    Who can spot the 3 retro nuggets? First one is easy but anyone else spot the others? 👀

      Clean car, I’ve got the white linen interior as well on my Marine Blau ‘87. Throw a Momo wheel on & turbo tie rods you’ll appreciate the enhanced steering feel. My speedo doesn’t have the inner ring with the Km indices. I caught the cube with the techno pop....Talking Heads, Pretenders & Stevie Ray Vaughn for this side of the pond.
      I’ve had my Carrera since ‘99 I’ll never sell her -recent rebuild cost as much as I paid for the car but worth it....better to be driven daily than just on Sundays that’s for the Ladies of Ferrari. Warm it up and drive hard, you can’t hurt them!

    Weird to think that 200 ish BHP today is pretty average from any 1.6 - 2.0 engines and not even extraordinary, and back 30-40 years ago it was the pinnacle of power.
    Great video 😊

    I recently bought my first air cooled although I have had a 997 and a Boxster in previous years. As I’ve got older (in my 60’s now) my cars have got older and for last ten years I’ve had a succession of V8 and straight 6 Mercs from the 70’s through to the 90’s.
    Thought I should get an air cooled before it’s too late…picked it up in May and it’s had quite a life having spent some years in Monaco as part of a wealthy collectors stable but he certainly used it frequently and used to drive it from Monaco to Austria for the skiing and then onto Norway to watch the Northern Lights!
    The car has clocked up 130k miles but very well maintained with refurbed gearbox, engine, suspension and Tuthill brakes plus a bare shell respray and new interior.
    Very analog in driving behaviour which I like (I can’t be doing with all that haptic guff) and having had cars with 400bhp I think there’s more fun to be had from wringing the neck of 230bhp in a fairly light car on the U.K. roads these days.
    Is it a keeper…not sure but it is growing on me every day 😎

    I have seen that car and it’s delightful. Your comments about more of this and that are bang on. I think that maybe the only recent car from a major manufacturer that fits that less is more ethos is the GR-86. Enough power and nice and simple.

    • @GoksCarLounge
      @GoksCarLounge  Před 7 měsíci

      Very interesting you say that, after I said it, I did take a moment to think “is there actually anything out there” and the GR86 was the immediate car that came to mind! Thanks dude :)

    Great video. Back in 1994 I bought a champagne 1984 that was very similar to this one - whale tail (which I never cared for), body-colored Fuchs wheels (which I did). It was my daily driver. Even then it was a bit of a step backward technologically, mostly bc of the lack of power steering. But every time I saw it parked in the driveway, or especially took it out for a spin, it brought me so much joy.
    I recently watched your video on the Tesla Model 3. I have a 2022 M3 LR. I know this comparison will sound sacrilegious but it also brings me joy. It’s an engineering marvel that I actually find fun to drive. Practical, blindingly quick, very precise steering, and like the 911, a little bit stiff. I do miss that Porsche, but I’m excited about the future of cars..

    Congrats, you are a true Petrol Head. Especially for being spot on describing the analog qualities of a G Pcar from your first drive. Suggest you drive a updated G body with a Wevo shifter, uprated motor with 20/21, LS with exhaust and tune. Electric AC is my next upgrade and yes I own and built a 87 3.4 ST backdate and a 88 3.4 steel turbo body-my true obsession and passion for over 20 years. There are no cars like the 87-89 G50 Pcars.

      "There are no cars like the 87-89 G50 Pcars" That's laughable. Do you honestly think the 915 cars are so different?

    Lovely content and style of presentation. Captures the emotion rather than the boring statistics that we all know. Also totally agree on the size point re the 992. Interested in your views on the cayman / boxster models, seem to capture a little more or the original porsche essence and usefully smaller.
