- Comments Off on Short but Sweet: RGruppe Porsche 911 SWB Hot Rods
Here’s an interesting read for you: the first feature Jamie Lipman and I ever did in the USA from 2008. Was a minor disaster getting there and making this happen, but the end justified the means.
Interest in the short wheelbase 911 has surged in recent years. John Glynn drives a pair of American beauties that make a convincing case for less is more.
Ah, California. In stark contrast to preconceptions of a concrete jungle, California is a state with personality. Away from the major population centres, amazing light and fresh Pacific air mingles with the blissful aroma of pine trees and vines to create a technicolour environment.

- Comments Off on Mind the Gap: EB Motorsport Porsche Panels
Our friends at EB Motorsport are going great guns at the minute, with lightweight Porsche panels and race equipment zooming off all over the world. Business is going so well that EB is flying in skilled composite manufacturing labour from Europe, to catch up with stock requirements while keeping quality consistent.
It’s great to see a brand succeed by sticking to high quality Porsche parts. Here’s a few pictures from Tuthill Porsche yesterday, where EB Motorsport lightweight panels are going on three different project Porsche 911 builds, either in paint at the moment or heading for paint very soon.

- Comments Off on WEVO shifter in the bitchin’est Rally Car in Europe
Dropped into Tuthill Porsche earlier this week, where the team are getting Glenn Janssens’ Belgian Historic Championship-winning 911 together ahead of the season opener in Haspengouw on February 22-23.
Janssens will defend the title in his mega 911, as seen in the Chris Harris video below. The 3.5-litre twin-plug Porsche still runs the EB Motorsport slide throttle system as on sale in the Twinspark Racing shop but this year has added another Twinspark Racing product, in the form of a WEVO Billet Shifter with SL superlight shift knob.
We’ll be following Glenn’s progress through the year. Enjoy the video!
