I'd LOVE to see an ongoing series to see how far you can get. Whether it be upgrade all the way to high end sports cars or vintage classics. That would be amazing!

Can we have a video of Alex's mother looking it over and driving it? It'll be wonderful to see her fawning over it... or absolutely tearing into it... whichever way it may go. Also, that documentation is a thing of absolute beauty. Mad props to the guy who collated and curated that collection, that is some true passion and enthusiasm. Look after the car, guys!

I have always loved the 944. Now you've got me thinking about shopping in my car... hmmmm... Haven't watched this channel in a while and frankly I forgot how good it is. It's also given me the motivation to do some bits and bobs to my car that needing doing... Cleaning it, being one of them (special treat for sailing through its MOT today).

I think we all want you to keep trading up this has been awesome to watch .. cheers

Awesome lil series! Would definitely want to see more of this! Love the content, definitely missing the podcast!

As much as I love the 944, I was so upset you guys didn't get the Monaro. They're a classic Australian car made and sold in Australia as Holden's but GM sold them as a Vauxhall over there. Holden has been slowly dying since 2013 when they stopped making their cars in Australia and have just died completely closing doors last year. Since then the price of Monaro's have skyrocketed they go for anywhere between $50k and $250k depending on model and condition.

Love this channel! genuinely funny, down to earth guys and great content!

This has been a great series guys, looking forward to another in the future.

You guys have bought my dream car! Amazing to see one on the channel, hope it's next owner keeps up with the service documentation as well as past owners. A 944 is of my upmost priority once I get driving and have a few years of NCD

Smashing job lads! Great series and hope you do another one.

Because that’s all it’s worth. You could spend 30k on a full strip down restoration but it will still only be worth what the market says it’s worth, you would get a bit of of a jump because of the condition but you will never get your money back. Who knows why they sold it, circumstances change, I emigrated last year and had to sell both of my cars, one I intended to keep the rest of my life and the other I’d only bought 9 months earlier. You never know what’s around the corner.

Brilliant series, no more to say

I've really enjoyed this series, you might want to continue with it. Although, don't sell the 944, you'll regret it. I've owned a 944 S2 from my 20th to 26th, 6 years later I still regret selling it, especially when seeing you guys get so excited about it!

Love to see you both get so genuinely excited about a car - whilst going straight over Ethan's head 🙆

You guys are really starting to feel like old Top Gear. Spot on!

Probably my favorite 944 I've ever seen is some mad lad took the 5.4 liter M28/50 out of a 928 and stuffed it in and then somehow mated it to a T56 transmission. If I remember right he built that engine a bit above 500 horses. Absolute mad lad. Loved that car.

great series, would love to see you carry on from where you’re at :)

Bought a civic type r EP3 a few years ago, mugen everything and on coilovers. I ended up putting the oem shocks back on. Can't mount on a pavement to park so narrow street parking is a no go, you'll scratch the body on the pavement if you're not careful when parking, ride quality is horrific if it's a daily and not a track monster, handling was impeccable and it looked beautiful, at the sacrifice of comfort and convenience.

There was a Torana of this vintage in Australia that was a similar body shape and came with a "tent" You open the hatch and the tent would attach to the hatch and bumper and make your 3 door into a camper! It didn't take off.
