1957 356 Cabriolet Restoration – Part 11

It’s been nearly a month since our last update from James on the 1957 Porsche 356 Cabriolet he’s working on restoring. We’ve got two updates this time around. Here’s the first from James… In the last installment I started fitting the front structure together. Now we will go further with that. The project starts to […]

Porschefy Your Firefox Web Browser

Lyndon, the ever faithful sender of interesting Porsche finds, sent over an email today with a link to something called Personas that allow you to customize your Firefox web browser with a Porsche based theme (or thousands of other themes). Here’s a quick sample of one I loaded up in my browser: Here’s a link […]

Porsche Number 1 – Where It All Began

I ran across this old press release and photos about Porsche No. 1 as it was headed to Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance a couple of years ago. This is great history lesson on the first Porsche ever build (and driven) way back in 1947/48. For those of you who don’t know the history of the […]

1957 356 Cabriolet Restoration – Part 10

James sent over an update last week on the 1957 Porsche 356 Cabriolet restoration. From James… In the last report we did the right side rocker. After it was welded, we had a run of bad weather, so we couldn’t get out for sand blasting the inside of the left rocker. That got put on […]

1957 356 Cabriolet Restoration – Part 7

We’ve got some serious progress to report. Well, I use the term “we” very VERY loosely since I’m just posting the work James is actually DOING. From James… I know that at the end of the last installment I said that we would cover the outer rockers but I moved to the back instead. We […]

Porsche Cayenne Tractor

Maybe my dad is right. Maybe the Porsche Cayenne is really just a vehicle for those with too much money to show you how much money they have. This is darn near as bad as the Porsche pulling the travel trailer. I wonder if someone at Porsche is keeping track of all these uses to […]

Fat Porsche 911 Carrera

Nope, I wasn’t going after the slang version of the word to show you how up on youth culture I was 5 years ago. I meant literally FAT. I’m not sure where this car is on display at the moment, but it turns out to be one that’s made the rounds to various museums and […]
