Alright, I couldn’t pass this one up. I was putting away the magazines I had used for this series and ran across this one. Of course it HAS to go into the series since it has a 911 Turbo Slantnose on the cover! Another issue of Excellence (obviously) from June 1988. Here are some articles […]
Dry-Sump on 2009 Porsche 911
February 6, 2009 by
Before you dismiss this as “too technical”, you have to watch the video. Porsche rigged up a test system for it’s engine that looks like it’d be more at home at your local carnival than at the Porsche factory (think tilt-a-whirl). The video is short and it’s worth watching. In a nutshell, Porsche has put […]
Porsche Winter Fantasy Camp
February 6, 2009 by
I have a confession to make. I’m sure it’s not going to surprise any other 911 owners out there. With all of the rain we get in the Northwest, it’s pretty common to have wet streets most of the winter. I have a buddy who used to have a 911, and he was a master […]

Tempting Porsches #7
February 3, 2009 by
Here’s the latest findings that tempt me to go out and find some cash to buy. Tempting Porsche #1 “Get Your Sweetheart a Porsche This Year!” At least the ad title was catchy. I’d love to find a 928S or 928S4 to buy some day. This one is tempting because even with the crapola pictures, […]
Porsche Convertible Sliding Off the Road
February 3, 2009 by
I can see driving a Porsche on the snow. No problem there. But driving a convertible, on the snow, with the top DOWN?! I don’t know that the heaters would be enough to make that enjoyable. I had to watch this a couple of times. Just great how they swing around the corner and slow […]
Whale Tail – “The sea was angry that day, my friends.”
January 31, 2009 by
As you may have guessed by now, I have a man crush of sorts on the 911 Turbo. Really any model or year of Turbo. It started many years ago when I first started loving Porsches. It didn’t take long before I discovered the wickedest Porsche of them all (at least from a kid’s perspective)…the […]
Drive a Porsche for Free
January 29, 2009 by
I have a buddy that used to buy and sell used cars. He would always find a great deal on all kinds of cars. Some of my favorites were several Porsches (a 944, a slant nose 911 Turbo look, and a 911SC), a Corvette, and a Mercedes 450SL. The amazing thing was his ability to […]
