3 Porsche Events I’d Love to Attend

I used to go to a lot of car shows when I was a teenager and even into my early 20’s. I loved seeing all of the cars in one place. Dreaming about driving them fast on an open road. One of my favorite auto show moments was at a show in Portland, OR. I […]

Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition

It’s no secret how I feel about Gemballa. I love their creations and have for a number of years now. Known for never leaving well enough alone, Gemballa took on the Carrera GT a few years ago. Again, not one to leave well WELL enough alone, they decided to release a special edition called the […]

Weekly Porsche Wrap

Porsche’s new boss – I bookmarked this post on BusinessWeek.com a week or so ago, but just got around to reading it. An interesting synopsis of who Michael Macht is and what parts he’s played in Porsche over the last 19 years. Worth a quick read. Sounds like he’s the opposite of Wiedeking. Be interesting […]

Porsche GT3 Patron Cup – Part 2

Here’s part 2 of Ruthless Bookie’s slideshow. A few laps later in the second slideshow, #24 gets it back in spades with a little help from #47. This was bad enough to red-flag the race, and that was the end of that. As a side note, these cars from the factory are $368,000.00 before improvements. […]
