Modern vs. Classic Cars: The Joy of Driving

I would go for the last one you toook in picture, not for the " Mon Homme "... Do you imagine yourself driving a " Mon Homme " Porsche in Paris, near ZE Marais? Hmmmmm.... ;) Best, and thanks for this superb post, my friend. Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, have you seen this one in my barn yet? i can't remember if it was there when you visited me ... . It's a 1980 3 liter with 204 hp ... doesn't really feel like 200 hp .. but neither does our Jaguar :-) ... or does the Clio feel like 300 hp ? :-) . About the 911, it's the third time i tried it out and i must say each time it's getting better and better ... a shame it's a bit out of my league but i would really like a red one with the black Fuchs-wheels .... okay i'll stop now and conti

I was flashed at 260 Km / h, on the motorway back from Blois... Promised, next time I will drive slowly. ;) Best, Nicolas PS: Yes, I saw the old 911 3.2 in your barn... But the owner forgot to let you the keys. :)

Correct, do remember you saw it ... it's a 3.0 .. the 3.2 is the same model but younger and a bit more technically advanced ... the 964 is a 3.6 ... but that you knew:-) ... My lawyer friend here used to have the 964 RS ... he sold it and bought a 997 GT3 RS 3.8 with the money :-) Life's not fair ... when you s(h)it on a chair :-) Bim

I often thought of getting a 964, that last incarnation of what I thought was a very good car. Great values today. Will out handle a 911.

It is a sports car with 200 bhp and in its day was very fast. 200 bhp is easy these days and my 6 pot boxer 3 litre engine puts out 270 bhp in a boring 4 door sedan. My honda accord from 2003 was 200 bhp and that was a 4 door estate. But do we need this power when, especially in uk and europe where cameras are everywhere. G
