Thanks for posting that. I would have missed it otherwise.
I love what the Emory guys do (and have done for decades). When I was working on my own project with the 996 I was heavily interested in what they and others like them had done and were doing all the way back through air-cooled cars to the 356.
That is the history of Porsche that for me makes it interesting for me as an owner. The older racing cars have the self same vibe too, the only difference is the person pouring it in to those models often got a pay check from Stuttgart.
While the 996 is the Porsche model that gets me excited, I know that for every one of those guys there was or is a model that was the same for them. It comes out in the cars they build and its where its at as far as I'm concerned. I could look at pictures, listen to stories, read up with infinite capacity anything that was borne of that spirit no matter the model as a result.

Very well stated...I am also fascinated by the history of the marque and the wild variety of people surrounding it whom I have met over the years.

Nice video thanks
They are still keeping it classy vintage. The Outlaw team take a very different approach

RDMcG thanks for posting. What a great video. I've never driven a 356 and hope to do so in the New Year.
