I'm experiencing a minor love affair with Magnus' 964. Everything about Magnus is extroverted, from his personal appearance to his usual 3-color "boy racer" paint jobs.

We've been wrenching on "Project Boxster Clubsport" for quite a while now, and it just keeps getting better. We purchased the Porsche for a song, and have been slowly making some moves to drop the car's weight and add a little more fun. So far, we're really happy with what the Boxster has become, even though the motion of the project has been …

As the Amelia Island Concours D'Elegance continues to grow in size and prestige, it's almost too much to take in over the course of one day. So many cars, so little time.

What a race, and I mean what a race. Right from the start the team of Patrick Pilet, Dirk Werner and Frédéric Makowiecki were performing brilliantly, as was their new 911 RSR. With one fast lap after another the #911 car was in second place as we headed into the last hour of the race. Then with the waive of a yellow flag, and a full course caution, …

In 1987 the fastest car in the world didn't come from Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche. Though it looked like a Porsche, RUF's status as a manufacturer made the original CTR Yellowbird a model in its own right.
