubsport instead, now they are wonderful cars

We could all list the colour and last 3 letters of the reg.

So if you saw a black e92 with DXB on the reg you would know it was carlos.

Just an idea.

When I first had a Mini Cooper in 2002 they were still quite rare and drivers used to acknowledge regularly. Would be a pain now, waving every 5 seconds!

We first need to find out if it's possible to get a hold of and use the E90POST.com logo - copyright, registered etc... considerations. Could a Moderator provide any comment regards this?
There's no problem making use of the E90Post logo- we've made good use of it at every UK meet so far.

The admins sent out window stickers to members when the forum first began, over 3 years ago. Here's mine:



If there's a big-enough demand for a 'new' UK version, then it shouldn't be too difficult to sort out.

Thanks Viv

I think a ‘new’ UK version E90POST.com window decal would be really cool.

What we now need is someone with a good creative graphic arts eye to design a good UK style decal.

Anyone?

Standard practice for Scoob drivers. I do miss that camaraderie... After I sold my Scoob, I did catch myself going to flash my lights and wave....

Only the leather, build quality and D engine woke me up and prevented me

But I do miss the brute power, handling and raw excitement...
