10 Things We Learned At The 24 Hours Of Le Mans
|
Thanks to Michelin, we were able to scratch "see the 24 Hours of Le Mans in person" off our bucket list. However, having done so, we've had to add, "see the 24 Hours of Le Mans in person, AGAIN"

Porsche 928 Formerly Owned By Paul Stanley And Featured In KISS Video Up For Sale
|
Aging KISS fans, head-banging hair and a power love ballad; this sales video has it all (other than mileage and a few key details that is). Perhaps more suprising than the video is the fact that it's not the first KISS owned Porsche for sale we've featured. However, it is definitely the nicer of the two. Based on evidence in the video, its KISS provenance seem indisputable; does it make it worth the asking price? Watch the video and you decide.
| Porsche Pays Audi Respect And Vows Not To Give Up

As expected, Porsche isn't going to take their Le Mans foibles lying down. They are coming up swinging from their French TKO last weekend in this newest video "Le Mans 2014: Day 1 on the way to Le
Mans 2015". More
importantly than Porsche's pledge to return is the sportsmaship they show in congratulating Audi on their win.

Tuning Is The Dark Art Of Air-Cooled Porsches

We don't know much about Benton Performance, but if the video in this post is any indicator of the quality of Porsche restoration and
service they perform, then I expect we'll be hearing much more from them in the near future. While we don't normally like to publish what is basically a "promotional video" this one is so well done, and filled with excellent Porsches, it seems worth the exception. Enjoy!
