Dam my Rolex obsession!!!!!!! Because of it I have stopped giving my 911SC all the love I once did. The 911 is getting jealous! I have no desire to get back to the interior restoration I was doing. Oh well.

Don't do that! There's room for both passions. While I love my rolex, I also take pride in my 1974 Cadillac Eldorado and my recent addition, a 1999 Carrera. While I get great enjoyment out of my watch and this forum, I also enjoy my car meets with the Porsche club and Cadillac club. Those meets are a ton of fun and add to my passions.

Arron, don't loose interest in your other hobbies. Just learn to prioritize and spend time at each hobby you enjoy!!!

Zman86 · 9 April 2009, 01:04 PM

Well, if you dont want to care for it anymore, you can just give it too me and I'll show it all the love it will ever need

Poohsan · 9 April 2009, 01:25 PM

I cant give it away as I drive it to the office everyday. But I will take some pixs soon.

Stop polishing your Rolex and start working on your car

In many ways, the 911SC is a lot more fun to drive than even the newest 997. It's stiff suspension and tight, heavy steering and brakes make it feel more like a sports car than the heavy luxo-GT car it has become. If you've got one of these cars, I'd certainly hold on to it and take care of it. Here are some pictures of the last model 911 SC before the Carrera was introduced in 1984.

The older 911's have character. Great looking car.

GMTJOHNNY · 10 April 2009, 02:40 PM

I have similar issues!

East Bay Rider · 10 April 2009, 10:54 PM

That's one of my grail cars.

I let go of my 928S4 years ago :-( miss her dearly, nearly picked up a nice 911SC couple years ago but the other half reminded me about baby seats and finances LOL so its the family sedan for me.

Well, some cars are just better equipped for transporting small children than a 911.

Flaxmoore · 11 April 2009, 03:43 AM

I feel your pain. My dad's been doing a frame-off restoration of his 356B for the last few years. I love driving that car- can't wait until it's done!

Cheers,

Dave.

Thanks, that car may be gone, but that little face has grown into a great driver that I am proud to toss the keys to.

Sorry for the hijack. Here's an action shot of a 911SC to start bringing it back around.
