- Comments Off on Techno Classica 2013 with Porsche Classic
Just over a week left until I’m in the car and on the way to Essen for the 2013 Techno Classica. It’s my seventh successive year attending the event, and I’m not bored with it yet.
Porsche Classic will also attend the world’s largest classic car show from April 10-14, 2013. Stuttgart’s stand will again form part of the VAG exhibition in Hall 7 and pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911.
As well as a restored 356B Carrera GT, four 911s will be brought to Essen. Leading the classic charge is a 1964 example currently being restored by Porsche Classic and a 1965 example, straight out of the museum. I’m guessing that’s the grey and red car: always a popular [...]

- 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!
