84 PORSCHE 911: 2024 With Our 911

Here we are with another, now apparently, annual 911 RX update.Looks like another year of parking lot activity and one competitive outing for the car. Well, it is 40 years old this year! Although the poor thing did start its birthday year by being used as a table:Although its first weekend outing of the year was an epic, taking in an amazing four cars & coffee events! How many 40...

85 UR QUATTRO: Fixes, Embellishments & Winning Awards

It was over a year since our last update on this car. Not unusual as it spends a lot of time waiting to be fixed. That was the case after last year’s Northville concours as you may remember the passenger side window regulator mechanism packed up again the week before.

TIMSYBERIA: Getting "Started" with Cayenne Maintenance

Since Sno*Drift (aka PooDrift) we've been using our Cayenne mostly for daily driving duties and posing next to our other cars to make them look smaller.We did do one fairly major repair however. We replaced the starter. On a normal car this would be a simple few tools in the parking lot in the middle of the night job but not on a Cayenne. The starter is under the intake...
