I'm just thinking that a collective website for UK owners would be very useful. www.924.org is great but for us UK owners parts information/pricing is a little confusing/useless etc. Perhaps if we all got together in some form UK information could be shared better. If enough PPL were interested I would put together a website.

Some simple questions I would like to ask are:

Where are you (location in the UK)

Whats your opinion of UK based parts dealers/breakers?

Who has bought parts in the UK? What did you think to the quality/service?

Anyone bought GRP panels here? From who? What was the quality like?

Is there a UK based 924/944/968 specific owners club?

Would any of you guys be interested?

Thanks Chrenan.

I knew someone must have done it. Oddly enough I know a few of the posters on that e-group!

I dunno, i think the collective knowledge on the this board and the fact that it is pretty much a 24/7 place because we're all spread out it a major plus point. When I need UK specific info I just state that in the subject line, always get the answers pretty quick.

i agree with 5150, this site is as good if not better the a UK based one would be as the cars are pretty much the same, the info i have got from here has been invalueable
