Will a 6’4″ Fatty fit in a Boxster?

The answer is “yes” with a little bit of *snug*

Welcome to my new (to me) Porsche Boxster 2003 (but its the 2002 model). It’s the base model in Silver with black interior and it all works and is in incredibly good condition for a car that is nearly twenty years old.

Pedro Mota is taking motovlogs to a whole new level

911 Owner Stories: Dan and his 993 Carrera 4S

I just randomly stumbled across this little video from Porsche. It’s an owner story of a chaps passion for this Porsche 911 – my fave model the 993. He loves it!

His description of the driving process and visceral feel of driving one of these machines is spot on!
