Hello to all and greetings from the north. First of all my apologies for writing in English, I recently moved to east of Lausanne from Finland and despite my efforts have not in this half a year had the time to learn proper French.

I am a long time Porsche enthusiast and previously owned a slate grey 964 C2. Reluctantly sold it when we moved here. I am now searching for a 964 turbo and will have couple of questions regarding where to look and where to service. I will post these questions in the correct forums if you accept them in English.

Can't wait to find my new Porsche, especially here where you can enjoy even the classics throughout the year.

Best Regards,
Miika

Good luck in your Porsche hunt.

Alan, excellent avatar I love it! ;-) Although has the common typo, not my name but the chocolate brand.

Gilles, thanks I will go through the forums with Google translate to avoid too many questions which have been addressed before. Also the example you linked fits my screening quite well.

Good research, and very good choice 964 turbo II, is a magnificent automobile, it is necessary to see it a lot before fixing your choice, my garage owner import from the US and speaks English. Where my 964 turbo is maintained.

Hi Miika,

Welcome on the forum.

This morning, I passed a motorbike in a curve on the highway at Villars Ste Croix (I was with a pickup with a 911 plate) with a Finish plate: was it you?

Hello Miika and welcome!!!
You should talk with Magnus (coming also from Finland, i believe). He's one of the members of the Carreraclub.
Last but not least this guy owns a really nice 965 guards red!.

Looking forward to meet you in the next DDM! ;-)

Moi Miika! (This means "Hi Miika" in Finnish, not "Me, Miika" :-D )

First of all, tervetuloa! (Yes, that means "Welcome".)

It's been a very long time since I logged into the Carreraclub, sorry about that. I'm also originally from Finland, from Jakobstad/Pietarsaari. (I live just outside Geneva on the French side, I work at CERN.)

I have a 1991 964 Turbo 3.3 and I can only recommend a 964 Turbo, they are great cars! ...But having said that, personally I'm getting quite fed up with the old K-jet, so I have been working on swapping out that and replacing it with a modern EFI. ...But more about that in another thread. ;-)

I found my car on one of the big "second-hand-car-sites" in Switzerland. I don't know what the moderator thinks about ads for sites in particular so I won't put it here, but there's a "...out24.ch" in the name. :-$

Looking at the date of your first message, perhaps you have already found something?

Good luck and welcome again!

Flat6-terveisin, (Yes, with "Flat6-greetings".)
Magnus :-)

Moi Magnus,

Indeed I was on the hunt for a 964 turbo, but fell on the dark side and just signed a deal on 996 turbo -03. Now I just need to wait for couple of weeks for the delivery.

How I could justify myself a watercooled? I want to enjoy the car all the year round and I just couldn't see myself driving the 964 through all this salt. And at least now I have something to wait for in the future when I have more garage space ;)

Cheers,
Miika
