Someone Bought and Installed the World's Largest Outdoor TV from C' SEED and Porsche Design 
Porsche C'Seed TV being installed
When we were first introduced to the C' SEED 201 Television by Porsche Design we were blown away.  Then when we learned of a price tag reported to be similar to that of the 918 Spyder we thought, no-one will buy this, it's too expensive.  Apparently, we were wrong!  This past weekend we received a message from a company in Florida who claim to have sold and installed the world's largest LCD television at a private home in Ibiza, Spain.

Is This the Funniest Promotional Video Porsche Has Produced?
Patrick Long and Patrick Dempsey
Porsche's marketing team puts out a LOT of material. Some good, some not so good and some great.  The video in this post definitely receives a "great" ranking and is one of the funniest we've seen in a while.  It's well known that Porsche is officially returning to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2014.  This video apes the training their drivers go through and just how much they have to share in order to be prepared for the grueling competition.  Featuring Patrick Long and Patrick Dempsey, with a cameo from Joe Foster, this is one promotional video that's definitely worth a watch.  Click the image above or here to laugh along with us.

Monterey Porsche Auction Round-up
Porsche 935 on stage at RM Auctions
We were fortunate enough to spend 3 days in Monterey last weekend and a good portion of that time was spent watching crazy amounts of money get spent on incredible and rare Porsches.  While we couldn't see everything, we did our best to see as much as we could so we could report it here for you.

911 Carrera 4S Named 2013 Motor Trend "Best Driver's Car"
2013 yellow Porsche 911 Carrera 4S on track
For all of the decrying that was done when the 991 was announced ("It's got electric steering, the 911 is dead!"), it has certainly been heaped with praise by the media and the buying public alike.  Last year, the 991 Carrera S won the coveted "Best Driver's Car" title from Motor Trend , and this year, the C4S picked up the same trophy against some stiff competition.

We're Giving Away a Copy of "Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic"
Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic Give-away
A couple of weeks ago we reviewed one of the newest offering from Bentley Publishers, "Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic".  At first glance, it may not seem like a book for the Porsche enthusiast, but don't let the cover photo fool you, it's worth your time to read.  Bentley was kind enough to supply us with a 2nd copy (it's still shrink-wrapped) so we thought we would give it away to one of our email subscribers (we're not posting this on our site).  If you would like this copy, all you have to do is read our review of the book, and let us know in the comments of that post what your favorite Porsche related book is.  That's it! We're hoping that one of you will recommend a book we don't know about yet and give us something new to read.  We'll randomly select a winner and notify them via next week's newsletter and email.
