Filed to: Porsche Design GroupBy:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, my love of Porsche was not at first sight, it was love at first sound! I was 13, it was the early '80s and an air-cooled 911 was threading its way through my neighborhood. As it passed me, the driver looked over, smiled and grabbed another gear as he accelerated away.

Filed to: Porsche ArtworkBy:
