Thank You! Nice video!

I have a healthy respect for all of what Porsche has accomplished for decades; but the beauty factor of older 911's leaves me cold.
Once that the flatnose 930/935 look came out for the racecars; I always felt that, that frontend should have been a factory option for the street cars within a year's time!

Most Porsche owner's are not light of the wallet! The peer pressure between friends would have earned the firm extra money, and the WOW factor would have been immensely increased!

I really like the 928's look with the exception of the popup's!

I had the pleasure of watching a 904/6, one of 4 left (of the 6 variety) compete at the Portland Historic Races this year! What a beauty!


My final rant here is that there are a few yrs. where OEM 911/912's have an Amber light in the rear quarter panels that is easily viewed from the back. ( turn signal, and constant w taillights) The Amber shows up well in fog.
My beef is that I can't legally custom any other car to have that quality; only well walleted Porsche owners CAN!!!

A light hearted humor in this PS: I'm glad that they still have RIDING MECHANICS in the racing.

I just think the one hanging out the back of that 356 or Carrera should at least be wearing a helmet. He's certainly ready to listen, and respond to unusual eng. pitch changes, but where does he hide the tools???

I never knew about the retracting headlights (1:48), it's all in the details.

Thanks for sharing !

My best Porsche video does not work on my computer for some reason so I try to get it online on some other computer... This is also very slow to download these. One video takes 4 hours to complete and if there is a error on the way you have to restart the process.
