Love the facelift!

Spotted at the fourth edition of Patrick Long and Howie Idelson’s Luftgekühlt held at Municipal Warehouse in San Pedro, California. More here 
Love the facelift - 2 piece aero front splitter and front foglight delete replaced with brake duct air scoops. Obviously the absent front number plate in the US helps with the look of their cars (shame about 'bumperettes' though!) but these subtle mods give a nice menacing look to a narrow-bodied 993. 
Very cool - enquiring about those parts today as I might consider a facelift myself this summer! :-)

Duck & Whale

Duck & Whale is an awesome Porsche culture magazine from down under. Can't wait to get stuck into issue 2 for obvious reasons...there goes my evening.


Back at the Circuit de la Sarthe

We're back at the Circuit de la Sarthe for the 84th 24 Hours of Le Mans. Newbie Jamie sported his new 997 CSR, which sat pretty alongside my 993. I didn't take any photos of the race this year but it's one that I'll remember - with the number 2 Porsche (Dumas, Jani and Lieb) taking Porsche’s 18th outright Le Mans win in the most unexpected win of them all. I really do feel for Toyota. As always great to hang out with the guys, see some metal (a few of my favorites below), and experience the back-to-back win for Porsche! Well done boys - here's to making it 3 in a row next year...

Cold Turkey at Ace Cafe...

Porsche Club GB London Region (R20) get together at the legendary Ace Cafe every last Monday of the month, and Dec is no exception. So I decided to attend the last meet of the year, known as 'cold turkey', to say hi to the organizers Ed & Nick Pike and see some good old German metal. 

Ace Cafe soon filled up with an impressive range of Porsches for this warm winter gathering, including the recently launched 991 Gen 2 Carrera, which attracted plenty of interest as it made it's first UK appearance at a Club event - thanks to Porsche Centre Reading. 

Here’s to all things Porsche in 2016!
