    That Turbo spurned my desire for Porsche at 10yrs old… now 50+ I was planning on getting a 911 but I just couldn’t go for a 997.2 /991 … they just seem 2nd best to me, so I went and got a ‘15 Cayman S it just suits me better and because a 930Turbo is well out of my budget … it’s the only true 911 I want 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I remember a young guy in the office drove a red one of these in the late 70’s (rich dad), looked stunning. My choice of ‘classic’ 911 now would be a 993 Cab. I came very close to buying one 16 years ago but instead opted for a 996, biggest mistake ever….

    A second ago I thought I had it under control, and then I turned on this video🧡

    Great video. It was so nice to see an old classic porsche. This is one of my poster cars too. It’s just stunning and amazing to compare how much modern cars have grown in dimensions. Being next to a big lorry in an old low sports car takes some getting used to.😮 Well done, Ped.

    I’ve not driven a turbo, but had a 3.2 Carrera same year which had a 5 speed box. Currently drive a 993 Carrera 4. I would say buy a 993 Carrera 6 speed manual. You won’t be disappointed. I describe the unique smell as leather and petrol. 😎

    As someone in my early 50’s I have to say, wow, what an icon! Don’t you wish you could travel back to the 80’s knowing what you know now?

      Now there is a scenario I would jump at. As someone who has just turned 60 I enjoyed the 80’s to the fullest as I had just left school and had started working in a Bank for the modest sum of £3000 p.a. That seemed like so much money at the time but I could fuel my motorbike for 70p and polo mints were a half pence and a few years earlier my annual golf club membership was 50p but when it went to a £1 the whole village was up in arms.

    Like you this is the era of Porsche that I really fell in love with and think the tail was the reason why. I can remember driving up to the local Porsche garage and drooling over them which brings back very fond memories so suppose you could say my first love 😍

    Had an 82 one in the mid 90’s. Alas we ended up in a field on a shockingly wet November night. The heating was non existent in winter and I was getting 14mpg in winter. By god it made me feel good though

    The 930 turbo is a very special car. Its history comes from racing. A race car homologated for the road. So cool you got a chance to take it out.

    If I sell my house , the dogs, my wife, have no holidays for 2 years I could probably run it for a bit….with a huge SMILE on my face the whole time though. Cool 😎

    I’m sure I have mentioned here before but I have never been a fan of this marque but I do see the attraction of them. I did have a friend in the very early 80’s who had a very similar car to the one you drove it was white with the big whale tail spoiler and it was left hand drive. The guy was a police officer and volunteered for any overtime going to allow him to buy stunning cars. I always wanted to see someone I knew when I was a passenger in it and hoped they thought I was driving but from memory it never happened. There were some really smart cars in Aberdeen at the time with oil money feeding the economy but that Porsche did stand out.

    I had a 1975 930 3ltr Turbo 4 speed briefly in the 80’s, it was brilliant then and I’m sure still is now. You got used to only accelerating in a straight line and not really accelerating at all in the wet. One of a long list of cars I should have kept!
    Thanks for a great review and for bringing this memories back.
    If I could have any Porsche now, I’d not have a new one, I’d choose a 911SC from about 1980, the right combination of everything in my opinion.

    I grinned throughout this video. It’s hard to understand quite how these cars feel. You’ve nailed it.
    I was lucky enough to have one ( the four-speed) in 1990…I was 25. From memory, it cost me £30k. I persuaded a local finance company to attach a large balloon payment to the deal and ended up selling it 3 years later..for 30k. Great value!
    It was a car that demanded respect…slow in…fast out… super caution in the wet, but wow, did it go above 3.5k rpm. Absolute icon….thanks for sharing Pete 👍

      Epic decision..could you afford one now?

    2. @chrisva505 Avatar
      @chrisva505

      ​@@stephenauty2402yes, I am extremely fortunate to have done well with my business and could afford to get one now. I would be nervous about going back to the same place twice( if you know what I mean) as old memories are usually different to today’s reality. It’s very tempting though!

      @@chrisva505 I know what you mean , fabulous cars but probably for short bursts in good weather and not too far from home. I’ve got a 996 Turbo and it suits me perfect , a little of the old school but with a more modern and reliable feel , just back from a 2000 mile trip to Sweden in it.

    It’s an absolute thing of beauty and is the reason why I also have a life long love of Porsche (especially the 911). I’m 50 and I would say that the 930 Turbo (I remember it’s variants, more the 935 I think being in the film Condorman) is responsible for many people of my age falling in love with the 911.

    Can you imagine having that in the garage to take out on a lovely day.

    It’s great to see such genuine motoring enthusiasm. I’m of a similar vintage and remember seeing and hearing one blast it’s way up the middle of Rickmansworth High Street when I was younger… there’s a hill up the middle and it blasted away from the traffic lights. I think that’s what got me hooked on the slightly madder end of motoring.

    I went from a 992 C2S to a 996 C4S Cabrio manual and I have to say I simply enjoy the 996 so much more. Don’t get me wrong, the 992 was a great car, but the 996 feels special. Creaks, squeaks and the odd leak make it more enduring.

    ‘Classic’ cars are not for the faint hearted as they need TLC and that can be expensive, but to me whilst I can afford it there is nothing that compares. I have a 2022 S3 also so for me the perfect garage (although I don’t have one and am green with envy with your but made up for you building your dream garage dude!)
