Hi guys i see ur both local may have seen u about in ur cars as i live here in Bristol but my car is new. I have an 82 924 which i am getting upto origional standard. Not many miles yet myself but it runs well so far but am currently replacing the whole of the back brakes.

Hiya,
we should have a discussion section for S/W UK only !!!!

Haven't had the 924 long, picked it up just south of Bris airport. Just had a new clutch fitted and it's like a new car. COMPLETELY different to drive. Having tested a few 924's and been warned they have a heavy clutch (which was the case with all the cars I drove) this one now has the feel of (I hate to say it) my new-is ford.

So where does the S/W chapter of the 924 appreciation club hold its first meeting ??

What year color and model 924 do u guys drive here in the the SW?
What have u had done to ur cars so far?

1980 (X), Metallic Silver, with a sort of "time-tunnel" brown & Beige (checker board) trim. Nothing other than a new clutch done so far, although it's been given a health check and came out very well.

Looking to replace the std 8 spokes with better looking alloys, and to fit a 924/944 tailgate with spoiler (once I've recovered from the cost of the clutch).

Cool i saw one similar colour to your car the other week parked in the car park of sainsbury's in Emersons Green. Looked nice.
Mine is a light blue 82 model havent done anything major yet but am replacing the rear brakes at the moment

My 87 has 164,000 Miles and the dealer the said the compression was still right on the mark. So im expecting many more fun miles to come.

Weyhey some fellow Bristolians! I thought I was about the only English chap on this site.

Questions, questions, questions.

I am short and have my hair short so Minime kind of made sense,

I have a shiny Guards Red 1983 924, completely original and gorgeous

Only had it 2 months so the only work I have had done was welding the centre pipes back on to the mid section after it came loose going down a rather bumpy farm track whilst camping. Good general condition but as with these old cars there is always something else to do, new brake disks, windscreen wipers, stone chips, light bulbs etc.

Were about in your respective towns are you from? I got flat in Westbury, nice area but the rent is killing me.

I have only seen one white 924 and one red one since I bought the car.

I LIVE IN EMERSONS GREEN HAS SEEN 4 5 924'S
HERE IN BRISTOL
A RED C REG IN BRADLEY STOKE
A RED ONW WENT PAST ME THE OTHER WAY UP BY THE DOWNS TOO.
A WHITE MARTINI ONE
AND A SILVER/BROWN ONE.
AND A DARK BLUE ONE IN TOWN
HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 3 MONTHS PAID £1300 FOR IT AND THINK IT GREAT.

I'm just out side of Frome, close to Westbury.
The Car cost me £1050 a few weeks ago. Mechanically it's v.good, but it's got an anoying rattle from the back (think it's the back seat catch ?) It's had some respray work at some time, but there doesn't appear to be any bent panels on it (the door got dented some time ago & was replaced). Paint works not the best (better since I took off the crappy decals) but its OK until I find the Red Turbo or 944 Cabrio I want.

I bet the red on the downs was mine, I am always up and that road as it is on my way home or Whiteladies.
