Porsche 944
This car could not appear in our family. I always believed in it. I believed that the miracle will happen.
Among his father's prospectuses stronger all impressed by this:
I had long considered it, studied specifications and translated with the help of an Italian dictionary. I liked these cars. Were they some kind of special magic. It was felt that they — something special. Elite sports cars in those years. It was also confirmed by high indicators of dynamics. Imagine how impressive 5.4 to 100 in the early 80s.
How far were these Porsche from the Soviet student. Perhaps the moon was closer, but I still dreamed. And in his youth gave me here's the poster:
I hung it on the wall in my room. Woke up and watched a yellow drimaren. And now, Porsche 924 to 968 the nightstand and on the wall brought me to Golden mean real 944 :) Found it by my Brother, on one of the sites ads. Called. It turned out that the car 19 years in one hand, operated rarely and only in dry weather. We of course were intrigued and agreed to meet.
On the morning of November 28 of this year, we arrived in the town of Ensk. The owner of a Porsche on the phone explained where to drive. Navigator led us to the private sector. A modest house, a modest garage, a modest owner of 50 years. As it turned out, the veterinarian...Bought the car in Germany in 1996 for an impressive 12000DM. At that time the mileage was 160000 km on the odometer Today 195800. Yes, just thirty-five thousand for 19 years. When I walked into the garage, my heart skipped a beat "this is It!". Despite the lack of lighting in the garage, it took me three minutes to understand — without this 944 I'm not coming home. The car was long been washed, the cabin is a layer of dust, but I caught the spirit. Is it really possible? Ukraine, 2015 year and the Porsche 944 in the old garage of a provincial town — no farm, no tuning, no accidents in the past, fully original and with that mileage...Just fantastic! And this, for a moment, not a BMW e28 535i or Mercedes W126, on K-rum the pensioner could go to Church on Sundays. This Porsche 944 is a real sports car.
The inspection showed that despite the low mileage in Ukraine, the machine is not properly maintained. In the salon I was never vacuumed, the body is washed manually. And as for the technique, then, for example, the timing belt is the host for 19 years to change and did not bother! Steering rack flowed on both sides, something rattled in the chassis, the rubber on the car summer and tired — it Porsche came from Germany. After inspection of the exterior and interior, we had a test drive. Then came to terms on a price was removed from the register and headed to Kiev.
The weather was Sunny. The road is dry. Warm like spring. Have reached without adventures.
And the next day I went to Vinnitsa. Cold, it was raining. Brother offered to leave the car and pick up when you get better weather. But I am a risk taker and decided to go. I barely got out of Kiev as the sleet started. The farther, the it becomes stronger. Information boards on the track reported a temperature of zero degrees. Became a little uncomfortable. In my hands was my childhood dream, the last of the Mohicans, and I started down the road on bald, old summer tires. Had to rely on their experience. Still, nine years of continuous drive rear wheel drive taught to feel a little bit like cars. To return did not. Only forward is 250 km by road from the treacherous crust and a wet mess. Porsche impressed! Still, transaxel taxis. Weight is really amazing. The car behaves fabulously. it seems like four-wheel drive And this, I stress, just a useless rubber! Full understanding and high control reliability. Of course I'm not nagleli and the life of the road and the car. Kept the speed around 80-90 km/h.
Life after all is a wonderful thing. How it's unpredictable and full of surprises. I already forgot to think about the 944. Not looking for them to sell, because not even imagined that somewhere waiting for me such a stunning specimen. Thought the time for buying it are gone forever. But no — he lived in a provincial town and waited for me all these years. Now I'm completely convinced that these vehicles choose owners. After all, it was sold in the spring. But bought it we. Although those who could afford such a purchase in Ukraine abound. And obviously it got into the hands of a humble and quiet doctor is not accidental, but only in order to safe and sound wait for me — the one who really dreamed about it. Collected the hoses to the Turbo and Bombibom with legend image, read notes about it in the "driving" tests-reviews of now-forgotten magazine, "the US auto industry", which I used to ordered, visiting the Central city library.
In General, it was something to think about on the way home. Calm had. The window slowly falling snow, a deserted road, I'm holding the steering wheel with the words Porsche, the car is like glued to the coating, the cabin warm and cozy. From the speakers softly flowing music — foreign hits 80-x...Toto Cutugno. He Remembered His Father. He loved Italian pop of those years. Became sad at heart. I was driving and thinking — what a pity that the Pope does not see the car, on to-rum, his son will return home. I think he would be really happy. Because I'm sure that, just dreamed about them in his youth, walking the streets of the port cities of Europe, and imagined myself behind the wheel of a Porsche, looking at them in the Italian showroom on Corso del Popolo. It is a pity that he did not live to those years, when the tale he had seen in Europe became a reality. His last car was a white VAZ-21013, sold in 1987. All those Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia and Porsche, the avenues of which he brought back from your flight, sorry forever in his dreams. Said that he would return to the sea and bring themselves from Italy new car. It did not happen. His love for cars Father gave us, his dreams have become ours and now my Brother and turn the glossy pages of foreign booklets in the metal.
These photos were taken on arrival home — 3 Dec
Very warm text. Mental -such. Enjoyed reading!
Also wanted at the time, the 944, but more as an affordable Porsche.
Dreamed about 911 to 993 and BMW Z3 Coupe. One dream I have, by a twist of fate got the second one waiting...
Terrific as is evident even in this photo!
Good luck with the car!
Polish bodywork, clean interior and will be the fire. congratulations on the realization of children's dreams.
but my father every time called, when I saw your car in the Chernihiv))
until it is not put on sale, I thought he was wrong, and that this 924))or a maximum of double))but our country is full of surprises))
Sincerely happy for You, congratulations on a dream come true. Then only the better, turn it into a candy gradually.
Congratulations on your purchase, not bad Hey, great shaver. We all have different tastes, and the woman and the car a real man chooses.
The car is a dream, well, that electronic fuel injector. On the turbo was like ke-jetronic.
Thank you) Will know) And in the NSF "Porsche chellenzh" played 15 years ago) Was forgotten... happy new year!
I thought all 944 has the handbrake instead of the slider which you can choose what axle to give more traction to the front or the back. ))
Surprisingly good condition, great buy! I am sincerely glad. Touched by the nostalgia that permeated the article. According to the car — it's a bit strange, not a Porsche, it's an offshoot introduced in the 80s gg has remained a mystery to me)) Sorry for IMHO.
All the time. E21 in the process of bringing into order the replacement motor, paint, suspension...
already add it in their cars interesting process to watch completely, detailing, repair, polirovka. And that E21 is already sold?
I remember somewhere in 1995 we have in the city (read: village) there was a car with retractable headlights I was interested in what it was for the model. Then I often saw him on the streets. Once approached, as all the boys looked at the speedometer as he shakes. Impressed with the speed of 260 km/h And here in the year 2000 we go with daddy in the yard to the representative of the Caucasus, who did body repair and I see the same car, only in the disassembled condition, and the Porsche lettering on the back. Yes it was a 944. So I was surprised, because at the time, to learn about what your town has a Porsche... Only it was the end of the history of that instance, the block of the motor was lying in the garden it is already growing grass. About the condition of the body I think is clear.
THAT'S WHAT I ALSO FOUND AND BOUGHT OF COURSE CONDITION A BIT WORSE

