Given that most of the exhibits at the Porsche museum are still roadworthy, what better way to show them off then driving them in events they were built for. Well, Porsche plans to do just that with the introduction of the "Museum on Wheels" concept for the first half of 2011.

A little over three (3) years ago, when we first started FlatSixes.com, we were one of just a few online resources dedicated specifically to Porsche (excluding the well known forums of course).

I'm hoping to start a bit of a discussion with this post. Let's talk about the ways you get information on and about Porsche.
