I think I’m going to have to start a category called Porsche Pictures That Piss Me Off. This should be post #1 in there. James C. sent me this yesterday saying I “might like this one A LOT!!!” Boy do I EVER! I’ve long had a love affair with early model Porsche 911 Turbos. Add [...]

Porsche 911 Turbo – Doorless Model

porsche 911 turbo cabriolet missing door side

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 [...]

This is an amazing find by a guy named Alex Nunez. He happened on what appears to be the first ever Porsche 911 Turbo at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance earlier last month. He said it was a little tucked out of the way and unless you read the placard in front of the car, you’d [...]

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, [...]
