Absolutely loved this episode with two of my favourite Porsche personalities! Have loved the 944 since it first came out and have seen (And followed) Andy’s car so many times over the years that it’s like a familiar face now. Most often seen chock full of plastic containers and boxes full of Stuttgart South flags, shirts and hoodies so the car really is a practical thing! One point to add as a once 928 owner and something Porsche fans will likely appreciate is that part of the reason the 944 can fit a relatively tall four pot engine under such a low and sleek nose is because it has it’s engine heavily canted over to one side, a by product of the engine starting life as one “Half” of the 928 V8 engine with one bank of cylinders removed. So thank you for this latest video on behalf of all of us Porsche fans who are hurriedly heading to Autotrader and Pistonheads now to look up 944 prices.
944 is looking tuff. I really see the appeal of these. I was trying to watch this casually, but I think I need to set some time aside to absorb the nerdy details.
I absolutely love how slowly the 944 and transaxle cars are being appreciated by the Porsche community. The 944 was the highest selling Porsche until the Boxter. Without the transaxle cars, Porsche may not be around today. Also change those fuel lines! That style of fuel line routing is incredibly prone to rupturing due to age. Since they're right over the exhaust manifold, it's an instant disaster.
Superb addition to the channel, the 944 is definitely a missed gem by most, they are a cracking drive. Brilliant video guys, thoroughly enjoyed it, loving the passion Andy. #stuttgart_south 👍😎
Nice video thanks. I had a lovely Baltic blue S2 with an Lsd back in the day , it drove amazingly well, certainly as good as my 911. Very underrated vehicles. Thanks again.
I really like this model there are some really great features the guys pointed out. I'm curious about the front bumper light and indicator set up. The Euro bumper override and frame are removed but I couldn't see if there is another frame around the headlight and indicator. I would like to change mine to look the same.
Can it actually fit a mountain bike in though? Genuine question as I'll be in the market for one soon. For reference, my own MTB has a wheelbase of 1300mm axle to axle!
It's lovely that you've done video on 944, it's a shame that it was a bit ratty one. If you'll have a chance to drive a proper S2/968 or Turbo S/89+ Turbo use it.
I love the no nonsense approach that the owner has. Use it or why bother having it.

Some 944 love! 😃
Is there a 944 in your future Frank? 😜
The episodes just keep getting better and better Frank. Thank you!

Well done Andy 👏
Cool car 👍
I'm lucky to work with Andy, a great guy and truly passionate about cars.
Great stuff. I've been after a 944 project for a while now, nice to see one featured!
I've liked it before watching it.....I love thee owner car indepth info vids.
Beautiful, love the cup 1's
Stumbled across this, think it needed an introduction, was like walking into a conversation halfway through.

I love this channel
That is hilarious, I also have to flick my hazards on and off to fix my indicators! Glad it wasnt just my 944
I appreciate you showing other Porsches besides the 911! Even tho i love the 911.

The seats are exactly the same as in my 1990 944 S2 cab 🙂
Turbo seats....

I've had my Santa cruz 5010 in my 944 both wheels off and loosened the stem
Will 964 17” cup ones fit on my 1988 924s

I had the same stereo im my car.
Lots of nice goodies, cup wheels, cup mirrors, turbo seats, suspension , nicely made but not original
Need some cup holders
What year is this car made?
1986 - but 944 made between 1983-1991 I think.
20:23 I have been watching this and thinking, “I really like that color”. 😉
24:32 Ha! I did notice! (Pats self on back)
