Transport

Autotrans (Toll Auto) provided the best quote to get the car to Canberra from Perth, $1100. OK, so that's what I paid for the car, but it's still a cheap buy. Should be here on the 11th June!

Finding a Porsche

I've always wanted a Porsche 924. I had a poster of one as a kid. There was a lot of debate in the motoring press in the 70s as to whether the 924 could really be considered a proper Porsche. The fact that it was spurned by so many in the motoring community has worked to my advantage. The costs are lower than other Porsches, and because of the high use of the VW/Audi parts bin, the repair costs are quite reasonable too.

So, I started looking for one. Annoyingly, there aren't that many available in Australia, and the prices are pretty high. After a month of looking, I found a suitable candidate on eBay; a good runner, with some panel damage. The 924's were only sold until 1982 in Australia, but this one is 1984 - a personal import from the UK. Now to get it from Perth to Canberra!
