PCA Special Edition Pen

I have to admit I was a little surprised and skeptical when I got an email from Alan Shaw of Shaw Pens asking me to give him a call. He claimed to be responsible for designing and producing the recent PCA special edition carbon fiber pen. I took a quick look at his site, though, […]

Porsche 993 Promotion Videos

Lyndon sent me these videos a couple of months ago. Just got around to watching them this past week. The quality isn’t great, but there is some great footage and good commentary in all three. My two favorite moments are when the guy is talking about the workers going to the Porsche factory each day […]

RUF Roadster Goodness

RUF recently announced a project they’ve been working on  for while, the RUF Roadster. Inspired by the 1967 Porsche 911 Targa, the 911 based car is a gorgeous blend of old and new. Reminds me of the Singer Porsche I posted about last year (Singer Porsche 911). This is a special 911. Here are some […]

Porsche Revive The Passion Project

I mentioned this project a while back, but didn’t realize until recently that they were tracking it’s progress through a special site. Over the next 12 months, Porsche will restore a 1973 Porsche 911 T Coupe. The finished car will be raffled off among PCA members. It seems Porsche isn’t the only one following a […]

Colorful Porsche 911 Turbo Pictures

While my wife and I were in Hood River, Oregon this summer, celebrating our anniversary, we came across an amazing group of Porsches. Unfortunately we didn’t have a better camera with us, but we snapped some quick pictures of this group two different times. All 4 of these 911 Turbos were parked outside the Columbia […]

For some reason, this put a smile on my face this morning. It’s funny how some of the simplest videos make you feel like you’re in the midst of the action. I could feel myself racing up to 186 mph. Sound is amazing too.

Porsche Entering Formula 1, Or Not?

I’ve read quite a bit about this over the last nearly two months and I’m wondering what the general consensus is. Many sites claim Porsche is entering Formula 1, but I haven’t seen anything recently. I’m also wondering how the potential issues with the VW merger may impact Porsche’s ability to pull if off. Not […]

Porsche 911 Turbo – Doorless Model

I usually try and avoid the wrecked exotics type sites. They’re just plain sad to me. This one isn’t quite that bad, but still sad. Seems the driver had just parked his Porsche 911 Turbo (the driver said it was about 8 months old) in a curbside parking space. When he flung his door open […]

Oldest Porsche Found And Crowned

Porsche announced a couple of weeks ago the winner of it’s 60th Anniversary Celebration search for the oldest Porsche in America. Based on the press release, it looks like they had a significant number of submissions. Pretty amazing. Here are a couple they highlighted along with a few details about each: 1952 356 Cabriolet This […]

Porsche 911 GT3 Video

I can’t remember who sent me a link to this video, but it’s a bit older one. Richard Hammond from Top Gear, gets some seat time in a Porsche 911 GT3. Great video.
