Porsche 944 s2 Cabriolet.
208ft/lbs of Torque 211 BHP, striaght 4
bought and owned since 2000,
paid £10k in 2000

44 is front engine, rear wheel drive, rear transaxle, so the balance is perfect 50/50.

All options, and in 91, the standard options list was higher than anything available on the market at the time.

No traction control, but has ABS which is ok, but not really ideal, I want something with (sorry I said traction control) I ment Electronic stability control. which assist's with braking.

With snow tyres and possibly chains I shoulndt have too much problems.

and your ride is.....

I ran the Thames Valley Chapter of the Porsche Club for about 5 years.
so my knowledge on the subject matter is high

Early 911's you could have problems with.

all depends on wether you know how to drive one.

dont forget you have an 80litre tank up front, when thats full of petrol that is indeed quite a bit of weight

Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, knew how to build his cars

If you own and treasure a classic porsche, rather than ruin it driving with snow chains and gritted roads maybe best to go for the 6 months of the year option you mentioned .
after experiencing how easy it is to spin a 911 I would rather get a bus than drive 1 in the snow but maybe i just liked to bury my foot a little too much

hey snowdog,

thats of cousre an option as wife has a dodge caravan

BTW

what is the score on what you pay.

here in uk we pay

1> Insurance (for year)
2> Road tax (for year but can pay 6 months at a time)
3> MOT = last 1 year for car road worthyness

whats the dileo in can ?

1. Lots more, like waaaaaaaaaay more. Try kanetix.ca for a ballpark quote.
2. $75 a year
3. Is none, not even a smog test for something that old. Safety is only needed to register a new (used) purchase.

thankxs iaink

have the kanetix site already, sounds like at present wifes "shared" insurance may be best bet

cool, on 2&3

I suspect if you import it it will need to be safetied before you can register it here. Should be < $100, plus any work needed to meet local standards.

Could be wrong though, what does the RIV site or MTO say if anything?

Ask your wife she would know

yeah but she's a girl

this is man stuff which Im supposed to know about automatically

from what I understand

its just a quick check at Canadian Tyre

and also a paperwork I need to complete

k22 m22 ? something the customes guy mentioned

I thought canadian tire (note spelling ) took care of inspection of US spec vehicles for things like daytime running lights etc on the gopvernments behalf. Im not sure that applies to importing a non US market VINTAGE vehicle where the usual standards are waived? You might want to double check.

Oakvillian imported his old Morgan from the UK, he would know if you need a safety certificate to register an import for Canadian roads.

I thought she was some big wig in a Logistics company Trucks,planes and ships, is that not a guy thing I susspect where you come from women are may be second class citizens

I'm not a fan of London either, but surely it's not that bad.
