Wow, being retired sure makes you busy. I started working on this newsletter in July and look, it’s December and it isn’t out yet! Well, time to button up those last articles and get it done before 2024 is here. It’s been an exciting year. The big news for me […]

Okay, I finally get it, an automatic transmission vehicle can be fun. Let me explain how I finally got to that conclusion. First, a little background. I’ve been a tried and true manual transmission fan since I started driving back in 1978. Once I laid hands on the Hurst 4 […]
This has been a busy 968 summer but not for the usual “show season” reasons but because Greg and I acquired another one. An amazing Wimbledon green cabriolet with 18,900 original miles. The story behind this 1 of 12 example is amazing and I’ll have it for you with the […]
With the arrival of the Matador on 12/31/2016 I have been fully engaged in getting this rare machine going again and making much progress. I swear, the car is working with me. I took it for its first drive a few weeks back. It runs great and the clutch must […]

Well, my 968s are still tucked away but the groundhog says spring will come soon so they’ll be out in just a few short weeks. Much is happening 968-wise. Last year was quite a year for the register. Thanks to the launch of the new website we picked up 66 […]
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!!! We’ve been experiencing an influx of new registry members in the most recent weeks, in part due to an article in a recent issue of the Porsche E-brake online newsletter. I would like to take a minute to welcome all of those new members to the registry […]
So, how was your summer? I hope you got out and enjoyed that 968 of yours. I certainly had my fill of shows this past season. Although we stared out with a disappointing Zone 1 concours the 2015 Parade was an amazing event. On top of that, we had a […]
Okay, no more excuses. This year’s Zone 1 concours is located in the Northern NJ town of Woodcliff and promises to have all kinds of 968s in attendance. You see, some of the best 968s in the country are located in the great state of New Jersey and I’m hoping […]
There is nothing like a Porsche Parade. I’ve attended three of them in the past and they are quite spectacular. Start with an amazing location, add in thousands of Porsches, and even more fans and the result is an event to remember. This year’s Parade promises to be right up […]