A beautiful creation by Anatoly Lapin www.autoreview.ru/new_sit...r2001/n16/lapin/lapin.htm
Comegetsome
Strangely, we have so much and they are 3-4 thousand, but with the mileage 200-300
A possible concrete instance of show?
Motloch rotten you are so worth it. And the numbers on the odometer there is already very little to say.

It's a joke of course. Its former owner — it is quite adequate and got a Porsche for a very decent amount. What? Let it remain a little secret. Thank you!

one can only hope that you're with him for a long time, it would be a pity to pass it on the wrong people. Glad they arrived well, well done ;)
A weight distribution Yes, even W Clarkson the top gear was pleased with them) they're way identity through the snow riding
There are of course old cars charisma, which I missed driving in the 991 body. Painfully everything is refined
To understand the philosophy of Porsche should still go to 911. Its architecture gives a very special emotion. When you're strapped in by seat to the accompaniment of raging back atmospheric 400 strong oppozit difficult to force myself to remove your foot from flooring the gas pedal.
If he just bought in China two containers breeches, brought here and sold, then he is highly spiritual and educated businessman! And most importantly, with a crystal clear mind!

If I sell, do not hide that sign up))
If it's business, then what's the dream?And so on...
Well, bought-sold, so what.
Although the author says that the car for him without the valuable, and she had for a long time.
Want to send money I don't mind.For language nobody pulled.
Dealers have no soul? They are not people? They didn't have childhood dreams? Read these and marvel at.
On the Internet on "you" only those who have the gaps in education and problems with his head)
On the Internet, all you...
Where it is seen that the I that tormented?
Don't worry...and then you have some sort of nerve...
We are on the "you" is not passed.
What ails you? What do you care who sold?
And even more to talk about other people's dreams...

On long car?Or so...resell for more
And if you sell, you have cheaper?
Maybe it's easier for someone to donate money? You send the money?
Or maybe you're someone others and take on the first request give?
well when dreams sbyvayutsya! But some of dreams a little, if not prikalyvalo to this effort, You put, accordingly, it came true! Congratulations!
Oh also about this dream! To take the recovery project to bring to mind and ride at weekends)
For me personally this is the best Porsche! And the color is good and the biography is simply priceless. Congratulations! Success.
Temperament in the choice of car plays a role. But I was talking about design and not about love for alpha as such )
Join the idea that the car is standing choose the hosts, coming at the right time to those who can appreciate. To me as the same came RR Classic. I couldn't even hope to find such in this state. I bought the lady that brought him slightly to the right, not touching, nothing serious and almost went to her was another young lady — like they had for me... And with regards to attacks against those who don't like alpha — what can I do if I mile of the British at the age of — I think there is still the matter of the temperament of the person. Judging by a certain expressiveness of Your posts, begs the idea that You have a temperament closer to italyanskom... So to each his own!
Great machine!
I wish rather to bring it in perfect factory condition, and do it in memory of his father.
Amazing car and incredibly emotional story. Congratulations on the purchase of a dream
I Love Parsival.Remember в90году mother went to Berlin and brought crane 944ий, Bburago like.1:43.Beautiful Porsche restayl like.And most importantly drives in the form of a telephone dial most it!The story is emotional and just positive a lot
A heart-warming tale. Dreams can come true! I am very glad that the car was in good hands.
He once dreamed about this, or at least 924-th, which at least sometimes can be found in the city.

PS: Not talking about the car on TV say : "Manage the dream" Oh not about that...)
