Sold the '92 Pearlie

As some of you know, I have sold the '92 Pearlie to SVXRIDE - keeping, OF COURSE, the RED '97 (and taking it to READING this year). Decided I wanted a change of pace (no pun) and found a 1988 Porsche 924S. Beautiful shape with ONLY 38K ,miles on it! Here are some photos in the "as bought" condition:

Harry,
I know that you loved your Pearlie and spared no expence to make it top notch.
I also know that you would only sell it to an SVX fanatic.
For that I applaud you.

What's with all these SVX people turning Porsche owners?

You hit the nail on the head, Tom .... Only to someone that would appreciate the car AND the improvements YOU made to it! Many thanks, my friend - you better be at READING this year!!

When THIS pearl came along, I could not resist - only 38K miles on a 1988!

Having the timing belt and water pump (and hoses) changed this week along with flushing the coolant and brake fluid ... should be ready to roll - at autocross and the track ....

I saw what you did there, Tom

Wonder if I can get an STX car to beat an FP car....
