This is my 924, Florian. He's old and tatty but during my stewardship I aim to tidy him up. I've had him a couple of years, he's my first classic car, rather than mundane old shite. Yes he is a classic, before you ask; he's on classic insurance. He's nearly tax and MOT exempt, two more years to go. And yes he's a Porsche. Some will say he's a VW built in the Audi factory using the Audi 2.0 and the transaxle and the VW Parts bin in general. Yes that's all true but he was designed by a man whose surname was Porsche and the has the word plastered Porsche all over him. The father of this man founded VW and designed the KDF Wagen, the car we know as the Beetle and the Porsche 911. In fact if you get an elephant to sit on the Beetle and swap it's engine to a 6 cylinder you get a 911. Let's brush over the Nazi origins of these cars and understand that you cannot separate VW and Porsche as companies. They have always faught over who owns who; VW won that game in the end though and now also want to rule the world. Back to my car. Here he is https://porsche924.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=31111 Here is @Twin-Cam's video of Florian I'll get some photos for here next time he comes out of the garage! Anyway job in hand today: continuing the re-upholstery of the seats. More to come, I'm sure.
