I am a Porsche Enthusiast. I have owned four different 911 models over the last 30 years. I am offering up for sale my 1997 993 Cabriolet Porsche. I purchased this vehicle in August 2011. Since I have purchased it, I have only logged 1000 miles in the last 22 months. Since I drive the vehicle very little, I have decided to sell it. To find this vehicle, I had searched for 6 months prior to buying this 993. I was very selective during my search as I wanted a low mileage, well maintained 993. I found this 993 pretty close to home in Michigan. The 993 presented here is a Michigan car with two previous owners. The first owner had owned the vehicle for a short time, less than a year. The second owner had owned the vehicle form 1998 to 2011. The second owner took very good care of the car. I purchased the car from the second owner.  I was able to document the mileage and had a pre- purchase inspection performed prior to buying the vehicle. The pre purchase inspection included a leak down test and no issues were found.  In September 2011, I took the car to an authorized Porsche Dealer in Birmingham, Michigan to have a complete 30,000 mile service check performed. At the time, I instructed the mechanic to evaluate the car and "spare no expense" to service the vehicle so I would have peace of mind. The mechanic ( whom I feel is the best air cooled guy in the area) drove the vehicle and said other than the 30,000 mile service, no other issues or maintence items were needed, that was 1000 miles ago. I have the invoice from the service and I will include this documentation with the car. This car has always been stored in a garage, it has never been driven in winter, let alone rain. The overall condition is excellent. The car has a clean undercarriage. The engine bay is very clean. The engine does not drip oil. All engine shrouds are in place. Nothing has been modified. The interior is in excellent condition. There are no rips or tears in any of the material. There is no wear on any of the leather surfaces. I have included a photo of the driver seat which shows the condition and lack of typical wear on the bolster points. The body is in very good condition. The paint is original and has a high gloss. I have included a photo of the front fender which shows the high gloss. The vehicle has been hand polished and hand waxed, always. There is no discoloration of the paint in any of the door frames or in the hood and engine compartment areas. There is one area behind the right rear wheel which has a light scratch. I have included a photo of the scratch, hopefully you will be able to see the area as it is a very light scratch. The cabriolet top is original to the car and is in very good condition. The top has been treated with Renovo Ultra Proofer every two years to insure the top remains waterproof. Water droplets still bead on the top. The cabriolet top is in excellent condition. There is one wheel that has two small chips in the finish. I have included a photo of this particuar wheel, all the other three wheel are in excellent condition, which I show one other wheel in a photo. The tires are in average condition of wear. The wheel openings are very clean and the brake calipers are clean and have the original gloss black finish. Everything on the vehicle works. There is nothing that needs to be repaired. Even the light in the engine bay works! The vehicle comes with the Cabriolet tonneau cover, wind screen, both keys, owners manual, original sales brochure from 1997, tool kit, tire inflator kit  and all the paperwork and invoices that are in my possesion. My  vehicle was listed in Excellence Porsche Magazine, in the Feb 2012 and again in the May 2013 ownership experience section of the magazine. This section of the magazine is about owning a Porsche and I wanted to share and document my ownership experience with other Porsche Enthusiasts.  A new battery was installed in August 2011. There is no smoke from the engine when cold or warm. The windshield has no cracks or chips. The back plastic window on the Cabriolet top is clear and scratch free.  Basically this vehicle needs nothing to enjoy but to be driven and maintained. The options on the vehicle are: 445 painted wheel crests, 454 cruise control, 490 hi fi sound, 551 wind deflector, 692 remote 6 disc cd. 233 I don't know what this option is, 329 CR 210 Radio, 398 five spoke 17 inch wheels, 437 full power driver seat. The car also has the Porsche Drive Block option, which is a theft deterent sysyem. I will make the vehicle available for inspection if you would like to look at it or have a professional perform an inspection for you. I will assist with any transportation arrangements including overseas shipment but at your expense. I reserve the right to end this listing early. I am selling this car as is. I will not make refunds or price adjustments after the sale. My cell number is 248- five six one- 5121, if you have questions about the vehicle. I will not disclose the reserve price, but I feel it is very realistic and in line with the current market conditions. I will require a $1000 deposit by paypal within 48 hours of the end of the auction( non refundable) I require the balance of payment to be made by wire transfer within 7 days after the auction and before the vehicle can be picked up. I have a clear title in hand with no security interest on the title.  Good Luck

