After just three short months – well, two and a half, actually – my Porsche 928S has been sold and picked up by its new owner. The Sprint and the Brumby both go tomorrow. As I said earlier in the week, change is afoot. More to come later. To the 928, though….. I never wrote much about the 928 here. […]
Here are a couple of questions for you….. What’s the highest mileage car you’ve ever bought? And would you take a high-mile classic car over a garage queen? At what price? I check a lot of different vehicles online and I was struck by this one earlier today. It’s a Porsche 928 GT from 1990. Is the 928 a classic?
I’m not someone recently given to re-hashing marketing press releases, but this one from Porsche Australia caught my eye when it landed in my inbox today. —— South Australian buys first Porsche … at 85 years of age Adelaide’s Olaf Varley decided early this year to realise his dream and purchase his first Porsche: a brand new Cayman in racing
This is definitely one to watch! How stratospheric can a single car’s price go? Not only is this a genuine Porsche 917, it’s a Porsche 917 with actual race history. And not only is it a genuine Porsche 917 with race history, it was also used in a famous film about racing – Le Mans. And not only is it
As I sit here writing this, we’re around three hours from the end of Le Mans. Porsche is leading with the #2 Audi catching them at a pace fast enough to take the lead. Can Porsche hold on and claim a Le Mans victory in it’s first tilt in 14 years? It’ll be an outstanding achievement if they can. But
So the results from the Saab vs Spyker poll from last week – i.e…… Which car do you think we’ll see available for sale first? The Spyker B6 Venator, or An electric Saab? …. were almost split down the middle. Spyker held a handy lead right from the get-go but the Saab pollsters chimed in later and the result evened

This is a long one – just over one hour – so set aside some sofa time with your favourite beverage and a few biscuits. Living The Porsche is essentially a long-form advertisement for Autohaus Hamilton, a Porsche specialist workshop in Sydney, Australia. But describing it that way and failing to give you more would be a huge injustice to

[hr] I have a confession to make. I’ve always – always – been a fan of the old Porsche 911 Targa. You know the one, the ‘lunch pail’ model that most 911 purists talk about with a tone of voice that could rarely be described as ‘fond’. Photo above from Boldride, which has a nice article on the history of
If you’ve been on a tour of a modern car factory, this old video about Porsche is going to make you giggle. If you’ve got even a basic awareness of modern health and safety protocols, it’ll blow your mind. Either way, it’s super-interesting and a great look into quality car building in yesterday’s world.

UPDATE – Re-posted with larger gallery! —— Sunday November 17 saw the Porsche Club of Tasmania host a hill climb at Baskerville Raceway here in Hobart.
