I've owned two cabs. But only one at a time. First was a 94 guards red cab, and the second that I own now is a 92 black cab. Sold the first because the extra spot in the garage was getting full with the toys that go with having a toddler(the Barbie jeep, radio flier, and jogging stroller, +++), but I never lost the bug for one and got a deal I couldn't refuse on the second one. Its safe till our little one turns 16 (10 years from now), then I may have to son consolidate my primary car and 968 to some typ of four seater convertible and make room for a nice, safe tank for my daughter.

One. And if you ask my wife, that's one too many (though I have caught her grinning like a banshee after a spirited run through the mountain roads).

I'm going to skip the " why 8 ?! " question because somehow I can understand that, but it begs this question : why are only the ( and all of them ) three Tip coupes for sale ? What's wrong with the Tip coupe that I should know, now that I just bought one ? <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/glare.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />[/quote]
No hard feelings against the TIPs. Actually they're much more fun than most people expect! The reason is that the convertible is also a TIP and I need some space :-)

Had two coupes, sold one, closed a big real estate deal, then immediately picked up two more...so 3 at this time. The "gull wing" runs well, the midnight blue AND the Wimbledon M030 both have driver door handle issues that I am currently working through. I saw a '92 cab in Ventura a couple days ago for only $7700 with low miles, and it was everything I could do to not respond to the Craigslist add. The add was down right away, so somebody got a great deal. Yes, I know I have a sickness, also evidenced by the 3 Westfalia vans that I currently own (an '86, '89, and '91). Oh, and the fact that I live in a home in Sacramento as well as another home in Los Angeles, with vehicles in both garages.

No, there was another in hiding out there. It is a GP White/Marine Blue that I picked up in the Bay Area, and originally from New York. The Lambo doors were a complete hack job, so I sent it to a shop in Corona, CA to get it straightened out. They specialize in these doors, and have had it for almost a month. They said it will look like it came from the factory with Lambo doors installed. The hinge will be similar to the new BMW I8. I would never chop up a car just to install the doors but I could not help myself to put this back into shape. It almost went to the scrap yard, and I could not let that happen! I paid almost nothing for the car because the doors scared everybody away, but it otherwise was in great shape. I will post photos in a new thread when I get it back in a week or two. They have been taking photos along the way.

1 currently (a Cabriolet) i miss the previous 968s I've owned (3) and in a perfect world I'd still have all four of them plus a bunch of other cars I've sold over the years. Oh well, happy motoring <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/EmoticonCar.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
