1977: A lap with Jurgen Barth at Le Mans
Watch Jurgen mix it up with his 934 & 935 predecessors in the open cockpit 936/77. Along with Ickx & Haywood, the #4 car limped home to victory on 5 cylinders - with an 11 lap lead over the Mirage Renault.

Porsche's last attempt on an overall Le Mans victory was aborted before it ever got to race in 2000.
Although the 911s will be aplenty, and _maybe_ even a remote chance of the 918RSR running, all this talk of Porsche in the top spot are a bit premature, as neither car is a prototype killer.

Tribute To Alice
On January 7th of 2011 our beloved cat Alice passed due to health reasons. She was quite a character, always letting you know when the food bowl was not completely full, or when it was time to go out on the patio.
She lived for 17 years and we're grateful for each day that she was here and especially that she was with us for 2010 Christmas.
She will always be loved and remembered, but can never be replaced.

CPA/PCA - Hershey Swap Meet
The 2010 Porsche only swap meet held in Hershey, PA (yes, that Hershey) was again a great show. A bazillion P-cars were on display, as well as a large swap meet section of independent and commercial vendors such as FabSpeed, Transloggt, Rennline and Tangerine Racing with his neat T4 horizontal cooling system.
NA twin plug bad ass..
A 3.6 turbo - the sign says 'Rare & Awesome'...
Rennline 964
A few rarities such as this 959. One of 200 ever built. (note the matching bucket)
The factory detail on the exhaust system cannot be captured in a photo... also check out that side view mirror.
964 powered Beck 904. Can you say power to weight ratio?
Lots of 914 goodness...

Mock Fitting - Crank/Rods
All cross drilled oil passages must be free of all debris - even during the mock up stage. You don't want to scratch or embed anything in the bearing shells.
All bearings are Kolbenschmidt purchased from Pelican...
They only go in one way...
Don't be alarmed if the rod bearing sits a bit proud, they are a crush fit...
Lubro Moly for the rod bolts & nuts.
Apply to the male threads.
Assembled & torqued to spec...
