Some Sweet Porsche Design Stuff

It seems like every time you hit the Porsche Design site, you find something new you don’t think you can live without……or maybe that’s just my problem. Guess I need to go to therapy and get some help. In the meantime, here are a few really cool Porsche Design items I’ve come across lately. Porsche [...]

An Amazing LEGO Porsche 911 Turbo

LEGO Porsche 911 Turbo Cab front

I have a friend who loves LEGOs. He even worked for the company as a designer at one point. The guy has more LEGOs than many small stores do. The detail that some people can see in their minds, then figure out how to get there using something like LEGOs is mind blowing to me. [...]

The Ultimate Father’s Day Gift

Looking for that something extra EXTRA special to get dad for Father’s Day? You’re in luck. I just found what could possible be the ultimate Father’s Day gift. Put together by the American Le Mans Series, the Ultimate Father’s Day Package includes some serious swag, including a Porsche 911! The center piece of this package [...]

Black & Decker Products Your Friends And Family Will Love You For

Black & Decker recently sent me a little package containing products that I have to say are life savers. Especially for a techie geek like me who loves cars, as well as a techie family with all sorts of electronics that make their way into our travels both near and far. Up until B&D sent [...]

PCA Special Edition Pen

PCA Carbon Fiber 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, [...]

Fanatec Does The Racing Wheel ONE BETTER!!!

You may recall my review about a month and a half ago of the Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S Racing Wheel. If you didn’t catch the drift of my review, I absolutely LOVED the wheel setup and felt it was the best I’d ever tried. As crazy as this may sound, Fanatec has outdone themselves [...]

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a big watch fan. I’m not any sort of a collector, but I appreciate a fine time piece and would love to have the means to buy one or two on my list. You can guess, then, that I’m all for any reason that comes up for Porsche Design to [...]

Porsche Club of America TAG Heuer Watch

Two things that I absolutely love are pens and watches. My wife really doesn’t get it and just shakes her head when I start talking about some cool watch I saw or a pen I’d love to have in my little collection. Unfortunately, when you are mesmerized by things like pens and watches, the habit [...]

Activision Blur Game Review

We haven’t covered too many non-Porsche specific things over the life of this blog, but every once in a while something comes along that I think is worth mentioning to fellow auto enthusiasts. Especially those interested in sports cars like Porsche. Despite the recent number of video game related things I’ve posted about, this is [...]

Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S Racing Wheel Review

fanatec-standard-racing-pedals

For as long as I’ve been playing video games (admittedly a long time), I’ve loved playing racing games. They’ve always been my favorite. Pole Position was probably the first “real” racing game I got addicted to. I played it until I could finish it consistently every time on a single quarter. From that point on, [...]
