This is what happens when a seemingly sane man, comes up with a less then sensible idea! As you might guess, this guy is me.

Several months back, I was at a local cars show with my 1979 Porsche 930. As I was admiring it and looking at all the people taking pictures of it, something happened. The most amazingly beautiful red 87 Porsche with RS America body trim pulled up next to my car. I thought to my self, how could this car out shine my pristine Porsche 930? Moments later, I found myself in a wonderful conversation with the owner. It turns out he is a somewhat famous clothing manufacturer, and car collector. We had been talking for sometime when he mentioned that the Porsche might be for sale, if the price was right. He threw out a price that I thought was about $10,000 high, but it didn’t matter, I wasn’t going to buy it. As the day progressed and I walked around the car show, I thought once again to myself. I could buy the 87 Porsche (best year ever built), and take the motor and trans from the car, and put it in my Porsche 930...then do a back date kit to an RSR. Makes sense, RIGHT? The 1987 Porsche has the 3.2L motor, G50 transmission, better AC and suspension. I can’t believe how brilliant I am. I would build myself one of the “SINGER 911” for a fraction of the price, a lot less then $400,000. I was able to put a deal together with the owner later that day, and the mental preparation started. When I got the car, I drove it for a couple days to assess my purchase and the overall condition of the car. I found it to be a wonderful driver, with a couple small issues. The transmission shifted wonderful but the shifter was loose, and the engine had a minor oil leak. I brought the car over to Competition Porsche Specialists, and had Herb redo the front and rear shifter bushings, and fix the oil leaks. The car was at the shop for about 3 weeks being repaired. In that time a silly little thought came into my mind. “What the hell am I thinking!” I’m going to take 2 amazingly beautiful cars, and use them to make a car I hope to be half as nice as the ones I started with. The lights and bells in my head were going off saying, abort project, abort project. In a split second of clarity I was able to save 2 beautiful cars from the hands of a mad man. So now I have the car, and really no need for it, so I really should sell it.

The car is a 1987 Porsche 911 Targa, with an RS America body kit. I was told that all the parts are factory Porsche, including the rear tail. The 3.2L motor was rebuilt about 70k miles ago, and the trans was done more recently. The paint on the car looks factory, or maybe even better. There is only a couple of very small rock chips on the front of the car. The interior is in fantastic shape, and the seat have just been redone, The Targa top has also been redone. The car sits on some light weight Porsche ROH race wheels, and the tires are almost full rubber. The car has an upgraded alarm, stereo, power windows and locks, and the Air Conditioning is ICE Cold. The car runs and drives wonderful, and could be used as a show car or daily driver. I have set the reserve at a very reasonable amount to ensure the car sells. Please ask all questions before bidding.

Watch a marksman go clay shooting from a Porsche 911

Tue, Dec 8 2015

A Porsche 911 is exciting. Firing a shotgun at clay pigeons is also exciting. And when you combine the two? An amazing video. This video features British master marksman Phillip Thorrold as he takes on a very different form of competitive shooting, because traditional sporting clays, trap, and skeet must be too boring. By mounting a clay pigeon trap to the hood of a Porsche 911 Targa, Thorrold has melded driving and shooting in a way that hasn't been seen since James May and Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear tried to rethink the biathlon. The Brit makes short work of the clays with his over-under shotgun. Even as he runs form spot to spot to intercept the Porsche, he has no trouble downing the discs as they're launched unpredictably from the speeding, sliding 911. He then hops in the passenger seat and proceeds to take out the tiny, orange clays while zipping down a country road. If that's not awesome enough, the clays have been fitted with exploding discs, for that extra bit of excitement. We've posted the entire three-minute video at the top of the page. Even if you aren't into competitive shooting, this is a spectacle you aren't going to want to miss. Please don't try this at home. Related Video:

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...

VW Group to split brands under four holding companies

Tue, Jun 16 2015

The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
