A Letter Home From Porsche's Camp4 Canada
Porsche Camp4 Canada
Mother and Father,

Camp is going really well. All of the other campers are really cool, and the counselors are very nice. I'm learning a lot at camp, including throttle control, ice driving maneuvers, and methods of using your brakes to initiate oversteer. Porsche's Camp4 at Mécaglisse is a whole lot of fun, and as much as I miss home, I sort of wish I could stay here forever. Tell my friend Project Boxster Clubsport that I miss her, but I'm learning all sorts of new games we can play together.

Read on to see what else we learned during our recent visit to Porsche's Camp4 in Canada.

2015 Paris Porsche Auction Results
Another Paris Retromobile show has come to a close and with it are the results from the three (3) major auctions that took place this year: RM, Artcurial, and Bonhams.  While there was plenty of action, there were a surprisingly large number of "no sales".  Was this the result of the wrong audience, a problem with the Porsche on offer or could the "bubble" be deflating?  We break down all the results for you in this post.

Rumors of an all-electric Porsche have been around for some time now. However, until now we haven't seen anything with substantive details. That changed earlier today when CAR Magazine posted a story claiming information from an unnamed source inside of Porsche.  Details are in this post.

2000 Mile Pilgrimage To Buy Cheap Porsche Becomes Epic Documentary 
2000 mile pigrimage documentary video
Very few of us would fly 2000+ miles to purchase a "too good to be true" Porsche. Let alone take that flight with the intent of driving it home on a trip that includes multiple border crossings, ferry rides and a run around the Nürburgring.  However, that's exactly what Chris Rusby does when he sets off from his home in England to pick-up a Porsche in Greece.  Fortunately for us, Chris works in the world of videography and he filmws the entire trip. This epic documentary is the result.

For all of the eccentric and eclectic Porsche collectors and enthusiasts out there, we've decided that it is about time someone aggregated the best of the best that eBay has to offer in the Porsches-for-sale department.

The list includes a nice driver 993 Carrera 2S, a Turbo Slant Cab, a minty fresh 914-6, an oddball rally car, a nice looking RSR clone, and proof that good photos help in an eBay ad.

Everything You Need To Know About Putting Your Porsche On A Dyno 
Larry K's Porsche 911 Dyno run
Most of you know Larry Kosilla from his /DRIVE CLEAN youtube series where he teaches us how to properly detail our Porsches through a series of informative and entertaining videos. However, did you know that Larry is also a Porsche owner?  In fact, he's built himself a nice little street/track 911 and he's been modifying it from day one.  In this video Larry takes us along during a Dyno run to see just what his Porsche is making for horsepower after his latest updates.  More importantly, in typical Larry fashion, he teaches us all we could want to know about how to prepare our Porsches for a spin on the Dyno through to what to do with the information the Dyno produces.  Watch it all in this post.
