Hello from Holland
#1

Hello there,

I'm now the proud owner of two Porsches and I feel so fortunate to be in this possition. If got a 1972 911 2.4T which I bought two years ago in San Fransico and last week I bought my "new" daily driver, a 1994 968CS. I bought it at a official Porsche dealer in germany. They took the car in as part exchange and was going to be used by the wife of the head of sales. But she wanted a 928. It was advertised as a normal 968 coupe but I spotted the cs logo on the back and after a vin check I discoverd it is a true CS. The car has 189000 kilometeres on the clock about 117500 miles. It's got a compleet history at the porsche dealer that sold me the car and best of all it had a cambelt faillure 5000 miles ago. I've got a bill for more than $ 10.000 that they spend on the engine. New pistons bearings camshafts etc etc.

Now its not a new car and it does have a few scratches here and there. It has one issue that i need to sort straight away. It's got some rust at the rear of the front wishbone crossmember. Now I'm not sure if I'll repair it or if I wil cut it out and weld a piece from a donor car in there.

But I'm so happy with this car. The ride is so different from my old 911 but still so porsche like. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img]

Welcome to the forum. Is it me or has every new member from Holland, Sweden, Norway etc. that has joined in the the last year bought a CS? It's like that's all there is in Europe, lucky to have that choice.

Welcome to the Forum from a Canadian with Dutch "heritage"!

You will enjoy the great interaction on the Forum and the wealth of information.

Side note: I am planning a "spring break" trip to Holland next March with the wife and two youngest daughters. At that time I would like to meet some Dutch 968 owners. I will keep you all posted on the developments!

I don't know if you are registered on the Dutch Porsche forum, but here is a link to the 968 topic. We have quite an active group of 968 guys in the Netherlands:
