I came across an interesting article today on The Independent in their Motoring section. Before I get into that though, why is it that the UK seems to have more motor enthusiasts, publications and general information per square inch of land than … [Continue reading]

Used Porsche Prices Round 2
January 21, 2009 by
I'm still a little baffled at some of the prices I'm seeing for used Porsches. Especially older ones. Here's a couple of examples: This is a 1982 911 with this as the ad: A very nice car. All has been rebuilt and upgraded. I would prefer to … [Continue reading]
