1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

What an amazing difference a decade makes! I hadn’t long before jumped out of a 1976 Ford Escort Mexico, before I sat behind the wheel of a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo.

Smooth! Cultured! Modern! Three words that came to mind as both cars were poles apart and while the Escort was certainly a lot of fun, it was noisy, hard riding and overall lacked the finesse the Porsche had in spades. Surely, the world of sporting cars had come a long way in the ten years to the mid-1980s.
