Funny you mention that; I've always thought, myself included, that Paso people are the same group as 928 people; this is confirmation
I'm kinda partial to the s4 myself, the GTS is a little to radical for the classic design. Post some pics of your 907 rebuild when you get a chance. Did you go STD bore one the motor or did you kit it?

Thats really funny.
Because i own half a 928 (a 944).

Seems that you`re right...

Nigel, I hope you didn´t do the same mistake that I did changing belts at the beginning of the restoration. When finished they will almost be due again. Get tires and belts at the end.

I bought a nice 87 944 maybe 5 years ago to flip, did the top end in it; previous owner let the timing belt interval laps for too long. What a magnificent car to drive. Nice baby grand tourer!
Sorry to hijack....

personally I wouldn't be caught dead in anything short of a 954,well maybe a 904 if I could find one. But that's just me and if I had my drothers it would be a Saab 96 Monte Carlo or a Lancia Startos.
tTen again I can appreciate the dedication to an "esoteric bad design"

I have a few contacts can tell you what you need to know if you so desire All got their PHd in composite design.
