A lot of the people I talk to tell me they think their Porsche is a "work of art." I find it hard to disagree. The iconic design of the Porsche 911 got its start 40 years ago with the introduction of the type 901 by Professor Ferdinand Alexander “Butzi” Porsche.

Searching for Used Porsche Parts
When it comes to the maintenance on your Porsche are you a Do It Yourself (DIY) type of owner? If so, and maybe even if you’re not, then this post is for you. As a kid, I used to relish taking the time to fix a problem on my then current ride of choice. My family didn’t have a lot of money growing up, so my cars were usually whatever I could …

On Monday I posted about choosing the right tire for your Porsche (any Posche). Specifically, I discussed how the new Sumitomo HTR Z III Tire contradict the concept of having to pay (or over pay) for quality. My review was based on 1500 miles or so of ordinary and spirited street driving. Today's post is a review, compliments of John D. (Founder …

When I purchased my 1997 Porsche 993 C4S the odometer read 24,000 miles. From the service history I could see that it had four new tires installed (Continental ContiSportContact 2s) less than 4,000 miles ago.

Just about a month ago I asked the question Can Driving Games help you Improve Your Track Skills? A few of you wrote in and said you thought that most definitely they do.

Experienced cabriolet owners will probably laugh after reading this post. Once you pick yourself up off the floor please take a minute to let me know what else can be added to the list. I’m sure there are many more items that would be quite useful. The set-up Northern New England experienced its first taste of spring yesterday. With …

This has to be the coolest Porsche related item yet. Take a look at the picture on the left, any idea what it is? Give up? It’s a PC. That’s right, it’s a computer! No, it’s not another industrial design win from the Porsche Design Group. It’s a machine created by a member of the TBCS Community Forum who goes by the username of …

The answer just may depend on how your system is set-up. Most people I know complain that they lose all “seat of the pants” feedback when it comes to car racing simulators and video games. With the introduction of Fanatec’s Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel, that objection may just go away. Fanatec's Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel is an officially Porsche …

In last week’s post on my most recent eBay find, I suggested it was the gift for the Porsche owner who has it all. As it turns out, there is no end in sight to the choices afforded those of us who are fanatical about all things Porsche, thanks to the Porsche Design Group.
