Here’s an update on all of the FlatSixes project Porsches
2022 has been a year of change here in the FlatSixes garage. We've seen the departure of two 944s from the stable, as well as the addition of a 996 Turbo and a rusty-but-trusty beater Cayenne.

Whenever you're doing a task for the first time, it is bound to take several times longer due to a lack of experience with procedure and form.

We were very …

We've had this old 1976 Porsche 912E kicking around the garage for about five years, and mostly we've just been enjoying the experience of driving it. It's far from a perfect example with a little bit of rust and paint that doesn't even look good from ten feet. It's definitely a driver-grade classic and won't ever be a show machine. The car had …

The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry. We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for a few years, and it's been dormant for the last two trips around the sun.
