Video: Mountain Passes - Porsches Were Built For Them
creating Porsche exhaust notes
If you've ever dreamed of a trip through the mountains of Switzerland, Austria and Italy, then you're going to want to watch this video and perhaps read the book it's promoting, Porsche Drive.  Interestingly, the book itself isn't necessarily Porsche specific. Instead, photographer Stefan Bogner uses Porsches to explore the 15 passes he travels to complete what he considers to be the perfect 4-day journey through the Alps. Filled with loads of beautiful photography and rich history of the Alpine passes, Porsche Drive (and the video in this post) will have you itching for a road trip of your own.

Our Favorite Porsches on eBay: Volume 61
favorite porsches ebay
We've been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for almost two years now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. In all that time, we've published these every other week. Well, enough of you have spoken up that we're going to try a weekly format, with two of us picking selections, so check back often. This week, we've assembled five more Porsches for you to peruse, including a beautiful Guards Red 964, two very unique Cayennes, a Porsche based dune buggy and a chopped 356 that has R Gruppe potential. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

Over the weekend Porsche announced an upgrade from Manthey Racing for the Cayman GT4 Clubsport. Available as either a complete car or an upgrade kit for 2016 Clubsports, the MR kit qualifies as an SRO-homologized GT4 racing car.  Built to ensure the Clubsport can meet some impending rule changes in 2017 the new version is lighter and has better performance via suspension and aero changes.  Full details/specs on this newest version of the Clubsport, and what it might mean for existing Clubsport owners, are available in this post.

Would You Bet A 991 GT3 Against a Rolls Royce?
avoiding an accident
No, it's not a drag race. Instead, if the story is to be believed, there's a season wide rivalry brewing between New York Jets Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall and Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers that will pay out either a GT3 or Rolls Royce depending on who wins. Is it for real? You decide. Details and the video of Marshall calling out Antonio Brown are in this post.

How to Make a '67 911 S Even More Special
Magnus Walker 67 911 s video
What I like about this video, more so than some of Magnus' recent videos, is that it's more than just a driving video. Instead of just a bunch of chopped up driving scenes, Magnus narrates the entire video as he explains what drew him to the '67 911 S models in the first place and then dives deep into the details of what makes this particular car the Southern California canyon carver it is. Enjoy!

Porsche Stories From Around The Web
Despite our best efforts, it's not always possible for us to cover everything that's happening in the world of Porsche at any given time. It's almost as if the items worthy of note increase at some exponential rate as compared to the number of new Porsche owners and fans.  With that in mind, from time to time, we'll bring you a round-up of other Porsche related stories you might find of interest and link you to them.  If you read a story somewhere, or know of one you think might be of interest to our readers, please be sure to let us know by sending us a tip to storyideas@flatsixes.com.
