  1. Beautiful machine. Only 250 will be made. Love the cocoa leather interior. http://www.leftlanenews.com/porsche-unv ... assic.html
  2. Agreed. If V-dub can leave Porsche alone and let them get back to building dedicated sports cars...... that would be a great outcome. I'd like to see a diesel GT-3 Call it the GT-3 RS-d
  3. Great looking Rex! I love that color combo. I had one for four years and loved it. Make sure you redline it every day!
  4. The recent events at Porsche are shocking to say the least. Now this: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Ne ... eId=156306
  5. There's a lot of chatter on the net and periodicals that the new Z doesn't make good engine or zorst noises at all. I find this frustrating. Great engine noise is one of the main reasons I like sports cars.
  6. I love the color of the test vehicle. Looks great with the black roof. Should be a winner. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Dr ... el..1.*#19
  7. I would think a 911 turbo could put you in the poor house. Ask yourself this. After making your monthly payment, paying for registration and insurance could you afford to pay for a repair should the turbo decide to commit suicide? I've know good friends who wanted and bought nice used high end cars and they paid dearly for it when they broke down. My cousin has a 911 and some of his repair bills nearly gave me a stroke. I almost hesitate to say this but if you're questioning whether or not this car could hurt financially then I'd say you probably shouldn't buy one.
  8. Always loved this car. This particular one has a nice history. Be sure to scroll down and click on any thumbnail picture. http://www.ferraris-online.com/pages/ca ... -PANT-3472
  9. Not sure what to think....... http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Fe ... panel..2.*
  10. That thing is huge It's big enough to take out Martin's tug! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... l?ITO=1490
  11. He'd had it in the water the day before. He raised his two boys water skiing behind that boat on our local river. The biggest danger with those wooden boats is fire. You have to open the engine bay when starting it and let the fumes out so nothing is tempted to combust. Fuel leaks are a huge concern as well. He has two monster fire extinguishers. One in the boat and one on the pier.
  12. Nothin' wrong with that bud! Lovely pictures and a gorgeous Zed you have. Well done!
  13. I visited a longtime family friend last night and snapped a few shots of his speedboat. He purchased it in 1965 and has had it ever since. And last but not least....the business end. It has the original straight six and it sounds heavenly.
  14. They're mainly the butt of many jokes here in the states. Mainly driven by guys trying hopelessly to look cool.
  15. Stanski should be BANNED! Possibly my all time favorite car. Stunning!
  16. I owned an 8 before my Z. I just had this same conversation with my wife (she's a gear head as well). Our stupid government is trying to pass a new bill that will significantly raise taxes on all sorts of energy including petrol. If that happens, Mazda may as well give up selling the rotary in the states. Btw.......my buddy told me he's only getting 12 mpg right now and that's with no boost.
  17. Not sure of the total psi output but I do know it's a Greddy. I believe he's looking for at least 20 psi.
  18. Agreed. A very rich, deep sound.

  20. This is a very tasteful edition for 80 lucky Europeans. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Ne ... d=149506#3
  21. I need to take some pictures of his dad's newest toy. When we got to his house Friday night he took me into the garage and pulled the cover back on a mint 1997 Lotus Esprit twin turbo V-8. It was wedged in a corner so I couldn't get a super close look but he promised to bring it by this summer.
  22. My buddy stopped by with his RX-7 and took me for a ride Friday evening. It ended abruptly when while sitting on a hill, in line, waiting for a stop sign, his car decided to eat a 30 amp fuse that supplies his fuel pump (he has two pumps for a combined pressure of 40 psi). The car just died and that was it. We had to get out and push it up the rest of the hill, thru the intersection and then into the nearest drive-way. Man I'm glad RX-7's are light! I ended up calling the wife (thankfully she was still at work and only 2 miles away) so she came and rescued us. We went back to my house, picked up some tools and then to the auto parts store. We were able to get the 7 running again so I followed him to his parents home so he could finish the repair. It has only 180 miles on a fresh rebuild so he's babying it for 1500 miles. Mike (my buddy) told me that even babying it (no boost) he's only getting 12 mpg!!!!!!! New wheels are the next upgrade.
  23. Pretty nice shape. Dang those things were tiny http://victory-motorcars.ebizautos.com/ ... 67578.html
