Its a crappy rainy weekend, and I've been working in the garage on one of my other project cars fixing it up so I can sell it. I may be a bit new to Porsches, but not cars/racing. I started with mustangs, and went on to early Datsun Z cars, where I've been building, tracking, and drag racing for over 20 years. From some of the Porsche meets I've been to, talk always turns to "what else do you play with" So to those who have asked, here are some of my other toys/projects that I have built and wrench on. What other toys do you guys drive/wrench/race with?

This is my pride and joy. I've been building/racing it for over 20 years. Just about everything on is performance or hand made. Its a 1978 280Z with a very modded driveline from a late 80's 300zx turbo. Built to be a Viper killer, and it is!





The next is project "flip it" I picked it up at the end of the season last year, and I've been working on it eversince so I can clean it up and sell it. It too is a 1978 280, but much much tamer.

Man that first 280z is so badass! I love it!

Just out of curiosity, how much are you planning on selling that other one for?

I wish I had some other projects to share with everyone but I'm still young and my 944 is my first.

The Zs are cool, the blue one really cleaned up well! Had a very nice 260 (IIRC) participate in Chump Car 24hrs race last year, sounded fantastic.

Here are some of mine.

Not my car, but one that I get to share driving duties on!

My other car is an old Civic. Pretty fun to drive though.

The 944S2s much more reliable if somewhat less torquey replacement.

I think my daily miata is more beat. It is currently at 222k and still rolling.


Me and my dad also picked this up a few weeks ago with only 17k. And it is a much better miata than my daily.
