You can drive something unique and not have to put a mint into it. That's what Kevin Lynch says of his awesome Bahama Yellow 1968 Porsche 912 he affectionately calls "The Bahammer". The stock 90-ish horsepower 1.6-liter flat four has been pumped up quite a bit by Benton Performance in Anaheim, and now features a set of twin-plug cylinder heads, …

Sliding sideways on a snowy test course while listening to Strauss. It's something many a sophisticated Porschephile imagines themselves doing, but often, they either lack the hardware, the setting, or the skills to make it happen.

I feel for right-seaters in rally cars, I really do, especially on gravel. Even while reading the pace notes, they are completely at the mercy of the driver. On this test route, the person in the navigator's position appears to be simply acting as ballast. Based on their clothing, they may well be an unsuspecting member of the team. I'm sure they …

In the interest of full disclosure, I am one of the organizers of Radwood and while I regularly contribute to this site, I was encouraged to bring a piece of my car show to FLATSIXES.com. I was way too busy working to make sure the event ran smoothly to take many photographs of my own, but some of my friends have contributed their pictures for you …
