Racing, Not Posing

Racing, Not PosingLove this short video by Porsche, it fits in quite nicely with our philosophy of driving cars, not just polishing them. I’ve written previously about the mystery of why people don’t just get Porsches out and drive them. Lots of famous archive clips put together, some you’ll know, some I’ve certainly not seen before. Back in the 1980’s of course, Guards Red 911s, matching braces and Motorola Brick mobiles were very much in vogue in the city and Porsche sold very well on the back of being trendy until it all went wrong and the company nearly foundered. Today, Porsche seems to be able to strike the perfect balance between fashionable for the trendy Tiptronic drivers and iconic for the drivers. Regardless of your knowledge of Porsche history, if you own one, get in it and drive it.
