The PorschePurist team was fairly busy the last week or so with Daytona and a few other projects. With all the excitement there were a number of items from the Porsche PR machine that didn't make it out in the newsletter or to the front page of the site. For those of you that might have missed them, we've compiled them below for your viewing …

We first met David Donohue at Barber Motorsport Park in Birmingham, Alabama for a Porsche press event called the "PDK Push". This fun filled, two day trip paired members of the press with driving greats such as Patrick Long, Hurley Haywood and last year's Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona winner David Donohue (just to name a few).

As title defender and the most successful manufacturer in the history of the Daytona 24 hour race, Porsche returns to the long distance classic in Florida on the last weekend in January with yet another strong line-up.

We've been watching The Price is Right for at least 25 + years and in all that time neither one of us can remember a Porsche as a prize - although it is possible we missed an episode or two. Earlier this week a contestant had the opportunity to win a 2010 Porsche Boxster (along with some cash and a trip) in the Showcase Showdown. His bid of …

As I was editing today's post about this year's 944Fest and preparing to publish it, I suddenly remembered that it was the two year anniversary of PorschePurist and I was struck by how far the site has come since my first couple of posts (first post, second post). As of today, just shy of 1,000,000 unique visitors have found their way to …

You're probably familiar with the idea of Porsches being auctioned for charity, but how about luxury watches owned by members of the Porsche family themselves?
