I had a comment come in via email from my mate ‘Eggs’ overnight. I’ve got his OK to reproduce it here in order to kickstart this post: I have been impressed by the number of people (including you) who have recently raved about the quality and seeming durability of Porsche cars. I kind of always assumed that the magic was […]
I’m very pleased to (finally) share some photos of my new pride and joy – my 1995 Porsche 968 CS. I picked this car up last Tuesday in Melbourne at the end of our road trip up the east coast of Australia. The purchase story’s a bit complicated. I went to the mainland with the idea of returning with a
Advance notice – I should advise that I bought a Porsche a few days ago. I’m extremely happy and somewhat frustrated. Happy, because the car is absolutely epic. Frustrated because right now I can’t get it down my driveway. I’ll explain in another post. I point this out because some people know about my purchase and they’ll see this first
The Frankfurt Motor Show is on again. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes because the Frankfurt Motor Show is like a small city unto itself.

I had a Porsche 944 S2 inspected a few weeks ago and I’m still thinking about whether or not to pursue the car.

It’s been quiet around here because there are a few things on my mind. First, we have a federal election going on here in Australia. The poll itself will be held on September 7. I don’t want to be consumed by it, but I am. I’m doing my best to keep the election off this website, however. You’re welcome. Second,
I was fascinated by a recent article I read on Classic Car Investment. Is it really possible to make a little bit of money on an expensive hobby like motoring? It isn’t easy. Some would go so far to say it isn’t likely. But it IS possible. If you actually select a somewhat exotic/unusual vehicle and then drive it, that
I just came across this in an article in one of our Aussie newspapers this evening: Looking to splurge on an emotional investment that will quadruple your money in 10 years?
