My wife and I bought her a '94 855 turbo a couple years back. It's a great car, aside from the well known weaknesses.

Welcome! We're still a small group and the traffic is of a local sort, but we're still a pretty good group of guys overall.

Thanks for welcome everyone...The way I like to drive I think I invoke the rear wheels on a pretty regular basis :P . Any time now I expect to hear "Faster Daddeeeeee" from my 2 year old son!

I'd love to meet everyone. Can someone let me know where and when the group meets?


yeah we have a monthly meeting thread...but a lot of people are busy making there cars run...haha...including myself

just check back this forum is pretty active considering the low number of members...

ciao

Yah, well, except for you, Matt. You're a bit of a turd :wink:

Actually, Matt's a pretty good bloke, despite what Dale might tell ya... :wink: :wink:

Seriously though, welcome to the group. You're right in pointing out that a lot of us have RWDs - I have 5 myself - 4 different models - but there are quite a few of us that have those new fangled FWDs. Not sure if there's anyone else with an AWD. You may be the only one so far.