Evo makes the case for the world's best driving road in Majorca

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

What good is a sports car if you haven't got a great place to drive it? It's a common refrain that we've heard time and time again. But few are as familiar with the problem as they are in the UK, where the number of people, cars on the road and traffic cameras keep growing to conspire against the joy of driving. Leave it to Evo, then, to depart in search of the greatest driving road in the world.
It's a pursuit that's taken the British car mag across Europe, most recently to Romania's Carpathian Mountains where it added the Transalpina Pass to its short list. But its latest journey has taken Evo to the Spanish island of Majorca, where Henry Catchpole found not one, but two spectacular driving roads from behind the wheel of the new Porsche Boxster GTS. We could drone on about the smooth, empty ribbons of twisting tarmac with excellent visibility and panoramic vistas... but you really want to see the video for yourself. Don't miss Evo's previous trip to Romania in the Jaguar F-Type, which we've included below, as well.

These three automotive Lego kits deserve your suppoort

Sat, Mar 25 2017

Lego has been quite good to car enthusiasts over the past few years. We've seen traditional kits for the classic VW Microbus, Mini Cooper, and the Caterham 620R, as well as an elaborate Technic kit for the 911 GT3 RS. But why stop there? The Lego Ideas page, which allows users to submit ideas with the chance to see their kits reach production, has many more cool car kits we'd love to see. Check them out below, and be sure to log on to vote for them. If a submission hits 10,000 votes, it is considered for production. That's how we got that Caterham kit, so it's worth your time to show your support. Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 This is a submission aimed at becoming one of Lego's Speed Champions kits. These are very small mini-figure scale car models, and the series has included the Ford GT, Audi R18 Le Mans racer, and more. This kit features a tiny version of the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, a Group B rally racer that gave Peugeot World Rally Championship titles two years in a row. The kit has a well-executed version of the car and its massive rear spoiler on the hatch. It also comes with a big dirt crest for it to fly over, along with amazed spectators on the sidelines. Porsche 911 Turbo 930 We love the GT3 RS Lego kit, but we think it's a little lonely as the only Porsche kit available. Such an impressive Porsche deserves an impressive companion, like this 911 Turbo. It's the 930 version, which is arguably the most famous classic 911 with its turbocharged power, whale-tail wing, and scary driving dynamics thanks to considerable turbo lag and rear-engine handling characteristics. This model is quite large at 1:10 scale, and comes with a detailed interior and exterior. The best part is the remote-control components underneath that allow the car to be driven. Jeep Wrangler JK Moving off the beaten path again, we have this highly detailed Wrangler kit. Actually, we have two kits, as the creator designed both two-door and four-door versions. They both feature removable hard tops, detailed interiors, and big tires. They also come with an assortment of off-road accessories such as auxiliary lights, an off-road jack, winch, gas can, roof rack, and off-road bumper. You can also find various fluid reservoirs and engine details under the opening hood.

Porsche has doubled US sales to women [w/videos]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Porsche is having a good sales year in the US, with 25,129 vehicles delivered year-to-date coming off the automaker's best July sales ever. That's a 31-percent increase over the same period last year (19,253 deliveries). With year-to-date Panamera sales a surprising 36 percent lower than last year, what possibly could be driving Porsche's sales surge? If you answered Cayman and Boxster sales, you're right. But dealerships are noticing another factor: more women are coming in to buy Porsches, CNBC reports, the bulk of whom picked up new Cayenne SUVs. The German automaker's sales to women in the US have more than doubled in the past two years, increasing from 7 percent to 15 percent. This has helped year-to-date Cayenne sales reach 11,082 - 31 percent higher than the same time last year.
Porsche executives have been trying to tap into the women's market, as evidenced in part by the company's move to pick professional tennis player Maria Sharapova as a brand ambassador. Porsche maintains it has not moved to dramatically change its brand image, but it has shown a number of ads in recent years that uncharacteristically emphasize its vehicles' practicality under the "Engineered for Magic. Everyday" banner - some featuring female drivers.
Be sure to watch CNBC's video report on Porsche's female movement below - you'll also find one of the aforementioned Engineered For Magic ads as well as an interesting case study video on the campaign from ad agency Cramer-Krasselt.
