Thank you for your interest. I am the third owner, and have only owned the car for a short while. The car was
purchased at Plaza Motor Company in Creve Coeur MO, and spent most of its life in Indiana. The car was sold by the
original family to a nephew in Florida in 2014. My goal was to bring the car to Concours condition, but I am
starting a business and need the cash for start-up costs. The car is mechanically in good condition, and I
recently spent $6100 on maintenance and upgrades.
I have scans of the invoice for the motor work and of the work performed recently in Houston. Also, I have records
including the original dealer invoice, but I don't have regular oil and brake fluid maintenance records before
2005. My understanding is that the car was maintained by the same mechanic (Farmer) for most of its life until
2014.
The car is stock in terms of suspension and other performance items besides the DME chip. The catalytic converter
was removed, but the original exhaust pipe is still on the car. The car was painted in 2005 and the seats were
recovered in the same year. This year, I replaced the existing performance chip with a Steve Wong chip, who also
upgraded the DME board to 28 pin.
Additionally, the motor was rebuilt in 2005 at 109K miles by Farmer Automotive in IN.Heads polished and ported,
cylinders honed, rings replaced, timing chain and rails replaced, valves ground, and guides replaced. 134a air
condition upgraded. Stereo replaced with Alpine CD player. The car has the following new items: Michelin Pilot
Sport tires, OEM brake pads and rotors in the front, rebuilt calipers front and back, SS brake lines, clutch cable,
shifter bushings, battery, spark plugs, air filter, valve adj, valve cover gaskets, Dot 4 brake fluid, Brad Penn
20/50 oil and filter.
The car runs really well. Pulls hard, and drives straight. I believe in as much disclosure as possible, so here
are the things I can think of that are negative:
1) Flaws in the paint job are difficult to detect unless viewed up close, but paint is not perfect.
2) The hood was replaced by the original owner. There is some small amount of corrosion on the hinges where the
new hood was attached, but the metal is solid. No evidence of accident under the car.
3) There is some corrosion around the battery box and the paper liner under the battery is ripped and brittle.
4) There is some corrosion around the underside of the rocker panels near the screw holes.
5) Occasionally, the first-to-second gear shift is a little notchy, so the synchro probably needs replacing at some
point in the future. The rest of the gears are smooth.
6) The front right corner of the windshield is slightly delaminated and you can see moisture. I have sealed the
gasket from the outside, so it shouldn't expand from there.
7) The roof has an indention about the size of a quarter, and maybe an 1/16 of an inch deep. Hard to detect unless
up close.
8) Rear glass heater does not work.

Porsche 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.

Porsche bringing electric Pajun concept to Frankfurt?

Wed, Jul 22 2015

France's L'Automobile magazine reports that a precursor to the long-rumored and much-discussed Porsche Pajun will come to the Frankfurt Motor Show. The reveal is being characterized as a "'connected' study that could well turn into a series model." Just seeing something at all, however, would be a major step. Pajun palaver has been splattered all over the Internet for more than three years, since back when it was going to come with a V6 to be an ICE challenger to the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes E-Class. The intervening years have turned the rumormill up to Level: Sasquatch, and still we had no idea when we'd ever see a car that, at one time, was headed for showrooms next year. Then we got a bunch of reports at the end of last year about a swoopy electric sedan, accompanied by patent filings for novel electric and hydrogen fuel cell powerplants. This year, Porsche has been making noise in the US and Europe about EV and connected-car initiatives, and reports blossomed with giggly details concerning the Pajun, like a 300-mile range, potentially 600 horsepower, two electric motors, four-wheel steering, and a topological battery layout with "108 separate battery pouches." A more recent report posits a Tesla Model S-fighting 420 horsepower and a 265-mile range. So we hope L'Automobile is correct, because we can't wait to see the proper, sheetmetal inspiration for whatever the Pajun will be. Related Video:

Woman rushing to pub nearly causes head-on collision

Wed, Aug 17 2016

A woman in a rush to pick up her husband from a local pub caused this close call on a street in England this weekend. The near miss happened on Sunday on the B1253 between Rudston and Bridlington, East Yorkshire, England. A Porsche Cayenne driver attempted to overtake a blue Citroen on a blind curve but didn't see the white Skoda in oncoming traffic. Thanks to the Skoda driver's quick maneuvering on to the grassy shoulder the Cayenne only caused minor damage to the other two cars. Damian Hodgson is the owner of the dashboard camera who was behind the blue Citroen. After the close call Hodgson first stopped to check on the Skoda driver. Driver and car were okay, but a 10-year-old girl in the front seat was in tears. Hodgson then made his way down the road where the Porsche driver was speaking to the Citroen driver. He said the Porsche's driver gave some pretty lame reasons for putting so many people's lives in danger. "She said she was picking her husband up from the pub and was wearing a pair of slippers - but it's no excuse to be overtaking on a blind bend," Hodgson told the Mirror. "She did tell me she always overtakes at that spot though." Hodgson picked up the dashcam after a crash while on vacation in Florida last month. He offered the footage to both the drivers of the Skoda and the Citroen, but both declined. Hodgson told the Mirror that he hopes some good comes from the incident. "If anything comes of this, it is hopefully that the lady Porsche driver has learned a lesson and she will not put others in danger again."
