I know convertible and 944 should not be said together but this thing somehow has me wanting it .

A set of 18 inch staggered Turbo twist rims and remove the front plate and done. Being a manual S2 model I bet it's a really nice top down canyon runner.

Actually, it kind of looks like a 3.5" disk drive.
It looks like a card reader/holder to me. What that would be doing under a steering column, .

That is a hot car ... they said according to the owner it can be brought back to the US though I have no clue to these things .. can it ??

Damn I don't get tempted by many cars in this thread but that one has me tempted ...

Truth be told a 90's 300zx twin turbo always has me tempted though a clean example with super low miles is hard to find ..


Arghhh

That's an interesting thought.

My '91 Q was a lot of fun.

I thought DUI too, but it really does look like some sort of card reader.

Also, I have no idea what the fascination is with buying a RHD car. Seems like a huge PITA to me.

This is a very stupid like but if I had the room and the money I'd consider it.

Something about a ginormous convertible with an actual 4spd.

This looks like a good deal for what it is (e30 M3 under 70k miles)

Yea, I was thinking that not too long ago after seeing what some have been going for on BAT and listings at EAG
