The Drunk Monks of Sebring
Every sport has fans and most sports have Super Fans.  The American Le Mans Series is no exception.  Last year we brought you the "udder truth" about the Sebring Cows.  This year contributor Andrew Granieri convinced the Monks to break their vow of silence (they don't really have one) and talk to us about who they are, where they came from, what to do when you meet a Monk and how you can join their monastery if you so choose.

When FLATSIXES.com decided to attend the Los Angeles Porsche Literature, Toy, and Memorabilia Show little did we know we would end up on a whirlwind tour that took us from the airport Hilton through Long Beach, Costa Mesa and Anaheim.  Now back safe at home we've concluded this is a trip every Porsche fan needs to make.
More Pictures From Amelia Island
Going through hundreds, if not 1000s, of pictures is a daunting task.  However, we're making progress.  We don't want to just dump everything into one album/post and have you sort through them. Instead, we're picking the best, captioning them (so you know what you're looking at) and working on a finished album you can enjoy.  We should be done in the next day or so.  In the interim, we've posted another short album on our facebook page for you to look through, now (most of these pics are from contributor Ron Sieber).  This 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 is just one of the few surprises we found in the garage that eventually made its way on to the Concours. See more by clicking the image above or viewing our new album on our Facebook page .  You DON'T need to belong to FB, or sign in, to view it. However, if you are a member of Facebook and you have not yet "liked" our page, please do so while visiting.
