Agreed. I saw that the other day and thought it was incredibly well executed and probably a ton of fun.

Yeah, I went through that one too. Very well done. back in the early 80's I almost bought an X1/9. The car failed terribly during a test drive.

I also have a very good friend that suffered bad injuries in an X1/9 crash. She was very lucky that she was asleep in the passenger seat when the accident happened. If she had been awake (head upright) she could have been decapitated. Her head was on her boyfriends shoulder, and was just partially scalped

Not for me but it came up on my facebook feed:

You don't know turbo lag until you've experienced a 944 turbo.

High-ish miles on this ZHP, but it looks like it's in nice shape:

If I was getting an ZHP then I would want the cloth seats

I mean, yeah, I have no idea why anyone bought one of those cars in anything other than Imola/Alcantara, since those were the unique things about the package.

But these look like they're in nice shape given the miles.

I don't get Alcantara one bit. It's just Ultrasuede by another name. And it doesn't patina with age, it pills.

And most of the seat was just cloth, which I still generally prefer, especially since BMW leather doesn't really wear all that well.
