Who Puts VW Hubcaps On A Porsche 959 Replica?
Porsche 959/939 Replica
Originally listed for sale on Craigslist (where else?) is this 1986 Porsche 959 Roadster Convertible Replica. Looking past the fact that Porsche never made a 959 Convertible to replicate, why build this (it sure as hell isn't done like this  959 speedster)? The seller doesn't provide any real information other than the fact that it has a new clutch, new tires and the engine "was just completely rebuilt to a 1860cc". Click here, or the image, above for more info.

Armed Kidnappers Use A Panamera In Failed Abduction Attempt
Armed Kidnappers Kiev Porsche Panamera
The incident captured in this video took place somewhere in Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine.  We're not really sure what happened as there isn't a ton of information.  However, about 1:40 seconds into the video all hell breaks lose and I'm glad I wasn't one of the people in the small little silver car.  If this is how they resolve parking problems in the Ukraine, I'm not sure I want to visit.

We never like to see anyone crash and it's even worse when it's someone you know personally.  Besides being a 4 time IndyCar Series Champion and a 3 time Indianapolis 500 winner, Dario is a huge Porsche fan, owns a number of spectacular examples and is a fellow FLATSIXES.com follower.  No matter how many times I watch this crash, I still get a little queasy as it happens.  Get well soon, Dario!

Magnus Walker on Xcar
We're so used to seeing Magnus in his signature modified 911s it's almost a shock to see him with something bone stock.  However, the truth is, Magnus appreciates originality as much as individuality.  In this newest video from XCARFilms, Magnus philosophizes about the "freedom" derived from driving his '66 Irish Green 911 and what we can expect next from the newest celebrity in the world of Porsche.

Video: Take A Hot Lap Of COTA In A Porsche GT3 Cup With Sloan Urry
Sloan Urry Hot Lap COTA
There's something about Porsches racing in the rain that just causes a visceral reaction in me. While not quite as impressive as Lee Keen's "Rain Dance at the 24 Hours Nürburgring"  it's still some mighty fine driving by young Slaon Urry. Watch how fast Sloan's hands are as he hits that sequential shifter. It's like he's mad at it. Enjoy!
