It all started a couple years back. On one of my many fantasy trips through Ebay I came across the entire 1969 Porsche Panorama Series. I watched the auction closely with anticipation, expecting to have other guys waiting till the last second to enter some outrageous price and win the auction! To my surprise, I [...] [...more]
Came across this on The Samba today. In my opinion, if everything checked out on this car it would be a great buy in today’s market. I think 914’s are a solid investment and SO fun to drive. [...more]
If you have read some of my early entries you’d know that I’ve made it a point in the 90’s to never use a mechanic again. Unfortunately with life, business and my lack of knowledge on certain issues I’ve had to turn to a few since. As the story goes; Upon purchasing my 69, 912, driving [...] [...more]
When I purchased my 1969 912 in January of 08 I was completely new to the 4 cylinder Porsche engines. I had owned plenty of 911’s and a 930 Turbo but had never had the opportunity to own one of the best cars ever produced by Porsche. I had received at least 50 photo’s of [...] [...more]
Just before Christmas I sold my 68 Porsche that I was keeping in Florida. Rather than finding a new toy in the South I decided it would be a good idea to get my 69 Porsche back down for the remainder of the cool season. The problem is, How do you get an early Porsche [...] [...more]

Whenever anyone asks me the question “What’s the best car you’ve ever owned” I never give a reply without including the Audi Coupe Quattro. I bought my 1990 Coupe Quattro with around 135,000 miles on it. It was a 2 owner car (me being the 3rd) which the 2nd owner bought in 1993 and owned for [...] [...more]
There’s an unexplainable bond between car guys. Most women don’t get it. You can meet a complete stranger and in minutes feel like you’ve found a long lost relative, just because of a car. During our Wheels and Wine event just this happened. Sean Bielman saw a bunch of vintage German and Italian cars parked at [...] [...more]
We’ve all probably looked at or read about a car for sale that came with a “Box of Parts”… Well, When I bought my 1968 Porsche 912 the seller said he’d like me to meet him at his warehouse because this is where he “had some extra parts”. What I didn’t realize is that he [...] [...more]
